[Football- Germany 'Bundesliga'] 31.8/ 15:30 Werder Bremen- Borussia Dortmund
2nd round of the Bundesliga. The hosts traveled away to Augsburg were they were held to a 2-2 draw in their last game in an evenly fought contest, a draw felt fair.
The visitors comes from a strong and dominant 2-0 win against an usually tough side to beat, Eintracht Frankfurt at home. Dortmund really dominated the game and are looking very good under their new coach Nuri Sahin, they had 67% ball possession and 17 shots while keeping a clean sheet aswell, still early days but a very promising start.
Dortmund have won 4 out of their last 5 meetings against Werder Bremen and are in superb form aswell, winning 4 out of their last 5 games (all competitions included). Scoring wise they’re looking good aswell, 13 goals in their last 5 games.
I expect Werder Bremen to have less possession of the ball and focus on the transition play where they can hurt Dortmund. But letting Dortmund have too much possession can also be dangerous as they showed against Frankfurt, a lot of shots outside the penalty area and a lot of chances created. Dortmund are the much better team on paper and needs to win these type of games to fight for the league title this season, which is always the goal for a top team like Dortmund.
I expect a hard fought win for the visitors, playing away is always difficult and breaking down a low block can be too. But I think they get it at the end with the quality that they have, Dortmund should be full of confidence right now and last weeks win is something they’ll try to build on.
