Werder Bremen is a club that has won the German Championship four times throughout its history, being the most recent title in the 2003/04 season. In the current season the team does not have much to fight for in the German Championship, as it is far from the relegation zone, but it does not have any chance of qualifying for European competitions either. The attack of Werder Bremen has been working well, since he scored goals in all the last five games that he played in his stadium for the German Championship, but in four of those games he ended up suffering goals as well. We believe that in this game Werder Bremen has everything to score again, especially in the first half, when they will look for an advantage in the scoreboard to have a little more tranquility in the second half.

Borussia Dortmund is a great club of German football, for eight times German champion. Dortmund won their last title in the 2011/12 season. The last title won by the club was the DFB Pokal of 2016/17, so the visiting team has been conquering titles at the moment. Borussia Dortmund have an interesting history when they visit Werder Bremen, since they won four of the last five games in which they visited Werder Bremen and in all these games there were more than 2.5 goals. We believe that this game has a good chance of having the score open in the first half, so, our bet suggestion will be in favor of having at least one goal in the first half.
PREDICTION: Dortmund to win @ 1.94
