Double chance : draw or Borussia Dortmund

Werder Bremen have had a tough run lately, losing three of their last five games and only winning once. Borussia Dortmund are also in poor form, having lost four of their last five matches. Both teams are struggling to pick up results, which makes this a very evenly matched encounter.

Looking at recent meetings between these sides, their games have often been high-scoring affairs, with several matches featuring three or more goals. Given that both teams are out of form but are capable of scoring, this match looks set to be an open contest. It is difficult to separate these two, so a draw seems the most likely outcome.

  • Both sides are in poor form: Bremen have lost four of their last five, and Dortmund have lost four in a row, making consistency a concern for both.
