Bremen were unable to produce the desired performance on the pitch last weekend and lost away to TSG Hoffenheim. Despite being outnumbered from the 73rd minute onwards, they were unable to take their chances and thus faced their first away defeat since matchday 13.
Borussia did their job in the capital and picked up their next three points away against Union with a commanding 2-0 win. The expected tough match against a defensively well-prepared Köpenick team was tackled according to Dortmund’s own ideas, allowing them to secure a place in the Champions League places

Bremen Form & Balance Check
After a weaker first half of the season, Bremen have been able to rally well and have played a very good second half of the season since the winter break. This is also confirmed by the table for the second half of the season, in which they are currently in fourth place. In the last ten games, they have only lost twice, drawn four and won four.
The form curve is therefore pointing upwards and the team around Ole Werner can even dream of the European places. The defeat against direct rivals Hoffenheim was a damper for Bremen, but will not prevent them from trying to upset Dortmund
Bremer’s proliferation of chances
Ole Werner was also disappointed after the game in Sinsheim and once again emphasized Bremen’s meagre exploitation of chances in the match. The numbers proved him right. Bremen shot at Hoffenheim’s goal a total of 18 times without really being dangerous and without converting these chances into points. If they want to take something home against Borussia, they will have to try to become even more efficient in finishing
Bremen facts & analysis
- 4th place in the second round table
- 18 points from twelve home games
- Last game lost
Dortmund Form & Balance Check
Borussia’s season has been solid so far, but there have been occasional lapses, such as the home defeat to Hoffenheim on the penultimate matchday, which meant they were never able to build up a real run and almost lost touch with the top.
Nevertheless, Dortmund have a good record in their last ten games. They lost only once, drew four times and took the three points five times. The aim is to regain consistency in the game in order to come away victorious in Bremen as well
Away strength
Borussia Dortmund is a serious opponent this season, especially away from home. With 21 points, 24 goals scored in twelve games and the second-best goal difference in the league, they are always able to provide pinpricks in foreign stadiums.
Niclas Füllkrug is a special factor in this attacking game. With eleven goals, he is Borussia’s top scorer and will face his former employer Werder Bremen. He will show on the pitch to what extent this gives him extra motivation
BVB facts & analysis
- 3rd place in the second round table
- 21 points from twelve away games
- Won last game
Bremen are only expected to make one change from the previous game. Justin Njinmah, who struggled with a hip problem last weekend, will come back into the starting eleven for Nick Woltemade. Ole Werner will also be without Olivier Deman, who is suspended with a yellow card.
Dortmund will probably field the same team that did well in Berlin. It is still unclear if and when Gregor Kobel will be fit enough to keep goal again
