THE PREDICTION
Borussia Dortmund unsurprisingly parted company with coach Lucien Favre on Sunday following the embarrassing 5-1 loss at home to Stuttgart, which was their third defeat in five league games. Former youth and assistant coach Edin Terzic has been appointed as interim boss until the end of the season, so he will already be familiar with the team. Werder Bremen’s chances of pulling off a similar upset against the Black and Yellows look pretty slim, though. They slipped to their third consecutive defeat at the weekend and have not beaten Dortmund in three years. Still reeling from that humbling against Stuttgart and with a new man in charge, expect a reaction from Dortmund - which could spell bad news for Werder.
