Intense clash on home soil

SV Werder Bremen’s Bundesliga meeting with 1. FC Köln on Saturday, 23rd September 2023 (18:30 CEST) at the wohninvest WESERSTADION is expected to be nothing short of intense.

Tough defeat in Heidenheim

SV Werder Bremen suffered a painful defeat away to 1. FC Heidenheim on Sunday afternoon. The hosts took an early lead through Kleindienst’s penalty (5’), and although Werder had plenty of chances to hit back, they lacked the clinical edge. Dinkci slotted away his first on the stroke of half time to double FCH's advantage (44’), before Ducksch (49’) and Weiser (64’) were able to level the game…
