Werder Bremen entertain German champions VfB Stuttgart, and bundesliga.de has compiled ten facts you should know about Saturday's top clash.



Fact 1:
Stuttgart did the double over Werder last season, winning 3-2 in the Weserstadion and 4-1 at home. Mario Gomez and Roberto Hilbert were on target in both matches.

Fact 2:
Overall VfB are unbeaten in five matches against Werder, and Bremen's last home win over Stuttgart dates back to December 1, 2002 (3-1).

Fact 3:
Stuttgart have won more Bundesliga matches in Bremen than any other club (12), and 56 goals scored in Bremen is also a Bundesliga record. Additionally VfB have scored in ten of their last eleven matches in Bremen.

Fact 4:
Werder's highest home win over VfB dates back to the 1985/86 season. On November 29, 1985 Stuttgart were sent home with a 6-0 humiliation as Frank Ordenewitz, Michael Kutzop and Manfred Burgsmüller all scored twice.

Fact 5:
Both teams have met in the Weserstadion 41 times, and there hasn't been a single goalless draw.

Fact 6:
No one has forgotten the match in Stuttgart on March 28, 2004. Werder's Ivan Klasnic and Ailton both scored a brace for Werder, but VfB defender Marcelo Bordon with a hat-trick and Marco Streller replied for VfB in an entertaining 4-4 draw.

Fact 7:
Thomas Schaaf suffered his first defeat on the Werder bench against VfB. Schaaf had taken over from Felix Magath for the last three matches of the 1998/99 season, and after two successive wins Werder lost 1-0 in Stuttgart on matchday 34.

Fact 8:
Bremen have already conceded ten goals. Only Rostock's defence (11) has been worse. Werder are down in 13th place after five matches, their worst start since 2001 when they finished sixth in the end.

Fact 9:
Last season Stuttgart won their first two away matches, 3-2 in Bielefeld (despite finishing the match with nine players) and 3-2 in Bremen (despite being 2-0 down). This season VfB have lost their first two away matches.

Fact 10:
VfB have scored only one of their seven goals away from home. Promoted Hansa Rostock are the only other team without away points.
