Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Werder Bremen is 6.81, compared to 6.77 for Hamburger SV. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Werder Bremen's highest-rated starter is Amos Pieper (7.07), while Hamburger SV's best-rated player is Daniel Fernandes (7.15).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Werder Bremen have contributed 23 goals and 19 assists this season, led by Jens Stage (9G). Hamburger SV's starters account for 13 goals and 18 assists, spearheaded by Fábio Vieira (5G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Werder Bremen deploy 4 defenders rated 6.76 on average, against Hamburger SV's 3-man backline averaging 6.71. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Werder Bremen field 5 midfielders averaging 6.84, versus Hamburger SV's 4 rated 6.72. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Werder Bremen start 1 forward(s) averaging 6.67, compared to 3 for Hamburger SV averaging 6.78. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 80% for Werder Bremen and 77% for Hamburger SV. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Werder Bremen's starters have collected 34 yellow cards this season, compared to 37 for Hamburger SV. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Werder Bremen's starting XI is 24.4 (youngest: Karim Coulibaly (18), oldest: Jens Stage (29)), while Hamburger SV average 26.4 (youngest: William Mikelbrencis (21), oldest: Daniel Fernandes (33)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Werder Bremen's starters average 23 league appearances each, versus 22 for Hamburger SV. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
