From the source

Source excerpt · BVB Buzz ↗

Borussia Dortmund manager Niko Kovac held Werder Bremen in high regard ahead of their clash in the second round of the DFB-Pokal tonight. The Bundesliga rivals meet for the second time in a space of just 18 days, as they played out a pulsating 2-2 draw in the league earlier this month.

It triggered a mini-slump for Dortmund, who failed to win their next two matches in all competitions too as their season suffered a post-international break meltdown.

But Kovac's side were able to arrest the downward spiral and restore normalcy after beating Sabah FK in the Champions League followed by a narrow win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.
