SV Werder Bremen vs Dortmund Match Preview

Werder Bremen faces Dortmund for the 12 round of the German Bundesliga.

In the previous round, Werder Bremen suffered a 2-0 defeat against Leipzig after a  mediocre performance. Leipzig played very offensively and they failed to hold the pressure of their opponents, conceding 2 early goals in the first half. The hosts controled the game and easily kept their lead till the final whistle.

This was the 3rd consecutive defeat in the league for Werder Bremen, who remain winless for 8 consecutive matches, and now they are placed 13th in the league with a total of 11 points.

Dortmund, on the other hand, comes from their biggest defeat in the season, losing 5-1 to Stuttgart last Saturday. They tried to get back in the game by equalizing before halftime, but Stuttgart dominated in the pitch scoring 4 more goals in the second half, leaving no chances to Dortmund to get something positive out of this match.

After this result, Lucien Favre was sacked and his assistant Edin Terzić will stay in Dortmund's bench for the rest of the season. The visitors remain winless for 3 consecutive matches in the league, and as a result, they are placed at 5th spot with 19 points after 11 rounds played. 

The hosts will try to get back to winning ways, aiming for three valuable points here trying to remain out of the relegation zone. Dortmund is also in a very bad situation, but this change on their bench might bring the motivation that their players need. Werder Bremen and Dortmund will go head to head for the three-pointer and this might bring us an exciting match with many goal-scoring chances. Over 2.5 goals to be scored is my call, offered at 1.64 odds with Novibet.
