Niclas Füllkrug and Serhou Guirassy to do battle as Borussia Dortmund host Werder Bremen
· Bundesliga-Official
On Friday, the Bundesliga returns as Borussia Dortmund host Werder Bremen to kick off Matchday 5 of the 2026/27 campaign. The clash will pit two leading strikers against each other in Serhou Guirassy and Niclas Füllkrug, who will face BVB for the first time since his 2024 departure...
Heading into this fixture, Dortmund find themselves in an unfamiliar position, especially in recent seasons, as they lead the Bundesliga having won all four games to open a two-point buffer over Bayern Munich. Several players have grabbed the headlines, such as Felix Nmecha and Fabio Silva, but Serhou Guirassy has gone about his business with familiar efficiency.
In five games in all competitions, he has found the back of the net four times, more than any of his teammates. He also has four assists to boot, two of which have come in the Bundesliga, already matching his tallies in each of the past two full campaigns.
