Borussia Dortmund vs Werder Bremen preview - Klopp set for emotional farewell

Borussia Dortmund will bid an emotional farewell to Jurgen Klopp this weekend when they welcome Werder Bremen to the Westfalenstadion.

Although Klopp still has one game left in charge of the Westphalians - in the DFB-Pokal final a week later - this will be his last game in front of more than 80,000 fans on home turf and his last - at least for now - in front of the famous Sudkurve.

"It's going to be a special atmosphere," Klopp said at the pre-match press conference. "I don't want to go into this game getting all nostalgic."

Klopp made a tearful farewell from his former club Mainz seven years ago and the tears are likely to flow again at the final whistle.

There remains work to do on the pitch, though, with Dortmund needing a point to secure seventh spot and qualification for the Europa League next season.

"The story that I've written here with this club cannot now be ruined by a defeat on the final day of the season," he said.

"We've been playing in the Champions League for four years and now we have a chance to see who's involved in the Europa League. Qualifying for that would mean everything."

Bremen can also qualify for the Europa League, but it is out of their hands.

First they must win in Dortmund and then they must hope that Klopp's men lose the cup final against Wolfsburg next weekend.

"We're not going there just to have a look around their pretty stadium - we want a miraculous win," said Bremen coach Viktor Skripnik.

"It's fantastic to be involved in this final for a place in Europe and I'm delighted that we've still got something to play for."
