Team news and form

Borussia Dortmund are the only Bundesliga side with a perfect start to the season. Niko Kovac’s team have won all four of their games, and the most impressive was a 1-0 win away at Stuttgart last time out. Serhou Guirassy and Fabio Silva both have two goals, and Guirassy has also provided two assists. Dortmund have conceded just twice and kept three clean sheets in their four matches. Their total of nine goals scored is the lowest of the current top six, so the defence has done much of the work. Nico Schlotterbeck rolled his ankle in training on Germany duty and damaged a ligament, which more than likely rules him out. Gadou should start alongside Anton and Bensebaini.

Werder Bremen entered the international break in good form, with seven points from the last nine available to them. After a 4-1 defeat to Freiburg, they beat RB Leipzig and Augsburg and took a point away at FC Cologne. Both of those wins came at home, so a result on the road would show how far this team has come. Cedric Itten, Senne Lynen and Moussa Ndiaye are doubts for the trip. Felix Agu, Jens Stage and Justin Njinmah are already ruled out.

Dortmund are unbeaten in the last five meetings with three wins and two draws, and have won 60 percent of their Bundesliga meetings with Bremen overall. They won both games against Bremen last season without conceding, 3-0 at Signal Iduna Park in January and 2-0 at the Weserstadion in May, when Guirassy scored the opening goal. Bremen failed to score in three of the five meetings.

Why we’re backing it

Dortmund at home should control most of this game. They have won four from four, kept three clean sheets and conceded only twice, which gives them a solid base. Bremen will need to hold their shape and use the counter-attack, but they will have their hands full against a Dortmund frontline in which Guirassy stands out. He has two goals and two assists already, and it is hard not to see him having a big part to play.

Goals are also likely. Four of Dortmund’s last six matches and 67 percent of Bremen’s recent outings have produced over 2.5 goals. Bremen have won three of their six games and should have a chance of scoring on the counter, particularly with Schlotterbeck likely to be missing from the Dortmund defence. The quality of the home side should still be enough to win over 90 minutes, which makes Dortmund to win with Guirassy to score anytime our pick, and a 2-1 scoreline our prediction.
