Statistical Match View
Borussia Dortmund are the stronger statistical side by a wide margin. The table gap is clear: Dortmund are #2 with 70 points, while Werder Bremen are #15 with 32 points. In goal terms, Werder have scored 37 and conceded 58 in 33 matches, which is roughly 1.12 goals scored and 1.76 conceded per match. Dortmund have scored 68 and conceded 34, about 2.06 scored and 1.03 conceded per match. That is the core reason for the away pick: Dortmund combine a much higher scoring rate with a far better defensive record.
Recent Form and Goal Pattern
Recent form is not perfect for Dortmund, with 2 wins and 3 losses in the last five, but they still scored 8 goals in that run. Werder’s last five show 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats, with 6 scored and 9 conceded. The direct comparison is still favorable to Dortmund: Home side recent output: 1.2 goals/match vs Away side recent output: 1.6 goals/match. Werder have failed to win four of their last five, and their defensive profile remains fragile.
Head-to-Head and Player Output
The head-to-head record also supports Dortmund. They are unbeaten in the last five meetings with Werder Bremen: 3-0, 2-2, 0-0, 2-1 and 1-0. Werder have scored only 3 goals across those five matches. Dortmund’s attack has stronger individual numbers: Sehrou Guirassy has 15G 1A, Maximilian Beier has 9G 6A, Julian Brandt has 7G 4A, and Karim Adeyemi has 7G 3A. Werder’s main threat is Jens Stage with 10G 2A, supported creatively by Romano Schmid with 1G 8A, but the overall attacking depth is lower.
Market and Total Goals
The 1x2 away price of 2.000 is fair relative to the season gap, and the handicap line of -0.5 simply requires Dortmund to win. For totals, the 3.5 line looks slightly high. Four of the last five head-to-head meetings finished under 3.5 goals, and Dortmund’s season defensive average of 1.03 conceded per match points away from a wild scoreline. The most likely statistical outcome is a controlled Dortmund win, with Werder scoring once but not matching Dortmund’s attacking quality. Predicted score: Werder Bremen 1-2 Borussia Dortmund.
- Dortmund season edge: 68 GF and 34 GA versus Werder 37 GF and 58 GA
- Head-to-head favors Dortmund: unbeaten in last five against Werder
- Guirassy, Beier, Brandt and Adeyemi give Dortmund stronger output
