Borussia Dortmund — WLLLL — 10th — Dortmund will have an almost complete squad again to play against Werder Bremen at the Signal Iduna Park. Bensebaini will be available for selection after his suspension versus Bologna midweek. The only player that remains recovering from injury is Niklas Süle. The last Bundesliga win for Dortmund was last year's 3-1 win over Wolfsburg at Volkswagen Arena.

Werder Bremen — WLLDL — 9th — Werder Bremen is another team that needs to prove themselves to their fans. The Green-Whites have not won a single game in 2025 until now, including a 2-nil loss at home Augsburg last week. Their last win was before Christmas on a 4-1 home against Union Berlin. In a Dortmund-like form, Bremen will undoubtedly try to take advantage of BVB's crisis. Felix Agu and Keke Topp are the guaranteed absences from Bremen's matchday squad with injuries, but Senne Lynen should be back from suspension.
