Borussia Dortmund 1 - 1 Werder Bremen
Without Harnik to provide a spark off the bench, I can see Bremen reverting to
their stagnant form that has plagued them this season. Dortmund seems to be finding some form,
although it must be noted that it was against some weak opposition. Game is on GolTV.
Stuttgart 4 - 0 Energie Cottbus
Cacau and Yildiray Bastürk return to a team that needs a turn in fortune in
order to start aiming at a top spot, but also have their eye on a tough Champions League group.
Sometimes we forget how beautiful Stuttgart can play. Sometimes, it seems,
they themselves forget. It explains why they sometimes look so average. But lying in wait, at all
times, is the ability to play perfect tactical football with short precise passes to keep
possession until they can spring a trough-ball. And when it clicks for them, it can be as beautiful
to watch as any top attacking club, such as Barcelona, Seville or Arsenal.
