Borussia Dortmund
Classic Borussia Dortmund story. They dominate, play well, and then collapse. It repeats every season, so they need a better mental coach on the team.
How about this for a fact – Borussia Dortmund failed to win in four Bundesliga games this season where they had comfortable leads, and also twice in the Champions League. That's six games in which they were cruising to victory, only to collapse late.
Borussia Dortmund may be unbeaten in nine games now, but four of those were draws, and they stand no chance for the title in Germany. At least they are four points ahead of third-placed RB Leipzig, who also have a game in hand.
Borussia Dortmund resumed the Bundesliga season by playing a 3-3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt last Friday, where they salvaged one point in the last moments of the stoppage time. That draw was painful and almost felt like a loss for them, because BVB were leading twice in that game and yet blew it.
The Yellow-Blacks are the team with the most draws in the Bundesliga – 6 of their 16 games so far ended in draws.
Now they have two back-to-back home games against Werder Bremen and St.Pauli, where they must collect maximum points to remain second on the table.
Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen's game with TSG Hoffenheim was postponed last weekend due to winter conditions, which I think is bad for them.
Bad because Werder Bremen have not played a competitive game for several weeks, and Borussia Dortmund played an intense last game, which puts them in proper gear.
I don’t expect much from Werder Bremen for the remainder of this season. They are terrible in defense, and their attack is the same. They have no classic strikers. Their classic striker, Viktor Boniface, has a season-ending injury, and Werder Bremen made a panic purchase by bringing the unknown Jovan Milosevic on loan from VfB Stuttgart.
But who is forward Jovan Milosevic? He barely had any impact for VfB Stuttgart, where he came from Partizan Belgrade. He scored 16 goals in 23 games for the Serbian team, but the Serbian league is a joke. Is he really a player to turn things around for Werder Bremen? Highly unlikely.
Werder Bremen sit 11th in the Bundesliga, five points above the relegation zone, and are poised to battle against relegation again. Werder Bremen is now winless in five games, losing three and drawing two.
The Betting Verdict
Borussia Dortmund will be pumped up to win this game after failing against Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend, blowing their lead twice.
Werder Bremen are not in competitive form; they are still struggling in the attacking department, and I expect them to be involved in the relegation battle until the end of this season.
Back Borussia Dortmund to win this game in combination with at least three goals scored.
