Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Borussia Dortmund will be aiming to build on a 4-2 win over Union Berlin when they take on Werder Bremen at Signal-Iduna-Park on Friday evening. The Yellow-Blacks are eyeing their fifth consecutive league win and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. All Julien Duranville, Thomas Meunier, and Mateu Morey remain in the recovery room, while Julian Brandt is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the last league match.
Die Werderaner, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team losing three of their last four league matches and seeing that Borussia Dortmund are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. All Dudu, Jiri Pavlenka, Naby Keita, Amos Pieper, and Niklas Stark are out of contention with injuries, while both Christian Gross and Nicolai Rapp are major doubts.
