Pre-match facts: TSG vs. Werder Bremen

For statistic lovers, here are all the facts and figures ahead of the match between TSG and FC Augsburg:

Did you know that…

…TSG could have more success by crossing?

Bremen have already conceded ten goals from crosses this season, a league high. Mainz 05 used this weakness to their advantage on the last matchday, scoring two of their three goals from crosses.

…TSG have created more than twice as many clear-cut chances as Bremen so far this season?

Gisdol's side have attempted 167 shots so far in this campaign. Bremen's tally may just be 13 less, but the quality of those attempts differs greatly. 37 of those have been clear-cut chances for TSG, while Werder have created just 18.

…the goals for both teams have been spread out amongst the squad?

Both Hoffenheim and Bremen have had nine different goalscorers this season. That sees them share fifth in the league in that statistic.

…TSG generally start games well?

Hoffenheim have scored five goals in the opening 15 minutes of matches, the second-highest amount in the league. Werder have required a little longer to get into their games. Robin Dutt's men have scored just once in the first quarter of an hour of their 13 league matches so far.

…Bremen have lost their way at the back lately?

Werder have conceded eleven goals in their last four league matches alone. That's an average of 2.8 per game. They had been much more solid prior to that. The previous nine matchdays had seen keeper Sebastian Mielitz only need to pick the ball out of his net 12 times (an average of 1.3 goals conceded per game).
