Werder Bremen vs Borussia Dortmund Predictions

Expect fireworks at the Weserstadion

Over 2.5 goals looks the best bet when Werder Bremen host Borussia Dortmund at Weserstadion on Saturday. Niko Kovac’s side were 3-2 winners against Eintracht Frankfurt in their last Bundesliga game last Friday and there should be more goals in this clash with Daniel Thioune’s hosts.

Borussia Dortmund are 13 places above Werder Bremen in the table, with the two sides separated by 38 points. The hosts sit 15th with eight wins and 17 losses, while Dortmund are second, having won 21 of their 33 games.

Werder Bremen are on a bad run, with their last two Bundesliga games ending in defeat, while Borussia Dortmund have recorded three wins and three losses in their last six league matches. Dortmund have won four of their last five away games against Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga.

The visitors are looking vulnerable at the back. Borussia Dortmund have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last seven Bundesliga games.

Over 2.5 goals has been a winner in four of Werder Bremen’s last six Bundesliga home games, with the hosts’ last three home games all finishing with three or more goals.

A 3-0 away win for Borussia Dortmund is an appealing correct-score bet. At least one of the sides has failed to score in four of the last six Bundesliga head-to-heads, and Dortmund scored three goals in their last league game.
