Niko Kovac will be delighted with the start to the season that Borussia Dortmund have enjoyed, as they remain the only club in the Bundesliga with a perfect record. Die Borussen have thrived in the final third domestically, scoring nine goals, while keeping clean sheets in three of their fixtures.

Serhou Guirassy has been efficient in the final third, racking up five goal involvements in four club appearances.

Maximilian Beier has also registered goals/assists in his last two starts. Emre Can and Filippo Mane aren’t set to return until the start of November, but Nico Schlotterbeck could start on Friday.

Bremen Showing Improvement in Thioune’s First Full Season

Daniel Thioune guided Werder Bremen to Bundesliga survival last season, and progress has already been made in the opening rounds of the new campaign in 2026-27.

Die Werderaner have lost just once in the opening four rounds, showing character to bounce back from an opening day loss with two wins in their last three. An attacking threat has been evident throughout the season, with at least three goals scored in two of their most recent three.

Niclas Füllkrug has been in fine form, scoring in each of the last three matches. Marco Grüll has been dangerous from wide, registering six goal involvements in the Bundesliga. The visitors will be without the injured Felix Agu, Jens Stage, and Senne Lynen on Friday.

Werder Bremen predicted lineup vs Borussia Dortmund (3-4-3): Hein; Pieper, Friedl, Deman; Arthur, Reis, Regeer, Grüll; Dinkci, Füllkrug, Chuki
