02:30 on January 14, 2026 - Bundesliga Round

Borussia Dortmund currently sits in second place in the league table with 33 points after 16 rounds. The Ruhr-based team has shown great consistency with 9 wins, 6 draws, and only 1 loss since the start of the season. Notably, Signal Iduna Park remains an impenetrable fortress, with Dortmund yet to suffer a defeat at home (5 wins, 2 draws).

Dortmund and their overwhelming attacking power.

Dortmund's style of play this season is based on consistent attacking performance, averaging 1.8 goals per game. In their last five matches, the team has secured three wins and two draws. Their defense is also performing quite effectively, conceding an average of only 0.9 goals per game, creating a solid foundation for the attacking players.

Werder Bremen and the defensive dilemma.

In contrast to their opponent's stability, Werder Bremen is going through a difficult period, currently sitting in 12th place with 17 points. Their form in the last five matches has been poor, with three losses and two draws. Bremen's biggest weakness lies in their defense, having conceded 28 goals (an average of 1.9 goals per game). On the road, Bremen has only managed one win in their last eight away matches.

History of confrontations and current team situation.

The head-to-head history heavily favors the yellow and black team. In the last five encounters, Borussia Dortmund have won three and drawn two. The most recent match in January 2025 ended in a 2-2 draw, showing that Bremen can sometimes spring surprises if Dortmund are complacent.

In terms of personnel, Borussia Dortmund will be without key defender N. Schlotterbeck due to a patellar tendon injury. Meanwhile, Werder Bremen currently has no new injury reports and can field their strongest available team to face the pressure from the "Yellow Wall".

Predict the result

Based on statistics, Borussia Dortmund is considered superior with a predicted win rate of up to 50%, while Werder Bremen's chances of winning are almost zero according to expert analysis. A draw has a 50% chance of occurring if the away team establishes a resilient defensive system.

Given the difference in skill level and home advantage, this is expected to be a match where Dortmund will completely control the game. The home team's attack is predicted to score more than 3 goals against an opponent like Werder Bremen, who often leave gaps in their defense.
