Expert Soccer Pick Prediction for Borussia Dortmund vs Werder Bremen

Dortmund won their last four matches in a row with a 12-5 aggregate. Most recently, they defeated Union Berlin 4-2, one of the four Bundesliga teams playing in the UEFA Champions League.

Niclas Fullkrug scored the second goal of that last match. Forget about Sebastien Haller. Fullkrug is now in charge of the attacking unit alongside Marco Reus and Donyell Malen, who have scored three goals each.

Dortmund is one of the top-scoring teams in the league, averaging 2.2 goals per game. They scored at least three goals in their last two matches, making the team’s total for Friday – set at 2½ goals – a good option to include in your betting online ticket.

Werder Bremen Always Puts Up a Good Fight

Yes, Werder Bremen is closer to the relegation zone than the top 10, but the team always puts up a good fight. Regardless of the result, they scored at least two goals in their last five matches.

Before the international break, they lost 3-2 to Hoffenheim. They had one point in the pocket, but Marius Bulter scored the winner in stoppage time. Romano Schmid and Jens Stage scored for Bremen.

Stage is the team’s top scorer, alongside Marvin Ducksch, with two goals each. Werder Bremen is trying to figure out life without Fullkrug. That’s right, Borussia Dortmund’s centre-striker used to play for Bremen. For Friday’s clash, Marvin Ducksch is the best Bundesliga betting pick for anytime goalscorer.

Bremen will be without Niklas Stark, Amos Pieper, Jiri Pavlenka, and Naby Keita. However, Christian Grob will return to action after missing some games due to illness.

Head coach Ole Werner is aware that defeating Dortmund won’t be easy, but hey, PSG already did it, and PSG is having a terrible start to the season.

Ole Werner on the opposition:

“Every opponent provides you with areas you can exploit, which will also be the case against Dortmund. They’re a team with lots of experience and quality. It is difficult to identify weaknesses in their defence.”#werder #bvbsvw pic.twitter.com/51IgzATiRT

Werder Bremen Won Last Meeting in Dortmund

Here’s another reason for Borussia Dortmund to be heavily favored in the Bundesliga odds. The team won five of the last 10 meetings with Werder Bremen. However, Bremen won the last encounter at Signal Iduna Park in one of the craziest endings in recent times. Dortmund was up 2-0 until the 89th minute when Lee Buchanan scored the first for Bremen. Later, the Green and Whites scored twice in stoppage time.

These two haven’t drawn 0-0 since the 2000-01 season, and both scored in eight of their last 10 meetings.
