Consolidating their Champions League spot will be top of the agenda when Borussia Dortmund travel to Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga. Ahead of this game, Dortmund sit fourth, four places ahead of Werder Bremen, another side with hopes for Europe. Werder Bremen have banked 30 points, placing them seven below the top six. Picking just one point from their last two matches has hampered this target and Werder Bremen will hope to put things in order now. Despite facing a team with 10 men in the final 17 minutes, they lost 2-1 to Hoffenheim last time out. Skelly Alvero’s stoppage time goal in that game was in the end a mere consolation, having trailed 2-0 at half time. That result left Werder Bremen with just a win in their last four matches. They haven't managed more than a goal in their last five matches and generally their matches have been low-scoring. Six of Werder Bremen’s last 10 league games had under 2.5 goals. No team has scored fewer than Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga top eight as of now.

Borussia Dortmund bounced back from their shock home loss to Hoffenheim by beating Union Berlin away. Their top four ambitions are well on track but threatened, being just a point ahead of fifth placed Leipzig. This will be enough motivation for the visitors to want three points from this game. Normally high-scorers, Dortmund have struggled a bit in front of goal this season. They have 48 goals so far, the lowest tally across the top five. However, there is a reason for them to stay positive coming into this game – head-to-head records. In the last six matches against Werder Bremen, Dortmund have five wins. This run includes the two wins in their last two meetings. They beat Werder Bremen 1-0 in the reverse fixture in October. Karim Adeyemi and Ian Maatsen scored the goals in the last game as Dortmund thumped Union Berlin 2-0 to stay fourth. A second straight away win will be their target here and they will be confident of getting three points. Dortmund’s run in the last seven away matches reads undefeated. They however won just three of those, all coming inside the last five. All their last three away league matches returned under 2.5 goals.
