Last season was highly disappointing for Werder with a 10th place finish for a club more used to the top three. Two Cup final appearances placated the fans somewhat but they will be expecting more from their side this term.
Diego is gone, so a lot of expectation passes to youngsters Mesut Oezil and Marko Marin. With Claudio Pizarro’s future still not sorted, Werder will look to summer signing Marcelo Moreno for the goals.
Frankfurt begin life after Friedhelm Funkel with Michael Skibbe at the helm and hope that they will be able to pull themselves out of the mid-table obscurity in which they have found themselves in recent seasons. It will be a tough opener for them as they travel to the Weser Stadion on the opening Saturday of the season.
Prediction: Werder 2-0 Frankfurt
Goal is already starting out on the wrong foot, let this be the first wrong prediction of the year!!!!
Weser Stadium is not a bad place to play..... i remember a number of matches we won there ... in the league and in f.a. cup as well..... Anyway.....a 0-5 is also not too long ago..... So don´t question me what my prediction is....
First I want to say that I am very excited about the season starting in less than 24 hours. Its very difficult to predict scores these days because so many things happen unexpectedly. The way Eintracht played and won two years ago in Bremen was awesome, a 2:1 win to secure a place in the bundesliga for the next year. Last year was completely different, a 5:0 win which couldve easily been tied early if we hadnt missed a few early chances. I think the key to winning against Bremen is scoring a quick early goal and coming out with all the momentum. A 2:1 win is almost too optimistic, but thats what I am hoping for. A more realistic scoreline would be 1:1 or 2:2 but we could happily accept any "lucky" bounces to give us the advantage.
PREDICTION: SV WERDER BREMEN - SG EINTRACHT FRANKFURT 1 : 1 Lets hope that I am wrong though and that Eintracht can be victorious!!!!!!
Goal.com preview....for once I think I can say I agree to the result. Eintracht 2 - Nurnberg 0
Eintracht Frankfurt – 1.FC Nurnberg
Frankfurt emerged from the Weser Stadion rather surprisingly with all three points last weekend after coming out on the right end of a 3-2 scoreline. Striker Ioannis Amanatidis scored twice before half-time to prove something to everybody after being stripped of the club captaincy.
Nurnberg were the only promoted side to lose their first game and they will want to do everything in their power to avoid two successive losses at the start of the new season.
This would have been a great scoreline and it is probably how the final score should have looked, but unfortunately that's not how it turned out. I must say for the first time in a while I was actually quite disappointed with the tie. I will be going to Germany wednesday and will be there for the away game in Koeln and the home game against Dortmund!!!!! LETS GO EINTRACHT!!!

I dont think they deserved any more than one point as Nurnberg were the better team. Was quite disappointed in the performance but 4 points from 6 is still a decent start.
