REF’s picks

Both teams to score is a strong entry here, supported by Borussia Dortmund's potent attack and Werder Bremen's aggressive start to the season. While Dortmund boast a flawless record and elite firepower through Guirassy and Silva, Bremen's leaky defence averaging two goals conceded per match should allow the visitors to nick a consolation.

1. 1Werder Bremen have scored freely despite their defensive frailties, finding the net regularly in their opening matches under Daniel Thioune.
2. 2Borussia Dortmund's backline is weakened by Nico Schlotterbeck's likely absence due to ankle ligament damage, giving Bremen openings.
3. 3A potential one-sided blowout where Dortmund keep a clean sheet remains a distinct risk if the visitors' numerous injury doubts disrupt their rhythm entirely.
