Kits: BVB in yellow
Borussia Dortmund will wear their yellow home shirts with black shorts and yellow socks (visit the online shop). The visitors will wear their coral-red third kit.
Return: Niclas Füllkrug visits with Werder
The former Dortmund player, who has returned to Werder, has scored once in each of his last three Bundesliga matches. However, the striker has never scored in four consecutive league games. Füllkrug has also yet to score against his former club in seven meetings. In the 2023/24 season, he scored twelve goals in 29 Bundesliga appearances for BVB. “He feels comfortable there and will naturally be motivated to play against his old teammates,” says Niko Kovac. “But it’s not just about him. There are ten other players on the pitch we have to deal with. We need to impose our game, and that’s not about who’s playing on the other side.”
Referee: Dingert takes charge
Christian Dingert will referee the match, assisted by Alexander Sather and Stefan Lupp. Tom Bauer has been appointed fourth official, with Benjamin Cortus as video assistant referee. Dingert last refereed BVB on Matchday 19 of the 2024/25 season – in the home match against Werder Bremen.
