Thioune’s pragmatic Bremen can keep it close
Werder Bremen have failed to win in their last two home games against Dortmund, but they’ve conceded just 29 goals in 16 Bundesliga home matches at an average of 1.81 per-game.
Jens Stage leads the scoring for Bremen this Bundesliga season with 10 goals in 28 appearances and the Dane has netted three goals across Werder’s last five games.
Daniel Thioune has been in charge since February 2026 and has utilised a variety of different formations and a pragmatic style that focuses on results and survival in the relegation battles.
BVB are a more structured outfit under Niko Kovač, who has played a rigid 3-4-2-1 with high-intensity, counterpressing since taking over in February 2025. Kovač’s side are deadly in transition and use their wing-backs to get numbers forward in a high-tempo game.
This match could well be end-to-end with Dortmund’s intensity and wing-backs likely to stretch the home side, while Thioune’s side like to play direct, vertical passes when they can. That’s why the SV Werder Bremen vs Borussia Dortmund prediction leans toward a high-scoring encounter.
Dortmund’s away form is impressive with just three losses in 16 games, so they are favored to take the win on Saturday but both sides will likely get on the scoresheet in a game where Dortmund are likely to be the better side. Serhou Guirassy leads the line for BVB with 16 goals in 32 Bundesliga appearances, and he has scored three goals in Dortmund’s last five.
