Werder Bremen – Borussia Dortmund – Two different goal of the season with Werder and Borussia. As was the case in previous seasons, the team from Bremen is struggling and only occasionally shine so accordingly again very close to the relegation zone, which is only three points ahead of this round. Tim Dortmund also had a good first half of the season from your point of view, because they wanted to be right behind Bayern, but are now as many as 12 points lower, and it is clear that there is nothing out of the title race, but they are left to try to get hold of leading into the Champions League.

They are still active in the competition this season and are hoping to be surprised, and there is a Cup. The previous three duels of these rivals are Borussia lit, and it is interesting that in each other’s priority duels have 40 wins.

Werder Bremen

And Werder is one of the teams that are the first part of the season generally played poorly, or at least to finish this part of the game a little better, and therefore are now in a series of five matches without defeat, not counting friendly match in preparation for the season, where they shone . Only in the championship for two months without a loss, because it is the last beat Eintracht in late November, and since then have three draws and two wins. They won Ingolstadt in the derby of the rear wall at home, and then Hertha Berlin, which was their only visiting triumph in the first part of the championship, and it is interesting that for Hertha this was the only defeat.

The place still twice drew with Cologne at home and away to Hoffenheim, both times 1: 1. It is interesting to note that the tour in Berlin was the only one in which not conceded a goal so far and the total receive more than two goals per game. Twice they had a series of four straight defeats, but in the meantime they hired midfielder Delaney from Copenhagen, while the left stopper Diagne and striker Thy. Injured are Junuzovic, Bargfrede and Grillitsch and Hajrović for which the season is over.

Probable lineups Werder: Drobny – Ro.Bauer, L.SANE, Moisander, S.Garcia – Delaney, Fritz – Bartels, Gnabry – Pizarro, M.KRUSE

Borussia Dortmund

Too much is at stake oscillation Borussia in the first part of the season and as a result of this came and placement only in sixth place, which is of course for the team of this quality is very bad achievement. I can not forget the race for the title with Bayern, but very difficult to reach even the second place, because Leipzig escapes big nine points. The reality is that in the end may be the third and this is certainly the first goal, with of course attempt winning the Cup, and the best result in the Champions League, where they reached the knockout stages. Just finish the first part of the season marked the farewell of the fight for the title, because the imported three draws and this against a team of which are objectively much better.

Subsequently, after a point against Borussia won Cologne, Hoffenheim and Augsburg and then to Dortmund. When we add to the draw against Real Madrid in the Champions League, that with four straight draws and now they want to stop winning. They looked good in warm-up matches and did not bring reinforcements, while striker Ramos at the front door. The problem now is that Aubameyang the African Nations Cup, goalkeeper Burki is still injured, but Dembele is recovering and is likely to be on the bench.

Probable lineups Borussia Dortmund: Weidenfeller – Piszczek, Sokratis, Ginter, Schmelzer – Weigl – M.GÖTZE, Castro, Kagawa, Reus – Schurrle

Werder Bremen – Borussia Dortmund TIP

The question is whether Werder continues to play well as towards the end of the first part, but it is also a question and whether Borussia finally totally fritter? What still seems the most likely when they meet these rivals is that it should be a lot of goals, as indeed required by the tradition, but also what they have so far showed pve season.
