Bielefeld (dpa) - With a win in the catch-up game of the Bundesliga at Arminia Bielefeld, Werder Bremen can create a secure lead over the relegation ranks.
"Now we have the chance to take a big step," said Werder coach Florian Kohfeldt in the run-up to the game this Wednesday (6.30 p.m. / Sky) on the Bielefelder Alm. At the same time, he warned against increasing the importance of the game.
"The season is not over after that."
In the event of a win, Werder would have an eleven point lead over the relegation place on which Bielefeld is, and would even be twelve points ahead of the direct relegation ranks - with ten match days outstanding.
Newcomer Arminia Bielefeld plague much more acute relegation worries, which a success against Werder could alleviate for the time being.
With a three, East Westphalia would leave 16th place behind, overtake Hertha BSC and keep Bremen in the relegation battle.

After the 0-0 win against Union Berlin on Sunday and a total of three league games without a hit, the new coach of East Westphalia, Frank Kramer, hopes that his team will be more likely to score.
"We want and have to get better there," he emphasized.
Fast attacks after winning the ball should be played out more effectively.
He indicated that his team would attack the guests early.
"It is important that we are active."
The duel between the two teams should actually have taken place on the 20th matchday at the beginning of February, but was canceled at short notice due to a severe onset of winter.
The Ostwestfalen have been without a win for six league games and three games without a goal.
For Kramer it is the second game as Bielefeld coach after the departure of promotion coach Uwe Neuhaus.
