Werder Bremen vs Dortmund Prediction & Betting Tips (9 March)

Not really expected to get involved in the fight for European places, Werder Bremen could still have a say in this race during the final sprint since it is in 8th position in the ranking, 3 points from 7th. potentially qualifying place for the Conference League. On the other hand, Ole Werner's players have lacked a little consistency in recent weeks. Because after having won a narrow success against Cologne 0-1, the Werderaner had to share the points with the red lantern Darmstadt 1-1 then they lost, last week, on the field of Hoffenheim 2-1. For its part , Borussia Dortmund is fighting to ensure the union minimum in this championship.

Unable to be able to join the wagon of teams capable of competing for the title, the BVB must on the contrary roll up its sleeves to maintain its place in the top 4 qualifying for the next Champions League. Lacking consistency lately, Edin Terzic's players were held by Wolfsburg 1-1 before losing at home against Hoffenheim 2-3. But last weekend, they bounced back rather well by winning at Union Berlin 0-2 to maintain a one-point lead over their first pursuer, Leipzig. Next week, Dortmund will face PSV Eindhoven again in the 1/8th final second leg of the Champions League after drawing the first leg 1-1.

On the Werder side, Serbian defender Veljkovic and the important Stark are back. On the other hand, this is not the case for the young Opitz and the not always starting defender Pieper will not be available to face the BVB, nor will the unused Hansen-Aaroen. Midfielder Deman is suspended this weekend.

Still in the recovery phase since his return from the CAN, midfielder Naby Keïta was on the bench last week but he did not come into play unlike midfielder loaned by Lyon Alvero who scored his first goal in the local jersey . Offensively, the formidable striker Ducksch (9 goals) and the young Njinmah (5 goals) remain the Werderaner's best assets.
