Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Buoyed by a come-from-behind win over Stuttgart, Borussia Dortmund will be aiming to stay in the Champions League race when they take on Werder Bremen at their Signal-Iduna-Park. Edin Terzic’s troops head into the match following the Champions League encounter with Man City, meaning that tired legs could prove to be a big problem for the home team. Marco Reus should be fit to face die Werderaner, as well as Jadon Sancho, but Axel Witsel, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Marcel Schmelzer, and Youssoufa Moukoko remain in the recovery room.
Werder Bremen suffered a dip in form, and given their four-game losing run in the Bundesliga, we do not believe that the underdogs are capable of upsetting Borussia Dortmund at Signal-Iduna-Park. All Omer Toprak, Felix Agu, Ludwig Augustinsson, Niclas Fullkrug, Nick Woltemade, and Luca Plogmann are out of contention for the visitors.
