Dortmund vs. Werder Bremen Betting Tips: Back goals at Signal Iduna Park on Friday evening

Friday Night Football offers up some Bundesliga action as serial title chasers Borussia Dortmund host Werder Bremen on Sky Sports Mix at 7:30pm.

BVB are one of three teams within touching distance of league leaders Bayer Leverkusen, and could at least temporarily leapfrog them into topping the charts until Saturday's results are in. Dortmund are yet to taste defeat in the Bundesliga this season from seven games, winning five, drawing two and scoring eight goals more than they've conceded.

For Werder Bremen, they've played more games than they've earned points, having lost five of their opening seven fixtures and managing to accrue just six points. In their first season back in the Bundesliga last term, they avoided the relegation play-offs by the skin of their teeth, surviving another season in the German top-flight by three points; an accomplishment they would snatch your hand off for again if offered.

At 1/3 in the match result market, Dortmund are well fancied to navigate the visit of Werder Bremen without much trepidation.

Friday's hosts have won 71.4% of their Bundesliga matches this term, half of which have come at the Signal Iduna Park.

While Werder Bremen aren't expected to pick up a result on the road this Friday, they can make Dortmund work for at least by etching themselves onto the scoresheet.

Die Borussen have shipped goals in a draw at home to Heidenheim and their most recent win over Union Berlin at this venue - two teams who have had almost identical starts to this week's visitors.

Werder Bremen's tally of 12 goals is far from the worst in the division, and they will be boosted by their strong record of scoring on the road, which has occurred in two out of three away games this season and in over 70% of last campaign's 17 away fixtures, including three goals at this very ground.

Having left Werder Bremen to join Borussia Dortmund this summer, we'd be remissed if we didn't include Niclas Fullkrug to score against his former club.

The 30-year-old centre forward added two international goals to his tally for the season during the break, putting him on four since the new campaign and seeing him score in each of his last four outings for club and country.

Dortmund haven't exactly seemed assured in defence, shipping five in their last four Bundesliga matches and seeing four or more goals scored on 75% of these occasions.

With recent scorelines including two 4-2 victories and a 3-1 win and this goals line being found in half of their 2023/24 games, we fancy another high-scoring affair on Friday night when Werder Bremen roll into town.
