​SV Werder Bremen’s Niclas Füllkrug scored his 8th goal of the season on Friday in a 2:1 win over hosts TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. Füllkrug also picked up an assist in the match’s 1st goal, when Bremen’s Marvin Ducksch struck the bottom corner in the 18th minute. The hosts tied the match in the 33rd minute, when Dennis Geiger fed Mu’nas Dabbur’s goal. The match’s final goal came on a penalty kick in the 87th minute, when Füllkrug converted after a VAR review. Bremen have now scored a league-high 9 goals in the final 15 minutes this season, and only Bayern have scored more goals than Bremen’s 20 this season. The biggest match this weekend is, of course, Saturday’s Klassiker between hosts Borussia Dortmund and visitors FC Bayern München, when Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham will face off against Bayern’s Sadio Mane. Bellingham picked up 1 goal and 1 assist earlier this week when Dortmund defeated Sevilla 4:1 in the UEFA Champions League, and it was the 3rd time in as many European games that he found the back of the net. Bayern are level on points with Dortmund after 8 matchdays, but the visitors have a much better goal differential. Bayern are coming off a rout of Bayer Leverkusen, a fixture in which Mane, Jamal Musiala, and Leroy Sane were all on target, and defeated Viktoria Plzen 5:0 earlier this week. This weekend’s Klassiker is the 107th of the Bundesliga era, and the statistics favor the visitors: Dortmund have lost their last 8 competitive meetings with Bayern, and Bayern have won the last 7. Earlier on Saturday, Schalke will travel to nearby Leverkusen in what will be an important match for both clubs, who are separated at the bottom of the table by just 1 point. Leverkusen welcomed a new coach on Wednesday, when Xabi Alonso took over following the dismissal of Gerardo Seoane. Although the club finished 3rd last season and qualified for the UEFA Champions League, the club has collected just 5 points in 8 matches this season. Schalke are only slightly better off, but could drop into the relegation zone if they lose on the road. Schalke’s only victory this season came at the expense of rock-bottom Bochum, and the club is on a record run of 32 Bundesliga away games without a win. Another derby in Nordrhein-Westfalen follows on Sunday, when Gladbach host rivals Köln. The hosts suffered a disastrous 5:1 loss last weekend to Bremen, while the visitors are coming off a remarkable comeback win at home over Dortmund. A win against Gladbach could lift Köln into the league’s top 4 clubs. The weekend ends when Union Berlin travel to Stuttgart to decide the league’s top positions.
