Werder will welcome Borussia Dortmund to Weserstadion on Saturday for a one-on-one Bundesliga clash, with kickoff slated for 17:30 GMT.
Key Highlights
Werder Bremen Bidding to Return to Winning Ways After Back-to-Back Matches Without a Win
Werder Bremen are winless in their last two matches. They drew 1-1 against Darmstadt and lost last time out away to Hoffenheim (2-1).
Bremen have won twice, drawn once, and lost twice in their last five matches. They will look to get back to winning ways when they host Dortmund on Saturday.
They currently sit 8th on the Bundesliga table with 30 points, 14 points behind their opponents on Saturday. Bremen’s focus will be to be pragmatic, aggressive, and solid in their approach, which will allow them to stay in the game and pose a threat on the counter.
Borussia Dortmund Look to Get Back-to-Back Wins in the Bundesliga as They Bid to Retain their Top-Four Berth
Dortmund’s form has dropped in recent matches. They have won twice in their last five outings, drawing twice, and losing once in the process.
They sit fourth on the table with 44 points, just a point ahead of fifth-placed RB Leipzig. The one-point lead means they have little room for error ahead of their trip to Bremen.
Dortmund’s focus will be on getting a fast start and scoring an early goal to settle their nerves and draw Bremen out. If the match stays level for long, Bremen will have encouragement and home support that might make the clash harder for Dortmund.
