Werder coach Daniel Thioune changed to three positions after the 1-2 defeat at FC St. Pauli, which saw Bremen slip to 17th place: Deman, Sugawara and Milosesivc started for Schmidt, Njinmah (both on the bench) and Mbangula (thigh injury). The North Germans also made a system change to a back four. Heidenheim coach Frank Schmidt converted three times compared to the 3-3 draw against Stuttgart. Regular goalkeeper Ramaj was ill and Feller started for him. Traoré and Dorsch also started for Siersleben and Pieringer (both bench). FCH also switched to a back four. Deman’s goal doesn’t count – two mega chances for Werder. Both teams were nervous, but Werder initially did better. Heidenheim stood deep, waited for counterattacks and made many mistakes. Werder had the first chance, Stage’s header remained harmless (19th). In the 26th minute the ball found its way into the visitors’ net and Deman had scored. But the goal was conceded because Milosevic was offside and hindered FCH keeper Feller. Shortly later, Milosevic had a great chance to take the lead when he slipped the ball past the empty goal (36th). #svw #svwerder #svwerderbremen #fcheidenheim
