Werder Bremen is chasing a fourth home win – Cologne is looking for a turnaround!

On November 29th, 2025 it will once again be time for the fans of SV Werder Bremen: kick-off to the Bundesliga! At 3:30 p.m. 1. FC Köln will be guests at the Weserstadion. This duel promises excitement, especially since Bremen were successful in their last three home games in the Bundesliga and are now hoping for their fourth home win in a row - a feat that last happened between February and April 2018. With a total of 30 home wins in 50 Bundesliga duels against the Domstadt team, Werder has an impressive record against Cologne Sports1 reported.

But not everything is going smoothly in the Bremen camp. Defender Julian Malatini will be missing due to a torn hamstring. He has only played two competitive games this season and could soon be a candidate for a change. In contrast, Jens Stage shines, leading Bremen's top scorers list with four goals and possibly celebrating his 100th Bundesliga appearance in today's game - another reason to be happy for the enthusiastic fans.

Werder with a strong home advantage

Bremen have remained unbeaten in their last five league games against newly promoted teams, with three wins and two draws, and they are strong defensively, having not conceded a goal in their last three games. On the other hand, 1. FC Köln comes to Bremen with two defeats in a row. After a 1:3 defeat against Mönchengladbach and a 3:4 defeat against Frankfurt, Cologne is threatened with a disappointing third game with at least three goals conceded, which would equal the club's negative record from the 2017/2018 season. Statistics-loving fans will also know that Cologne has lost eight points after leading this season, which doesn't exactly speak for stability.

It is interesting that Cologne's captain Marina Hegering will be out for a long time after shoulder surgery. Even if the Cologne team can rely on joker goals - they have already scored seven this season - they have a difficult game ahead of them. Marius Bülter, for example, recently shone with his third goal of the season and scored five of his Bundesliga goals against Werder. Cologne have already scored ten of their 19 goals this season in the final quarter of an hour, a league record together with Bayern Munich. But Bremen did a lot to remain defensively stable in the last 15 minutes and only conceded three goals.

TV broadcast and live updates

As fans who don't want to miss the spectacle know, the game will not be broadcast on free TV. The broadcast takes place via Sky and DAZN, and for those who prefer to read, updates are available in the live ticker Sports1 available. Anyone who follows the current form of both teams and their last meetings will certainly feel the anticipation for this match today.

Sooner or later the comeback will always be even better! So let's see how Werder Bremen and 1. FC Köln fare today in one of the most anticipated games in the league!
