Werder Bremen – Borussia Dortmund

Werder Bremen host a formidable Borussia Dortmund side that sit second in the table with nine points from three straight victories, boasting an impressive 8‑2 goal tally. The hosts sit just above the relegation zone in 11th place, having earned four points from a win, a draw and a loss while scoring five and conceding six. Dortmund arrive in Bremen unbeaten and with a +6 goal difference, whereas the home side’s modest +‑1 margin underscores the challenge ahead. If Bremen hope to climb the table, they will need to tighten up defensively and find a way to break down a Dortmund outfit that has yet to drop points this campaign.
