The 2-1 away defeat to 1899 Hoffenheim will not have sat easily with the Werder Bremen squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 53%, while racking up 18 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to 1899 Hoffenheim, who had 14 shots on goal with 7 on target.  

They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points.  Their goal scoring streak now stands at 11 games in a row, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.  

It's been a mixed run of form at Weserstadion for Werder recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 home games.

Having secured a 2-0 away win against Union Berlin in their latest league match, Borussia Dortmund will have a positive feeling ahead of this match.  They achieved 61% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Union Berlin's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.  

It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 11 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 5 goals shipped and valuable points dropped.  They've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 away games, and they've scored in 22 of their 24 games overall this season.  

Their unbeaten run away from home now sits at 7 games in a row.  

On an individual basis, Niklas Füllkrug will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Borussia Dortmund's last 6 league games.
