Recent Form

Borussia Dortmund arrive in flawless form: W-W-W-W-W across their last five matches, meaning 5 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses. The run is backed up by both sides of the game. Dortmund score an average of 3 goals per match while conceding only 0.8. The team produces goals and gives opponents little room, which suggests the momentum is not accidental.

Werder Bremen's picture is more uneven. Their last five read L-W-D-W-L, a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Bremen score 1.6 goals per match but concede 3. That figure shows a side that can create chances yet leaves serious gaps at the back. When Dortmund's average of 3 goals scored meets Bremen's average of 3 goals conceded, the matchup leans clearly toward the hosts.

League Standings

In the 18-team Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund sit 1st with 12 points from 4 matches, meaning they have taken full points from every game played. Their goal difference of +7 shows the lead has been built on dominance on the pitch, not only on results. Werder Bremen are 8th with 7 points from 4 matches and a goal difference of 0. Because both teams have played the same number of games, the 5-point and 7-goal gaps can be compared directly: Dortmund are ahead in both results and goal balance. You can follow the full table on the Bundesliga standings page.

Goal Expectation and Key Stats

The most striking aspect of this match is the goal expectation. Dortmund matches average 3.8 goals, while Bremen matches average 4.6. Together, the two figures show that both teams are used to high-scoring games.

The Over rates tell the same story. 80% of Dortmund's matches have finished Over, and the rate is also 80% for Bremen. At the lowest goal line, Bremen's Over rate reaches 100%, meaning none of their matches has passed without goals. Even on the highest goal line, the rate is 60% for Dortmund and 80% for Bremen. These numbers point to a match with a high tempo.

On both-teams-to-score, the two sides differ. In Dortmund matches, the rate is 40%, which shows the team often keeps a clean sheet. In Bremen matches, it is 80%. Combining Bremen's tendency to concede with Dortmund's defensive solidity, a scenario where most goals come from the hosts stands out; even so, Bremen's 1.6 goals per match should not be ignored entirely.

iTahmin's "Over potential" label for this match is rated strong/playable, with a low risk level. The label rests on the average goal figures and the high Over rates. If you want to see the rest of the schedule, the fixtures page will help.

iTahmin Verdict

Read together, the data gives Borussia Dortmund the edge. They come in on a five-match winning run, sit 1st in the league with a goal difference of +7, and score 3 goals per match while conceding 0.8. Werder Bremen travel as the 8th-placed side with a goal difference of 0 and a defence that concedes 3 goals per match. This picture suggests Dortmund could take control of the game.

The goal expectation looks high. Dortmund's 3.8 and Bremen's 4.6 goals per match, combined with high Over rates on both sides, strengthen the case for a high-scoring game. On the other hand, Dortmund's both-teams-to-score rate of only 40% keeps open a scenario in which Bremen struggle to find the net. Surprises are always possible in football, so the comments above are only an expectation based on the data.
