In their last three outings, Borussia Dortmund won 3-2 against Villarreal, beat Paderborn by 3-0 and hammered VfB Stuttgart 0-1. Borussia Dortmund won five of their last six Bundesliga matches at Signal Iduna Park, scoring 15 and conceding five along the way. They lost once but didn't draw a single match.
Werder Bremen Form
In their last three matches, Werder Bremen beat RB Leipzig 3-1, drew 1-1 with FC Koln and beat Augsburg by 3-2. Werder Bremen claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Bundesliga. They also drew two and were defeated three times, as they were outscored by ten goals to five.
Borussia Dortmund are far too strong to let a home win slip against Werder Bremen, but at the same time, we don't expect the visitors to get over-run. This makes us target the home win in a match with less than three goals.
