Borussia Dortmund hosts Werder Bremen at Signal Iduna Park this Tuesday in the Bundesliga.
The hosts, positioned second with 33 points, aim to sustain their strong home record, whereas the away side languish in the bottom half of the table, having earned only 17 points from their opening 15 outings.
Under Niko Kovač, Dortmund have shown remarkable defensive resilience throughout the campaign, shipping just 15 goals in 15 Bundesliga fixtures; fewer than any side except Bayern Munich. They’ve registered eight clean sheets so far, equalling the club’s best mark at this stage alongside the championship-winning squads of 1994/95 and 2001/02. Their latest result was a thrilling 3-3 draw versus Frankfurt.
Borussia Dortmund team news
The Black and Yellows have very few fitness concerns, limited to centre-back Aarón Anselmino’s ongoing muscle problem. Players like Waldemar Anton, the experienced Emre Can, and defender Nico Schlotterbeck are all fit and ready to feature.
Serhou Guirassy remains the focal point of Dortmund’s potent front line as the 29-year-old Guinean forward. He has notched five goals across 15 Bundesliga games this term.
Expect Karim Adeyemi and Julian Brandt to support Guirassy up top, alongside Marcel Sabitzer and Felix Nmecha anchoring midfield duties. Niko Kovač boasts a perfect home record in the Bundesliga, with five victories and two stalemates under his watch.
