Borussia Dortmund vs Werder Bremen Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Bundesliga 2025-26

The previous outing between these clubs ended in a 2-2 draw.

Borussia Dortmund are all set to host Werder Bremen in the matchweek 17 fixture of the 2025-26 Bundesliga. This is going to be an interesting outing, taking place at the Signal Iduna Park.

The Black and Yellow are coming in after securing a 3-3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt in their last league game. BVB scored the last-minute equaliser to secure a point.

They are currently placed second on the league table. A win in the upcoming game will surely help Borussia Dortmund close the gap on the table toppers.

Werder Bremen haven’t been able to perform well in their last few matches. They will be under pressure from the start for their next game. The Green-Whites will be away from home and are likely to struggle yet again.

They need to work on their attacking front as this has been a big problem in their last three matches. Werder are in 12th place on the Bundesliga points table at the moment.

Players to Watch

Maximilian Beier (Borussia Dortmund)

Maximilian Beier is going to be one of the main men in the attacking front for Borussia Dortmund. He is coming in after scoring a crucial goal in the previous league game. The 23-year-old will be looking to help his side once again and is surely going to create problems for the opponent’s defence.

Romano Schmid (Werder Bremen)

Romano Schmid will be looking to step up his game and help his side in the final third. He has not been in top form, but is going to be one of the important aspects for Werder Bremen in the attacking front. A top performance from Schmid can be helpful for the visitors.
