Werder Bremen vs Dortmund prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2023-02-10 14:30.
After winning promotion back to the Bundesliga last season, Werder Bremen remain in contention for European qualification after beating Stuttgart 2-0 last weekend to make it two league wins and two defeats since the World Cup. “We managed to score our goals at the right moments,” reflected centre-forward Marvin Ducksch after he completed the scoring with their 13th Bundesliga goal this term to arrive after the 75th minute.
Bremen will need more goals against Borussia Dortmund as they haven’t kept a clean sheet at home in the league since late October (W2, L2) or won a home league H2H since December 2014 (D2, L4). The last time they kept a clean sheet here against their visitors was actually back in May 2011, so you could forgive Bremen fans for not having high expectations going into this fixture.
Title-contenders Dortmund made it four wins from four in 2023 as they beat Freiburg 5-1 on Sunday with the biggest cheer of all reserved for SĂ©bastien Haller when he scored his first goal for the club soon after returning from testicular cancer treatment. There was another admittedly less poignant highlight when Karim Adeyemi became the fastest Bundesliga player ever recorded in-game, reaching a top speed of 22.77mph!
At least Bremen won’t have to worry about keeping up with him as he’s suspended here but Dortmund still carry plenty of threats – fast-paced or otherwise – having won both league away games since the World Cup. Still to draw a Bundesliga road fixture this term (W5, L5) their all-or-nothing approach away from home suggests this could be another goal-filled away day for BVB.
Players to watch: Bremen will be happy if Dortmund academy graduate Ducksch can score again as they’ve won all four of his Bundesliga goalscoring appearances this term. Meanwhile, Gio Reyna could continue the trend of late goals in Bremen games as he’s netted after the 75th minute in three of Dortmund’s last four matches.
Hot stat: There’s been just one goalless half across the last seven H2Hs (Dortmund: W3, D2, L2).
