Werder Bremen: After another home game debacle, the pressure grows!
Werder Bremen had to accept a narrow defeat in the home game against 1. FC Saarbrücken on January 13, 2025.

This defeat follows another bitter Watsche: Werder left the same opponent with 1: 3 ten days ago in the cup semi-final. This year it is already the third defeat for the Bremen.
In an exciting game that took place in front of a home crowd, Werder coach Cristian Tamas nevertheless praised the performance of his team and described Saarbrücken as strong opponents. The emotional climax was the final double: Mattias Falck and Marcelo Aguirre brought it to a three -soil fight after they had lost the first two sentences. The third set clearly went to the Bremen duo with 11: 2, but in the fourth sentence Werder initially led 3: 1 before they had to handle it impressively with 7:11.

look at the season
The season that has been unsuccessful so far is in stark contrast to the hopes and expectations that Werder Bremen had set up before the Bundesliga began. Particularly noteworthy is Kirill Gerassimenko, who shone with two individual victories at the start of the season against Borussia Dortmund and led his team to 3-1 success. This victory marked the start of the current season, in which Gerassmenko, such as the 3: 1 against Cedric Nuytinck and the exciting 3: 2 against different, drew attention to what underlines the quality and potential of the team.
The next games will be crucial to get out of the current crisis. Werder Bremen is required to collect points and to regain self-confidence, while the challenge of the Bundesliga season continues.
