Werder U23 in crisis: Is there a threat of elimination against Altona 93?
On the evening of November 12, 2025, a decisive duel in the Regionalliga Nord was scheduled for the U23s of SV Werder Bremen. The team welcomed Altona 93 for the eagerly awaited game, which kicked off at 7:30 p.m. half an hour late due to the guests' travel problems. In the 34th minute, Tayfun Can gave the guests the lead with an impressive long-range shot from 30 meters. Werder had previously missed a great opportunity to take the lead through Paul Erevbenagie, but it remained unused. The half-time score was 0-1 for Altona, which urgently needs points to escape the relegation zone.
Both teams were under pressure before the game: Altona 93 are in last place in the league with just 15 points and have lost their last three games, while Werder U23 have been waiting for a win for five games. Before the game, U23 head coach Christian Brand emphasized the importance of this game in order to end the negative series. Historically, Bremen have a positive record against Altona: three wins and only one loss have been recorded; their last victorious appearance took place in May 2024, when they secured direct promotion with a 1-0 win.
Game progression and tactics
After Can's goal, Altona 93 increasingly withdrew and let Werder take possession of the ball. This defensive behavior presented Bremen with major challenges as they had difficulty asserting themselves offensively. The lineups of the two teams were as follows:
| Werder Bremen | Altona 93 |
|---|---|
| Mielitz | Lohmann |
| Heitmann | Yilmaz |
| rocker | Mekic |
| Lütke Frie | Tsimba Eggers |
| Bellman | Przondziono |
| Kasper | Wemakor |
| Schultz | Tobinski |
| wagner | Gelzer |
| Top | Amborisius |
| Hansen Aaron | Sulejmani |
| Erevbenagie | Can |
Both teams knew the importance of the points. From the outside, Altona 93 conceded the second most goals with 24 in nine away games; only HSC Hannover and VfB Lübeck were worse in this regard. Werder, on the other hand, needed a turnaround; the fans mobilized to support their team. The fan instructions emphasized the need for Werder fans to use goal system 2 and Altona fans to use goal system 3.
Outlook and expectations
Today's game was not just a battle for points, but also for both teams' belief in their ability to master the difficult conditions of the Regionalliga Nord. After the final whistle, the match reports were published on WERDER.DE, and fans were able to stream the game live and free of charge on nordfv.tv. The next few weeks will be crucial, both for Werder, who are desperate for a turnaround, and for Altona, who want to get out of the relegation zone.
