Back to league action, Borussia Dortmund faces Werder Bremen in their next game hoping that a possible win will kick-start a good run of form in the remaining games.

Edin Terzic’s men have just one win from their last five games across all competitions. Bremen have also lost four of their last five games in all competitions with the only win coming in the DFB Pokal.

A win for Dortmund will take them closer to the top four places knowing that both Eintracht Frankfurt and Wolfsburg face tough fixtures over the weekend as well.
