Players to Watch
Jude Bellingham is enjoying an excellent debut season at Borussia Dortmund and will be looking to continue his fine form this weekend. The 17 year old scored his maiden Bundesliga goal last weekend against Stuttgart. He then followed that up by scoring against Manchester City on Wednesday. And he will certainly have a crucial role to play if BVB are to get all three points on Sunday.
Marco Reus also scored last weekend, and Werder Bremen are statistically his favourite opponents. The Borussia Dortmund captain has 15 goals and eight assists to his name in just 20 appearances against the Green-Whites. He has also netted in each of his last five league games against Florian Kohfeldt’s side.
Josh Sargent is Werder Bremen’s leading goalscorer this season, with seven goals to his name. The USMNT striker could pose a threat to the Borussia Dortmund defence. Also key will be midfielder Kevin Möhwald, who has two goals in three league appearances against the Black and Yellows.
