Werder Bremen is currently in eighth place in the Bundesliga standings and has been inconsistent thus far this season. The home team defeated VfB Stuttgart 2-0 last week, and they will have to put in a lot of effort in this game to achieve the same result.
Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, is currently in third place in the league and has been performing admirably this season. The Ruhr Valley giants beat VfL Bochum 2-1 in their previous match, and they will try to improve this weekend. Dortmund, on the other hand, has won all five of their games in all competitions since returning from the World Cup, which is a serious run of their own.
Prediction
Borussia Dortmund has performed admirably since the beginning of the year, and they will be determined to take advantage of this opportunity. This weekend, Marco Reus and Julian Brandt, who can be deadly on their day, will attempt to establish themselves.
In the Bundesliga, Werder Bremen has stepped up and is capable of hitting hard on their day. However, Borussia Dortmund appears to be the superior team, so they should be able to win this game.

Team news
Marco Friedl, who received his fifth caution of the season during Werder’s victory over Stuttgart last time out, will miss the match. However, Mitchell Weiser, who served his own suspension last time out, will be available again.
Since Werner has benched Milos Veljkovic for the last few games, he will almost certainly start in his place, and Niklas Stark will likely move across the defensive line. Calf and tendon injuries keep Jean-Manuel Mbom and Felix Agu out of action.
Abdoulaye Kamara and Mateu Morey will miss Dortmund’s trip to Bremen because of knee injuries, and Thomas Meunier won’t be risked because he just got over a muscle strain.
Reyna could start on either flank given his recent goalscoring prowess, as Karim Adeyemi is suspended for his fifth booking of the season.

Werder Bremen:
- Pavlenka;
