From the source

Borussia Dortmund play Werder Bremen in the second round of the DFB-Pokal tonight as the sides come face-to-face for the second time this month. On 9 October, the sides clashed in the Bundesliga and played out a 2-2 draw, with Dortmund relinquishing their 2-0 lead late on in a massive defensive collapse.

As they renew hostilities on Tuesday, Niko Kovac's side would have revenge on their mind although Bremen have knocked the BVB out in their last three cup meetings.

Werder Bremen have conceded in all seven Bundesliga games this season, shipping in a total of 14 goals. Only five teams have let in more at this stage of the campaign as the side has been consistently found out at the back.
