Werder Bremen vs Borussia Dortmund Preview
Werder Bremen
Werder kicked off the new Bundesliga campaign very well. In their away clash against Augsburg, they secured a hard-fought 2-2 draw. The team showed more intensity in the second half and came close to snatching all three points. However, Marvin Ducksch squandered a golden opportunity, failing to beat the goalkeeper one-on-one.
Werder will aim to extend their unbeaten streak to three matches. While it may be ambitious to expect them to challenge for European spots this season, they remain a tricky opponent capable of causing problems for many sides.
Rumours are swirling that the hosts are interested in acquiring Issa Kabore from Manchester City. He is considered an alternative to Mitchel Weiser and could provide a much-needed boost to the team.
Borussia Dortmund
Borussia secured a solid 2-0 victory against Eintracht at home. However, the match could have taken a different turn had the visitors capitalized on their early chances when the score was still 0-0. Ultimately, Dortmund’s class prevailed, and thanks to Jamie Bynoe-Gittens’ brace, the hosts won.
A standout in defense was Nico Schlotterbeck, whose brilliant performance included six successful clearances, eight tackles, and even a successful dribble.
Jamie Byone-Gittens will likely appear in the starting lineup after his impressive display. In contrast, Karim Adeyemi was lacklustre against Eintracht and struggled to make an impact. Meanwhile, Serhou Guirassy is in the final stages of rehabilitation and is expected to return to the Dortmund lineup shortly.

- Pick: Dortmund to Win
- Odds: 1.83 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Werder Bremen 1-2 Borussia Dortmund
Under the guidance of their new head coach, Nuri Sahin, Borussia Dortmund have made an impressive start. In a difficult match, they beat Eintracht 2-0 and maintained control for much of the match.
Historically, Dortmund have held the upper hand in head-to-head matches against Werder. We think that with the addition of new talents to the squad, Borussia is well-positioned to grab a victory in this game. Despite room for further improvement, the visitors should have enough quality to edge past Werder.
Werder’s lineup has not seen any significant reinforcements, and their head coach is doing his best to maximize the potential of his current lineup. However, the history in H2H meetings isn’t in their favor. Our free football prediction suggests backing Dortmund to claim victory in this encounter.
Werder Bremen vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to score & Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: 1.60 (22Bet)
Ole Werner’s men played a decent away match in the first round, outplaying Augsburg in terms of scoring opportunities, ball possession, and recording twice as many shots on target as their opponents. Dortmund, meanwhile, left no chance for their opponents in their season opener.
We would also like to note that Werder have struggled against Borussia in recent years, losing 6 of their previous 7 Bundesliga encounters. Facing an opponent of this caliber will be a tough challenge for Die Werderaner.
There’s little doubt about Dortmund’s attacking prowess. Last season, Die Borussen were prolific in attack, netting 68 goals in the Bundesliga. Given both teams’ attacking capabilities, we think it will be a productive match, with the match likely to feature at least three goals.
