Bundesliga Preview: Start of a new era as Borussia Dortmund travel to Werder Bremen

Borussia Dortmund begin the post-Lucien Favre era with a tough away game against Werder Bremen on Tuesday.

Borussia Dortmund parted ways with head coach Lucien Favre on Sunday after another disappointing performance at the weekend which that saw them get embarrassed 5-1 against Stuttgart. Dortmund are in a bad run of form, with only one win in their last five games. And they will be looking to buck this trend on Tuesday, with Edin Terzic set to take charge of his first game as caretaker head coach.

The good news for Borussia Dortmund is that Werder Bremen are one of the few teams going through a worse run of form than them. Bremen have suffered defeats to some pretty solid teams in Bayern, Leipzig, Wolfsburg and Stuttgart in recent weeks. But Bremen have a strong record against Dortmund, especially at home, so they will have a sense of optimism heading into this one.

Borussia Dortmund have been in poor form over the last few weeks, which is ultimately the reason Lucien Favre was sacked. The problem is not only the results, but the performances, which have been very uninspiring. While Borussia Dortmund are missing Erling Haaland, which is a massive blow, that isn’t an excuse for the team to completely crumble offensively and defensively.
