ℹ️ Team News: Werder Bremen

There aren’t many selection issues, with just a single fitness concern for the Werder Bremen manager Ole Werner to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength group. Amos Pieper (Muscle injury) misses out.

It seems likely that Werder look set to use the 3-4-2-1 system for the game, beginning the first half with Michael Zetterer, Milos Veljkovic, Marco Friedl, Anthony Jung, Mitchell Weiser, Felix Agu, Senne Lynen, Jens Stage, Romano Schmid, Justin Njinmah and Marvin Ducksch.

📰 Team News: Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund manager Nuri Şahin has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Yan Couto (Knock) and Serhou Guirassy (Knee injury) miss out here.

We believe Dortmund seem likely to begin the game with a 3-4-3 system, choosing Gregor Kobel, Waldemar Anton, Niklas Suele, Nico Schlotterbeck, Julian Ryerson, Emre Can, Pascal Gross, Jamie Gittens, Marcel Sabitzer, Maximilian Beier and Karim Adeyemi.

🧠 Prediction

In our opinion, Werder Bremen should be able to put one past this Borussia Dortmund team, although one goal probably won’t quite be enough.

We therefore reckon that it will be a narrow 1-2 winning score for Borussia Dortmund at the end of this one. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
