Borussia Dortmund vs Werder Bremen Preview

Borussia Dortmund are flying high in the Bundesliga this season and they wouldn’t  mind winning the league and cup double.

This game offers them the chance to make progress in the German Cup and they will be drawing on their home support to see them through this game.

They have beaten Bremen before this season when a goal apiece from Marco Reus and Paco Alcacer helped them to a 2-1 win.

Werder Bremen are currently mid table in the German league and they will be looking to end the season in a European place.

They would also fancy a run in the Cup and a win here would boost their confidence that they can beat all comers for this trophy.

The visitors come into this game on a run of just one win, three draws, and two losses from their last 6 matches.

Dortmund on the other hand, have a 7 points lead at the top of the Bundesliga table and have lost just one of their last nine games in all competitions.

Their manager should be optimistic that he can win the league at this stage, but they will also be looking to win another German Cup.

Bookmakers have priced Dortmund up as strong odds-on favourites to come out on top in this DFB Pokal match.

Goal markets point to an exciting match as over 2.5 goals is trading strongly odds-on.

Marco Reus and Paco Alcacer are joint favourites to score the opening goal of the game.

This game gets underway at 19:45 BST.
