Game: DORTMUND vs WERDER BREMEN
Type: BUNDESLIGA
Date: 21 March, 2009
PREVIEW
Dortmund holds the record of having the least losses this season - which currently stands at 4. Unfortunately, most of their matches have ended in draws, especially at home (9 times). To make matters worse, the home team have been struggling of late, winning only once in their last 11 in all competitions. Their inability to convert chances remain their main culprit, scoring only an average of 1.33 goals at home.
The 2-2 draw away against St Etienne in the mid-week UEFA Cup 2nd leg tie means that Bremen has now gone undefeated in their last 7. They have managed to remain unbeaten away in their last 4, scoring an average of 2.25 goals per away game! Confidence will be sky-high as they seek to gain as many points as possible in the final stretch of fixtures. Both teams are tied on head-to-head results in their past 4 matches.
KWIK STATS
HOME > DORTMUND
AWAY > BREMEN
THE PICK
Despite my earlier doubts, the visitors have looked impressive in their midweek match away at St Etienne on Wednesday. BREMEN's recent uptrend should be good enough to inflict a disjointed Dortmund with their 1st home defeat of the season.
