Borussia Dortmund travel to the Weser Stadium on Saturday evening to take on mid-table outfit Werder Bremen as they continue their hunt of Bayern Munich at the top of the Bundesliga table.
Dortmund's title hopes were dealt what seemed like a fatal blow last weekend after their 4-2 defeat at home to Schalke in the Ruhr derby. However, they were let off the hook as Bayern could only muster a draw against second-bottom Nurnberg, giving Dortmund an extra lifeline in the title race.
Lucien Favre's side cannot afford any more slip ups if they want to close the two point gap to the top and they will need to start by taking all three points in Saturday's tricky away fixture.
