Werder Bremen's flaw in the goal difference

On Friday evening, after the Bremen 2: 3 defeat after 2-0 lead against Holstein Kiel, it was clear that SV Darmstadt 98 could pass in the table to Werder almost exactly 24 hours later-because of the then Better goal difference with currently 57 points, even from a result of 1: 0.

But pass so far? With 6: 0 (!) The "lilies" won their home game, thus sealing the descent of Erzgebirge Aue - and expanded their lead to the relegation place on the same young. There, SV Werder, who, as the previous league leader, had previously had to let FC Schalke 04 had to pass - because now with two points more on the account. And by the way, a better goal difference (plus 26).

Tord difference: The immediate competition is clearly ahead

The Bremen have the flaw that the goal difference of plus 17 currently corresponds to the worst value of the four best -placed teams in the 2nd league. The pursuer HSV comes to a difference of plus 30 as the second division with the fewest goals (32 in 32 games): If Hamburgers could catch up with the three points behind Werder in the two outstanding games, they would also pass in the table.

But according to Niclas Füllkrug, it shouldn't get that far. The Bremen attacker, who scored his 17th goal of the season against Kiel on Friday, but also spent a few more chances, said at SKY90: "We have to win the two games, and - that should not sound in any way - it is best to sound as high as possible." The two opponents then read: Aue, according to the same 0: 6, and Jahn Regensburg. "Otherwise," clarified filling jug, "we don't need to talk about any goals in that direction", that is: the ascent. However, if Schalke and Darmstadt are no longer pounding, there would only be the possibility of catching up the six goals behind the second in the table - or just over the relegation.

Füllkrug relies on the return of a trio

For the remaining two, perhaps four season games, the striker at least conjures up the return of "two or three important players", whose participation might have been noticeable than to give up a 2-0 lead completely. Especially since Christian Groß (after Corona infection), Milos Veljkovic (muscle fiber tear) and Ömer Toprak (calf problems) are defensive specialists who would have hardly tolerated the Bremen defense behavior in the form of Friday. And according to Füllkrug, "have a radiance in our team who are good for us to have a little more security, more sovereignty".

Apparently there is the possibility that the trio, which is supposed to get back into team training this week, could be on the pitch again in Aue.

" Werder wanted to show a real reaction after the 2: 3, according to the 29-year-old: "We got into a situation in which we are under pressure."
