The Bundesliga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Werder Bremen take on an impressive Borussia Dortmund side in an important encounter at the Weserstadion on Saturday.
Werder Bremen vs Borussia Dortmund Preview
Werder Bremen are currently in eighth place in the Bundesliga standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The hosts slumped to a narrow 2-1 defeat at the hands of TSG Hoffenheim in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best over the past year. The Ruhr Valley outfit eased past Union Berlin by a 2-0 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
