Werder Bremen vs Borussia Dortmund Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Bundesliga 2024-25

Will Jamie Bynoe-Gittens yet again prove to be Dortmund’s trump card?

Borussia Dortmund will look to capitalize on their good start in the Bundesliga against conservative Werder Bremen in their next outing. Nuri Sahin’s men will undoubtedly be in good spirits before this upcoming fixture courtesy of their victory against Eintracht Frankfurt at home.

Despite dominating possession, Dortmund did find it difficult to breach Bremen’s defence. It was not until late into the 2nd half that the Prussians managed to take the lead. A 71st minute stunner from Jamie Bynoe-Gittens broke the deadlock.

This was followed by another additional minute goal by Gittens. A solo run from his own half right into the opposition box, followed by a dashing finish past a flailing Kevin Trapp sealed the deal for Dortmund.

Bremen on the other hand kickstarted their Bundesliga campaign in an away game fixture against Augsburg. In spite of taking the lead early, Bremen could not hold on to it. The match which went back and forth saw the game finish in a stalemate of two goals each. Bremen will now face Dortmund in their home and as such will look to use that home advantage in their favour.

Werder Bremen ( in all competitions) W-D-L-W-D

Borussia Dortmund ( in all competitions) L-W-W-W-W

Players to watch :

Mitchell Weiser (Werder Bremen)

If Dortmund have Bynoe-Gittens, Bremen have the service of Mitchell Weiser to depend on. Weiser single-handedly dominated the last game against Augsburg. He was also the key figure behind the two goals scored by Bremen.

He provided the two crucial assists that helped Felix Agu and Justin Njinmah score those two goals. The 30-year-old showed his experience and class during the game. His passes and crosses were so accurate that it ruffled feathers in the Augsburg defence. The right wing-back surely can cause trouble with his pinpoint passing precision.

Jamie Bynoe Gittens (Borussia Dortmund)

Jamie Bynoe-Gittens proved to be a super sub in Dortmund’s last Bundesliga game. He managed to eventually break the resolute Frankfurt’s defensive barriers. The Englishman scored a brace.

Coming on as a 59th-minute sub Gittens brought in that extra edge and sharpness. The defenders found it hard to contain him. Dortmund’s first goal is a classic example of that.

Bynoe-Gittens cut in from the left-hand side and shot it hard into the top right-hand corner giving Kevin Trapp no chance to save it. The angle was difficult too, yet he made it look easy. The second one was another stunner in the additional minutes of the game as Dortmund comfortably finished with a 2-0 home win. The 20-year-old Gittens is expected to start against Bremen in their next outing and all eyes will surely be on him.
