Werder Bremen vs Dortmund Prediction & Betting tips
Borussia Dortmund will play against Werder Bremen in this midweek round. There is currently no good mood in either team. Can one of the two teams cheer themselves up with a win?
Werder Bremen:
Top form is currently hard to find at Werder Bremen. The North Germans got eleven points from the first eleven match days, which puts them just above the relegation zone. The points were mainly achieved in the first weeks of this season. The last eight games did not yield a single win, although there were five draws in that series. Last Saturday, the green and white played a hopeless match against RB Leipzig. The team of trainer Florian Kohfeldt seemed to do mainly to limit the damage. This worked reasonably well, with a 2-0 loss, but Werder actually created nothing at all.
Kohfeldt discussed his team’s position in the rankings at Monday’s press conference. “There is a large middle group,” said Die Hanseaten’s coach. “We know from the start of the season that we have to be vigilant, and that there will be phases like the current ones,” the Werder coach remained calm. Still, it would be reassuring for the fans if their team managed to grab a few more points before the winter break. On Saturday, Bremen will play its last league match of 2020, visiting FSV Mainz 05.
Borussia Dortmund:
Borussia Dortmund is currently in crisis. There had been dissatisfaction with trainer Lucien Favre for some time, who just failed to make Dortmund really perform consistently. Too often the yellow-blacks under his leadership dropped points, in matches against average opponents. The immediate reason for Favre’s dismissal was the large 1-5 home defeat that Dortmund suffered last Saturday against VfB Stuttgart in their own stadium. Der BVB is six points behind leader Bayer Leverkusen.
Favre’s replacement is former assistant coach Edin Terzic, who has been appointed by the club management until the end of the season. “We got to know Edin as a true professional,” technical manager Michael Zorc was positive about the new coach. Terzic himself announced that he wanted to play attacking football with Dortmund. “You can win a game in two ways,” said Terzic. ‘You can take a goal less than the opponent. However, I am in favor of scoring one more goal. ‘ In the production of goals, Terzic can not count on top scorer Erling Haaland, who is injured and only returns after the winter break.
