Mirko Slomka wanted his side to ensure its troublesome trip to the Ukraine was worth it with three points against Vorskla Poltava Thursday. Hannover had to land in Kharkiv to pick up an expert pilot who could land the team on Poltava's military airstrip, but having overcome the complications of the journey, Slomka was focused on taking his side one step closer to qualifying for the knockout stage of the Europa League. "If we win, then we are either first or second in the group and that would be a huge advantage," he said. "Usually, 10 points are enough to take you through the group." After a tie in it first match, that means Slomka's side needs "three more wins" to reach his side's goal.

Werder Bremen is starting to get used to its role as the strongest candidate to deny Bayern Munich the Bundesliga title this season. A 2-1 win over Hertha Berlin last weekend means that only two points separate the two clubs at the top of the table and Bremen, unlike the rest of the Bundesliga, is not going to congratulate the Bavarians on the title yet. "I am sticking to my words that none of the 17 other Bundesliga clubs needs to raise the white flag in front of Bayern," said the club's director of sport Klaus Allofs. He and coach Thomas Schaaf were both on the bench in 2004 when Bremen pipped Bayern both to the league and cup. Marko Arnautovic wasn't, on the other hand, but he is still confident of his side's title chances. "We are second and that means we are hunting Bayern down," he said.
