Werder Bremen vs VfL Bochum

Since 2000, VfL Bochum have only won one of their 20 Bundesliga games against Werder Bremen (D4, L15): 2-1 away in February 2008. Overall, Bochum have only lost more top-flight matches to FC Bayern (50) than versus Werder (45), while SVW have only beaten Schalke 04 more often (46 times).

SV Werder Bremen have won each of their last three Bundesliga games – this is the longest winning run right now in the division and Werder have only otherwise enjoyed a winning streak this long this season in December 2024 (also 3 games). SVW last won four Bundesliga games in a row in 2014/15 under Viktor Skripnik (5). Werder have recorded four victories from their last five league games (L1), exactly as many wins as they managed in their previous 14 Bundesliga fixtures combined.

20 points from 29 games represents VfL Bochum’s worst ever season in the Bundesliga. Every team with 20 or less points at this stage has gone on to be relegated (29 teams in total). Bochum have now suffered four straight Bundesliga defeats for the first time under Dieter Hecking.

No Bundesliga team has claimed as many points as SV Werder Bremen since the start of matchday 25 (12). In contrast, VfL Bochum have only picked up three points from their last five league games, surprisingly winning 3-2 away at league leaders FC Bayern München – only Holstein Kiel (2) and VfL Wolfsburg (1) have claimed fewer points over the last five matchdays.

In a table representing only the second half of games, Werder Bremen would be second with 48 points behind only FC Bayern München (61) – VfL Bochum would be bottom with just 20 points. Werder have conceded the second-most goals in the first half of matches (30), Bochum the third most (28, Kiel: 40).
