Countdown to the Cup Showdown Against Werder Bremen

We’ll keep you updated here until kickoff.

As head coach Niko Kovac had already announced, Joane Gadou returns to BVB’s starting lineup in place of Ramy Bensebaini (suspended after receiving a red card). He will once again start as the right center back, while Nico Schlotterbeck will shift to the left center back position. Waldemar Anton is set to anchor the defense. Up front, Borussia will line up with Serhou Guirassy as the lone striker, while Carney Chukwuemeka replaces Fábio Silva in the starting lineup.

Current Situation: Heading into the Cup Match in Strong Form

With strong momentum, Borussia Dortmund is looking forward to the challenge of facing Werder Bremen in the DFB Cup. In the UEFA Champions League and the Bundesliga last week, the team secured two important victories—against Sabah FC (2-1) and Eintracht Frankfurt (1-0)—to stay on track in both competitions. In the DFB Cup, the team aims to secure its next victory and clinch a spot in the round of 16.

But Werder Bremen has also picked up three points recently and is traveling to Dortmund in good form: On Saturday, the team from Bremen celebrated a 3-2 away win at 1. FSV Mainz 05.

Cup Statistics: Even Record

In the DFB Pokal, BVB and Werder have faced each other eight times so far. The Black and Yellows won four times, and the Green and Whites won four times. Notably, the most recent three matchups in 2008, 2018, and 2019 all went to Bremen. In each of those instances, the two teams faced off in the round of 16. The biggest DFB Pokal match between Dortmund and Bremen took place on June 24, 1989, when BVB defeated Werder 4–1 in the final in Berlin, bringing the title back to Dortmund.

Jerseys: BVB in Yellow

Borussia Dortmund will take the field in their yellow home jerseys with black shorts and yellow socks (visit the online store). The visitors will wear their coral-red away jerseys.

Weather: Crisp and autumnal

Temperatures of 12 to 14 degrees are still expected in Dortmund on Tuesday evening. It will be cloudy, with a chance of light precipitation.

Recap: Late Draw in Their Most Recent Matchup

It’s been just two and a half weeks since BVB and Werder faced off in the Bundesliga. The Friday night match on Matchday 5 ended in a 2–2 draw. The split of the points was particularly bitter from the Black and Yellow perspective, as the equalizer—scored by former Dortmund player Niclas Füllkrug—didn’t come until deep into stoppage time.

Broadcast: Live on Sky and ZDF

The game will be broadcast live on Sky and streamed on WOW. It will also air live on ZDF, with commentary by Gari Paubandt. Live coverage begins at 8:15 p.m. Sven Voss will host the broadcast, with Christoph Kramer serving as the expert analyst.

Referee: Schröder will officiate

Robert Schröder will referee the match. Christof Günsch and Florian Heft will serve as assistant referees. Robin Braun will be the fourth official, and Pascal Müller will serve as the video assistant referee.

Attendance: Sold-out crowd

The night game is sold out; all 81,365 tickets have been sold. Around 8,000 visiting fans are expected from Bremen.

Tickets: Secondary Market Open

There, ticket holders can legally list their season tickets or single-game tickets for resale in the BVB ticket shop up to two and a half hours before kickoff if they are unable to attend SIGNAL IDUNA PARK in person. The ticket does not need to be physically handed over, as it is electronically blocked and then activated for the new holder.

Holders of a Print@Home ticket or a Mobile Ticket must carry a public transit ticket in addition to their admission ticket; this can be ordered online for free on this page.

FFC Recklinghausen. Under the floodlights, the BVB Women \u2013 playing in their black away jerseys for the first time \u2013 began with their usual attacking drive. Five minutes into the game, Jenske Steenwijk chipped the ball into the penalty area. Alex Popp let it bounce once and finished with her left foot to give her team an early 1-0 lead.<\/p>\nThe hosts subsequently dropped even deeper in front of their own goal, allowing the Black and Yellow defensive line \u2013 which had pushed high up the field \u2013 to take control of the build-up play. The BVB Women found a way past the deep-lying defense in the 19th minute when Lara Schmidt played the opening pass to Ricarda Walkling. Walkling\u2019s through ball found Alex Popp in the box, who slipped the ball past the goalkeeper to set up Ronja Leubner for the 2\u20130 lead.<\/p>\n<img data-assetref=\"BVB-Frauen-Recklinghausen-3-1793562078988\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/11/01/frauen-spielbericht-recklinghausen/BVB-Frauen-Recklinghausen-3.jpg\"><\/p>\nThe Borussia women consistently defended isolated counterattacks by the fifth-place team and patiently worked to build up their own play. Less than five minutes after the second half resumed, the ball landed in the penalty area at the feet of Alex Popp, who \u2013 just as she had in the first half \u2013 uncompromisingly slotted it into the far corner \u2013 3\u20130 (49'). Another four minutes later, Jenske Steenwijk headed the ball in to make it 4\u20130 (53'), as she simply had to nudge a cross from Ann-Sophie Vogel over the goal line.<\/p>\nIn her final play of the game (62'), captain Alex Popp completed her hat trick and made it 5\u20130 after Ronja Leubner had just lifted the ball over goalkeeper Carlotta Sesjak and onto the crossbar. The BVB Women failed to capitalize on subsequent chances to score a sixth goal\u2014first in the 79th minute off a free kick by Rita Schumacher and then in the 81st minute through Annika Enderle. With their 5\u20130 away victory on Sunday evening, the BVB Women solidified their flawless lead at the top of the table with 33 points from eleven games.
