The 110th Nordderby between these traditional rivals proved to be one of the more memorable in recent years, with Bremen securing a crucial victory to distance themselves from relegation trouble. The hosts came into the match having lost three of their last four games, with captain Marco Friedl absent through suspension following his red card against Cologne. Hamburg, meanwhile, arrived in Bremen with a comfortable six-point cushion above the relegation play-off place, aiming to continue their steady progress under Merlin Polzin, who faced his former mentor Daniel Thioune in the opposing dugout.
