Borussia Dortmund vs Werder Bremen Predictions
Dortmund can punish Bremen’s defensive frailties
Dortmund have won six consecutive matches, including Bundesliga victories over Hamburg, Hoffenheim, Paderborn and Stuttgart. Their 1-0 success at Stuttgart before the international break maintained a perfect league start, while Villarreal were beaten 3-2 in Europe and HEBC Hamburg 5-0 in the German Cup.
Kovac’s summer additions Joey Veerman, Giannis Konstantelias, Konstantinos Karetsas and Ethan Nwaneri have strengthened a squad already featuring Serhou Guirassy, Felix Nmecha and Julian Ryerson. Back at home, Dortmund are understandably long odds-on for another victory.
Bremen’s away defending offers little reassurance. Daniel Thioune’s side lost 4-1 at Freiburg and drew 1-1 at Cologne, allowing 2.37 and 1.65 expected goals respectively. Even their point at Cologne came with chances conceded.
All four Bremen league games have featured both teams scoring, producing 16 goals overall. I’m backing Borussia Dortmund to win and over 2.5 match goals at 9.50, combining the hosts’ unbeaten winning sequence with Bremen’s four-goal match average.

Bremen’s goals may offer scant consolation
Bremen have scored in all four Bundesliga fixtures, including their 4-1 defeat at Freiburg and 1-1 draw at Cologne. Their attacking contribution has survived away from home, but conceding chances worth 2.37 and 1.65 expected goals on those trips exposes the defensive concern.
Dortmund have won six straight matches and all four league outings. Their 3-2 win over Villarreal showed their capacity to score three against European opposition, while the 5-0 cup success against HEBC Hamburg brought another substantial return.
The 1-0 victory at Stuttgart before the international break was narrower. Yet this home fixture pits Dortmund against a Bremen side whose four league matches have produced 16 goals, with neither team keeping a clean sheet.
After Bremen conceded four at Freiburg despite scoring themselves, Borussia Dortmund 3-1 could be worth a look at 10.00.
