Werder Bremen Struggles to Find the Net Amid Bundesliga Losing Streak

Werder Bremen's Bundesliga campaign hits a snag as the team endures a four-game goal drought and a heavy defeat to Borussia Dortmund, raising concerns over their offensive struggles.

    Key details

  • • Werder Bremen lost 0:3 to Borussia Dortmund, continuing a four-match goal drought.
  • • The team has only two points from its last six Bundesliga games.
  • • New striker Jovan Milosevic made little impact as a substitute in the Dortmund game.
  • • Coach Horst Steffen and captain Marco Friedl emphasized the urgent need to score goals.

Werder Bremen continues to face a severe goal-scoring crisis in the Bundesliga, having failed to score in their last four matches. Their recent 0-3 defeat to Borussia Dortmund marked another disappointing result, reflecting the team's struggle to convert good performances into goals. Despite showing promise in the first half against Dortmund, Bremen could not capitalize on their chances. Captain Marco Friedl noted, "We play a really good game for 60 minutes, but we need to score goals, which we haven't done for three games now, making it difficult." The team has managed only two points from their last six games, exacerbating concerns about their offensive capabilities.

In an attempt to reverse this trend, Werder Bremen introduced 20-year-old Serbian striker Jovan Milosevic from Stuttgart during the Dortmund match. However, Milosevic, who came on in the 69th minute, was unable to make an impact. Coach Horst Steffen expressed frustration over their lack of goals and points, emphasizing the urgent need for a breakthrough. Forward Justin Njinmah also acknowledged the missed opportunities in the early stages of the game.

This offensive drought follows earlier matches against Stuttgart and Augsburg, where Bremen also failed to find the back of the net. The team is now looking ahead to their next fixture against Frankfurt, hoping for a turnaround to end their scoring drought and improve their Bundesliga standing.
