It’s almost time! The Bundesliga will soon kick off another year of action and a huge challenge awaits SV Werder in the first competitive match of 2017. For Champions League side Borussia Dortmund, sixth-place isn’t a satisfactory position in the league, however, they are nevertheless the clear favourites for this Saturday’s clash (15:30 CET). “Both team’s role before the game are clear, but we can sense a chance,” noted Fin Bartels, who scored against BVB the last time he played them. “If we do what we’re good at and prepare ourselves well for Dortmund’s strengths, why shouldn’t we pick up points?” he added. Head coach Alexander Nouri reflected on his team’s most recent games before the winter break, as the Green-Whites picked up some important points. “Against Hertha and Hoffenheim we were also the underdogs. We want to perform just as well as we did then,” he said.
