AI match recap
Dortmund arrive as league leaders with a perfect start and an imposing defensive record at Signal Iduna Park. Bremen have started respectably, but their away defending and extensive injury list make this a demanding trip. The home side's main complication is a cluster of late fitness decisions in defence and wide areas. Füllkrug gives Werder a credible route into the match, yet Dortmund's pressure, width and depth around Guirassy should dictate the contest.
Head-to-head analysis
Dortmund have won six of the last ten meetings, including both league encounters last season, and are unbeaten across the most recent six. Bremen's last victory in this fixture came in Dortmund, a reminder that late-game disorder has hurt the hosts before.
Injuries and absences
Bremen's absences are most damaging in the left defensive channel and central midfield, reducing both their cover against wide attacks and their ability to retain possession. Dortmund are deeper overall, but uncertainty around Schlotterbeck, Ryerson and Svensson could alter the stability of their usual back-three and wing-back structure.
