Signing off the 2025/26 campaign on Saturday afternoon, Borussia Dortmund will travel to the Weserstadion when they meet Werder Bremen.
Werder Bremen
Starting with the hosts, while Werder Bremen might have secured a much-welcomed 3-1 victory at home against Hamburger last month, it appears that was just a minor boost for the River Islanders. Although Daniel Thioune’s side might have dragged themselves over the finishing line as they clung to their Bundesliga status, they are certainly limping their way over the finishing line. Last seen putting in a toothless display as they slumped to a 1-0 defeat away at Hoffenheim, the Greens have mustered just a single victory from any of their previous six top-flight appearances. Getting May underway with a thumping 3-1 loss at the hands of Augsburg, Werder Bremen look set for what is another heavyweight examination this weekend. It should also be highlighted, Saturday’s hosts have lost three of their last four Bundesliga showdowns at the Weserstadion.
Werder Bremen Team News
Shown a first-half red card away at Hoffenheim last weekend, former Southampton defender Yukinari Sugawara will miss out through suspension on Saturday afternoon. Likewise, the German duo of Mitchell Weiser and ex-Schalke youngster Keke Topp are dealing with respective knee injuries.
Making a permanent switch from Italian outfit Juventus last summer, Belgium starlet Samuel Mbangula could be handed a full recall. Certainly Bremen’s standout performer this season and registering 10 Bundesliga strikes, Jens Stage will start in the middle of the park.
Borussia Dortmund
As for the visitors, making an immediate return to winning ways last weekend as they secured a thrilling 3-2 victory at home against Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Dortmund will simply be looking to sign off the 2025/26 campaign with a final flurry. However, despite signing off April with a dominant 4-0 romp against Europa League finalists Freiburg, Niko Kovac’s side have largely struggled to find much stability since their stellar four-match winning run on either side of March’s international break. However, wrapping up yet another silver medal finish among Germany’s elite, Saturday’s guests will be excited by their most recent showdown against Bremen. Cruising their way to a routine 3-0 victory when they welcomed Bremen to Signal Iduna Park back on January 13th, the German heavyweights will be seeking a repeat performance this weekend.

Borussia Dortmund have already confirmed that club captain Emre Can will not play any part on Saturday afternoon and remains on the sidelines with a knee injury.

Already announcing that he will be leaving Signal Iduna Park following the expiry of his contract this summer, Julian Brandt will bid an emotional farewell to the German giants. Bagging a 16th Bundesliga strike of the season last week, leading marksman Serhou Guirassy will spearhead Dortmund’s charge on Saturday afternoon.
