Dortmund Target 73 Points at Werder Vs Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund head into werder vs dortmund with second place already secured and 70 points on the board after their 3-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. A victory at the Weserstadion would lift them to 73 points and give the club its fifth-best Bundesliga season.

Kovac Sets Dortmund’s Target

Niko Kovac did not hide the target for the final match. “Wir nehmen das Spiel sehr ernst,” he said before the trip to Bremen, and he added, “70 Punkte klingen gut, 73 klingen noch besser.”

The Dortmund coach also made clear that a smaller return would still leave him satisfied, saying, “Mit 71 könnte ich leben, aber wir fahren hin, um zu gewinnen.” The table does not move for Dortmund’s place anymore, but the total still can.

Werder Bremen At Weserstadion

Werder Bremen enter the match in 15th place and have already secured survival, sitting six points clear of the relegation and playoff places. Their form has dipped, with only one win in their last six league matches.

That leaves Werder and Dortmund playing for different kinds of finish. Bremen can close out a season without relegation pressure, while Dortmund are trying to turn a finished league race into a points total that sits among the club’s best.

Ryerson And Schmid Numbers

Dortmund’s edge in the fixture runs well beyond this season. They are unbeaten in their last six competitive matches against Werder, and all four previous Bundesliga final-day meetings between the sides went Dortmund’s way.

The individual numbers also lean toward both sides’ key creators. Julian Ryerson has delivered 14 assists in this Bundesliga season, while Schmid has played in all 33 Werder matches and leads the team with eight assists. Werder will do without Yukinari Sugawara, who is suspended for the match.

For Dortmund, the target is simple: leave Bremen with a win and a points total that rewrites the shape of their season. For Werder, the final home game offers one last chance to match a side already fixed in second place.
