Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Weserstadion will host Saturday’s football game between Werder Bremen and Borussia Dortmund, the two old rivals. Die Werderaner head into the match following at 2-2 draw with Augsburg and, no doubt, their stadium will be packed in the first home game of the process. Both Jung and Njinmah are pushing for recalls to the starting XI as the duo Topp – Stark failed to impress in the season opener, while defender Amos Pieper remains in the recovery room.
The Yellow-Blacks, on the other hand, defeated Frankfurt 2-0 in the opening match of the season despite Sehrou Guirassy’s injury. The big-money signing remains in the recovery room alongside Kjell Watjen, but there are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team. As Borussia Dortmund have defeated Werder Bremen in each of their last three meetings in the Bundesliga, away win should definitely be considered.
Highlighted Player (Julian Brandt):
Julian Brandt is one of the most promising wingers in Germany. He started playing football in his hometown, Bremen, at SC Borgfeld, moving to FC Oberneuland, after which he joined VLF Wolfsburg’s youth academy. With 27 goals in his 48 games during two seasons with the Wolves, Brandt recommended himself to Bayer 04 Leverkusen, signing a five-and-a-half-year contract in January 2014.
The 22-year-old winger prefers to play on the left flank, but he can also provide help on the right side, as well as an attacking midfielder. During the season 2015/2016, Julian Brandt netted goals in six consecutive games, becoming the youngest player since Gerd Muller to achieve this.
The good performances in the season made Joackim Low call the youngster in Germany’s preliminary 27-man squad for the Euro 2016 and he made his first appearance for the senior squad in May 2016, against Slovakia. He was a part of the Germany squad at the Summer Olympics, where Brandt and his teammates won the silver medal. In the summer of 2018, Julian Brandt made the World Cup team.
