Borussia Dortmund v Werder Bremen

Borussia Dortmund vs Werder Bremen Preview

The German Bundesliga action resumes on Friday night after the international break and features this upcoming tussle between Borussia Dortmund and Werder Bremen when the two teams lock horns at the SIGNAL IDUNA PARK with fourth placed Dortmund looking to pick up where they left off before the break, while Werder Bremen will be desperate to avoid a third league defeat on the trot.

Borussia Dortmund have climbed up into fourth spot in the Bundesliga standings following four wins on the trot which have seen Edin Terzic's side collect important wins against Freiburg, Wolfsburg, Hoffenheim and Union Berlin and having still avoided defeat so far in their opening seven games of this new campaign, the hosts look in good shape to add to their points tally here.

There are therefore plenty of reasons why Borussia Dortmund will be in confident mood ahead of Friday night's clash as the hosts are now unbeaten in their last 15 matches overall in the German top flight, picking up 10 wins in the process and they will be keen to assert their authority over a lacklustre looking Werder Bremen outfit.

Dortmund are also unbeaten in each of their last 19 home games in the Bundesliga as well.

Werder Bremen have dropped down the Bundesliga table to a worrying 14th place in the standings and the visitors find themselves sitting just two league places and two points above the relegation play-off spot prior to this Friday night's daunting trip to SIGNAL IDUNA PARK.

Werder Bremen headed into the international break on the back of two defeats on the trot which saw them slump to defeats at the hands of Darmstadt and Hoffenheim while the bigger picture suggests this upcoming clash on Friday night could end in further disappointment for Ole Werner's side.

The visitors have managed to capture just two wins from their opening seven matches of this new Bundesliga campaign which were both achieved on home soil at their wohninvest WESERSTADION in the shape of victories against Mainz and FC Cologne who both happen to sit bottom and second from bottom in the German top flight table.

However, these have been Werder Bremen's only highlights from their previous 12 league matches and having also slumped to nine defeats within this poor sequence of results, the visitors look to have a mountain to climb on Friday night.

Borussia Dortmund v Werder Bremen Verdict

Borussia Dortmund's recent winning momentum should stand the hosts in good stead here on Friday night as they look to pick up where they left off just before the international break and anything other than a home win for Dortmund would be something of a surprise considering Werder Bremen's poor recent form.
