Preview

Match preview

Borussia Dortmund welcome Werder Bremen to Signal Iduna Park sitting at the top of the Bundesliga table with a perfect record of four wins from four matches. The hosts have demonstrated strong defensive stability on their own pitch, scoring five goals without conceding across two home outings.

Werder Bremen arrive in eighth position with seven points from four fixtures. While they have displayed offensive potency with eight goals scored overall, their away form has been vulnerable, registering one draw and one defeat on the road with five goals conceded.

Head-to-head encounters heavily favor Dortmund, who have won seven of the previous ten meetings between the sides, including 2-0 and 3-0 victories in 2026. With Werder Bremen dealing with a substantial injury list that includes several defensive and midfield regulars, Dortmund hold a clear advantage going into this contest.
