Dortmund seek a fifth straight win
Niko Kovac’s side lead the Bundesliga after four rounds and have not yet dropped a point. Their Stuttgart result underlined a controlled start to the campaign: Beier supplied the decisive moment, while Dortmund again held firm defensively.
A fifth league victory would maintain that early pace. Bremen arrive with momentum of their own, however, after a sharp turnaround following a difficult opening day.
Werder’s recovery and match coverage
Daniel Thioune’s team began with a 4-1 defeat against Freiburg but have improved substantially since then. They recorded a clear victory over RB Leipzig before their comeback against Augsburg.
Werder trailed Augsburg by two goals before winning 3-2. Weiser, a popular figure at the club, returned at home after his cruciate ligament injury and struck the decisive, eye-catching goal.
The match takes place on Friday, 9 October 2026, at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund. Sky’s build-up starts at 19:30, with Hansi Küpper and Cornelius Küpper on commentary. The game is also available through the paid Sky Go and WOW streaming services.
