Key Stats
- Dortmund have won six straight matches in all competitions and are yet to concede a goal at home in the Bundesliga this season.
- Both teams to score has landed in 80% of Werder Bremen’s recent matches — they score freely but also concede in almost every game.
- Dortmund are unbeaten in the last five meetings with Bremen (3 wins, 2 draws), winning both encounters last season.
3-1. Dortmund’s relentless winning machine should prove too strong for a Bremen side missing a host of players through injury. The hosts have too much firepower with Guirassy leading the line, but Bremen’s open style — BTTS in 80% of their recent games — means the visitors can nick a consolation in an entertaining home win.
