Borussia Dortmund vs Werder Bremen – Betting Tips and Bundesliga Preview

A very important match for the hosts who need the whole prey from this one, in order to keep the pace with RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich. The Millionaires still remember last year’s chance to win the title, and both the fans and the players know that they have what it takes to win the silverware. As for Werder, the great club with a rich tradition is not among the top sides of German football anymore. For them, staying at a safe distance from the relegation zone would be a success; therefore, not losing in Dortmund is their mission here.

Borussia led twice against Eintracht in Frankfurt, but Thomas Delaney’s own goal two minutes before the end took away two points from the Millionaires. It was the sixth game over the last 7 which saw over 2.5 goals and to be more precise fourth in the previous five with four or more scores. Dortmund is without a defeat in the latest four matches, and they are compelling at home. After beating Augsburg with 5-1 and Leverkusen 4-0. Barcelona managed to avoid a win and went home with 0-0 in the bag. Now, we will tell you one very interesting thing, and it considers Dortmund’s defence. Two goals in Frankfurt are first after three consecutive contests in which the Millionaires’ net was left intact.

Werder’s matches have similar efficiency. All of their previous six games saw over 2.5 goals, and in just one of them, both sides haven’t scored. That was the latest clash against Red Bull Leipzig, who easily rolled over Werder in Bremen with 0-3. It is the only game of the season for Die Werderaner which didn’t end with four or more goals. There isn’t too much of a philosophy when they play, as Florian Kohfeldt’s team wants to score more than they concede, and that is the only relevant game plan. Their matches are very intense, with a lot of fierce battles in the midfield, and it is no wonder to see a red card once Werder plays. Over the recent four events, we’ve seen that five times.

Team News

The most important thing for the hosts is the situation with Mats Hummels, who is questionable for this match because of a muscle injury. Nico Schulz and Marwin Hitz are also doubtful.

Werder is in deep troubles when talking about the injured players. Omer Toprak, Fin Bartels, Kevin Mohwald, Ludwig Augustinsson, and Niklas Moisander are all out for this match because of injuries. Milos Veljkovic, Yuya Osako and Sebastian Langkamp are questionable, so we might say that Werder is coming in crippled in this event.

Prediction

Over 2.5 goals are the first choice here, not only because of the recent respective games but also due to an efficient tradition of this rivalry. Do you know that latest 10 head-to-head matches finished with at least three scores? So, there is no room for doubt, we are going with this pick, even though the odds are not that high. Then again, the risk is pretty small. William Hill offers 1/3 for this betting tip.

Now, the next suggestion is riskier and more profitable. Over 1.5 goals in the first 45 minutes are utterly realistic, especially with the way these two sides play. After reviewing all the odds on the market, bet365‘s offer is looking as the best one. Odds are 9/10.
