Full-time: Werder Bremen 1-2 Wolfsburg

Wolfsburg edge out Bremen away from home! They were in front inside the first 10 minutes through Patrick Wimmer, who scored a stunner to double his side's lead after the break. In between the two strikes, though, Bremen had several chances, with Marius Müller keeping his team in front. The hosts did halve the deficit in injury time through Mitchell Weiser, but it proved to be too little, too late.

Goal probability

Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

11 %

Distance to Goal

The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

The hosts have seemingly had the better chances, but they are still two goals down.

Ball Recovery Time

Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Goalkeeper Efficiency of Marius Müller

Goalkeeper Efficiency

Goalkeeper Efficiency compares the number of saves a goalkeeper makes with his expected saves (xSaves). xSaves is calculated with the help of artificial intelligence. When a goalkeeper has a positive efficiency value, it means he has saved more shots than statistically expected.

Stunner!

Wimmer's first goal may have been fortunate, but his was anything but! A hit from 30 yards beats Zetterer as it flies into the top corner. Brilliant!

Half-time: Werder Bremen 0-1 Wolfsburg

The visitors have a narrow lead at the break! Patrick Wimmer scored the opener from close ranger via his back from Andreas Skov Olsen's corner, although that was the only shot on target they had before the break. Instead, Marius Müller was a wall between the sticks for Wolfsburg, denying the hosts on numerous occasions. André Silva also hit the post, and Bremen will feel they are creating enough to recover after the break.

Ralph Hasenhüttl's view on Bremen

"We're expecting the same Werder, even though they might have some players missing with injuries and illness. They're a team who live from their customary patterns of play. We need to do what we've done well in recent games, being tight at the back. We need to do much better than in the reverse fixture where we were too far apart, especially in the second half. But I feel we defend differently now."

Ole Werner's view on Wolfsburg

"We need to be prepared to fight hard. They have a lot of quality, both individually and as a team. They have progressed as a team since we played them earlier this season and always look for the most direct path to goal. Defence will be key."

Ralph Hasenhüttl celebrated his debut as Wolfsburg head coach with a win in Bremen last March, but the Austrian was powerless to prevent Werder taking their revenge earlier this season. The good news for Wolves fans is that their team have recorded more Bundesliga wins at the Weser than any other stadium (12, including three in the last four).
