Borussia Dortmund vs Werder Bremen Prediction After Confirmed Lineups
Borussia Dortmund come into this fixture in strong domestic form having won their last six Bundesliga matches, and their historical dominance over Werder Bremen reinforces their status as favourites. With Serhou Guirassy leading the line and creative support from Ethan Nwaneri and Maximilian Beier, the hosts should create enough clear-cut opportunities to prevail despite Werder Bremen carrying a genuine goal threat through former Dortmund striker Niclas Füllkrug.
