Werder Bremen vs Dortmund Prediction & Betting tips
Erling Haaland currently seems to be overriding all laws. The 19-year-old winter new signing from BVB has set a Bundesliga record. Never before has a player managed to score seven goals in his first three games in the German House of Lords.
Now the question arises whether the super talent can also break the laws in the cup, which are known to be different. This will be shown for the first time on Tuesday. Then Haaland meets SV Werder Bremen with his black and yellow. The group from the north are currently very worried and have lost six of the last seven games in the league.
It can be discussed whether the DFB Cup is a welcome change or an additional burden. In any case, the green-whites have the chance to gain new self-confidence for the relegation battle as outsiders. Between Bremen and Dortmund, the odds for a bet on the outcome of the game are clearly distributed by the bookmakers in favor of the guests.
With bets on Florian Kohfeldt’s team, the stake can be increased more than fivefold, which clearly shows the starting position for this round of 16. On Tuesday evening at 19:45 p.m. the ball rolls in the Weser Stadium and after 90 or 120 minutes it is clear who will be among the top eight clubs in the cup.
Werder Bremen:
“We have to keep calm.” This sentence is heard almost every week by coach Florian Kohfeldt after his team’s games. But the patience of the Werder fans, which is above average in professional football, seems to be slowly but surely exhausted. Parts of the appendix whistled their players on Saturday after the encounter in Augsburg.
The 1-2 in Fuggerstadt was another severe setback for the green-whites in the relegation battle. A direct competitor escaped and the defeat was the sixth of the last seven games. Even the last minute newcomer Davie Selke, who was involved in the 1-0, could not stop the negative run.
16th place in the table and a trend that continues to point downwards are of great concern in the north of the republic. In the cup there is now a chance to leave everyday life in the league a little behind and to gain new confidence for the upcoming important task against Union Berlin. Bremen can play against Dortmund, this prediction can be dared, relatively liberated and easy.
In this duel, the hosts are the blatant underdog and don’t really have much to lose. Perhaps it is precisely this starting point that makes the game so exciting. Personally, the question arises whether coach Kohfeldt will spare some players for the weekend or whether he will put his first team on the pitch.
The coach is an avowed fan of the DFB Cup and doesn’t really want to send his second guard onto the pitch. It can therefore be assumed that the SVW will approach the task against the black and yellow with 100% focus.
In contrast to the weekend, the line-up will not change much. It would be possible for Fin Bartels, who made his comeback after a long injury, to appear from the start. The 17-year-old Woltemade could slip onto the bench for this. Friedl would also be an option for the headquarters and could replace Sahin.
Dortmund:
BVB is all about youngster Erling Haaland. No wonder, after all, the Norwegian has scored seven times in his first three Bundesliga games – even though he has only been substituted twice.
This impressive goal rate testifies on the one hand to the class and carefree nature of the attacker, and on the other hand to the offensive quality of his teammates, who always put him in the spotlight. In all three Bundesliga games in 2020 so far, Borussia Dortmund has scored five goals.
Lucien Favre’s protégés travel to the Weser with a broad chest and want to book the ticket for the DFB Cup quarter-finals. After the gala appearance against Union Berlin at the weekend, there is actually no reason to make any major changes to the starting line-up.
As long as the Swiss coach does not have the impression that one or the other of his protégés currently needs a breather, BVB will be back with all its superstars. In the strong collective, Jadon Sancho must currently be highlighted. The winger broke a more than 50 year old record in the Bundesliga by Horst Köppel.
Back in 1968, he scored 24 goals in the German upper house before his 20th birthday. Sancho is the first player to break through this mark since the weekend. The current form is impressive and with 16 scorer points from the past nine games he underlines his importance for the team every week.
Between Bremen and Dortmund, a tip on the odds of the away win is very likely to be successful if the guests can build on their last performance.
