Borussia Dortmund vs Werder Bremen

Borussia Dortmund continue their pursuit of the leaders as they host Werder Bremen in a midweek German Bundesliga fixture.

The hosts are enjoying a good campaign and have been particularly solid on home soil. They should be too strong for the visitors, who are looking out of sorts at the moment.

Borussia Dortmund News

Borussia Dortmund come into this clash off the back of a 3-3 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in their previous Bundesliga fixture. Maximilian Beier and Karim Adeyemi were both on target, while they also needed an injury-time equalizer from Carney Chukwuemeka to salvage a draw.

Manager Niko Kovac will be disappointed with the defensive display, but the result means Dortmund are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions and sit second in the Bundesliga table.

They have also impressed at home and are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 fixtures at the Signal Iduna Park.

Borussia Dortmund often impress going forward and have scored the first half's opening goal in their last five matches. They have also won by two or more goals in three of their last five home matches, earning a win to nil in all three fixtures.

Werder Bremen News

In contrast to Dortmund’s recent form, Werder Bremen are struggling at the moment. Horst Steffen's team are winless in their last six matches across all competitions and have slipped to 11th in the table.

Werder Bremen are coming off a 0-0 draw at Augsburg in their previous Bundesliga fixture. That result followed a familiar pattern as they have now failed to score in their last three matches.

The defeat to Augsburg is also part of a poor away record for Werder Bremen, who are winless in eight of their last nine away matches. They have also failed to score in three of their last four fixtures on the road across all competitions.

Head to Head

Borussia Dortmund have six wins and four draws, while Werder Bremen have picked up two victories in the last 10 matches. However, the hosts were held to a 2-2 scoreline in the most recent meeting last January.

Verdict

Borussia Dortmund v Werder Bremen

Given the contrasting form of both teams coming into this clash, Tuesday's fixture is likely to be a mismatch. Having won by two or more goals in three of their last five home matches, a similarly comfortable victory could be expected here.

Borussia Dortmund have a knack for fast starts and should continue their trend of grabbing the first half's opening goal. Having won to nil in three of their last five home matches, they should also play out a similar outcome against Bremen, who appear to be struggling in attack at the moment.
