Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich will lock horns with each other in the Bundesliga this coming weekend. The match between Die Werderaner and Die Bayern will be held at Weserstadion and is scheduled to kick off at 5:30pm UK time on Saturday.

Werder Bremen

Werder Bremen are doing extremely well for a club that were playing in the second division of German football last season. They finished second in the 2. Bundesliga table last season and won promotion to the Bundesliga for this campaign. And they could end up in the top half of the standings in the top half.

Ole Werner’s side are 12th in the Bundesliga table at the moment with 35 points from 30 matches. Werder are as many as seven points above the relegation zone and eight points behind ninth-placed Eintracht Frankfurt.

Werder will head into the Bundesliga match against Bayern Munich this coming weekend on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Schalke away from home in the league. It came after a 4-2 victory over Hertha Berlin on the road and followed a 2-1 home defeat to Freiburg.

Team News:

Werder Bremen are likely to line up in a 3-5-2 formation. Pavlenka will start in goal for the home team, while Philipp and Ducksch will be the two forwards. Gross will start in the middle of the park.

Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich have been dominating the domestic arena in Germany for years now, and not many would have expected them not to win the Bundesliga title again this season. After all, Bayern have the best and strongest squad in Germany, and it is almost a given year after year that they will win the title.

However, things have really been bad for Bayern. Despite hiring former Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain boss Paris Saint-Germain as their new head coach, the Bavarian giants are not doing so well. Bayern are at the top of the Bundesliga table at the moment with 62 points from 30 matches, a point clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund.

Bayern will head into the Bundesliga match against Werder Bremen this coming weekend on the back of a 2-0 victory over Hertha Berlin at the Allianz Arena in the league. It came after a 3-1 loss at the hands of Mainz on the road in the Bundesliga and followed a 1-1 draw with Manchester City at hime in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

Team News:

Bayern Munich are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Sadio Mane could lead the line for the Bavarian giants. Musiala, Gnabry and Coman will be the three attacking midfielders. Sommer will continue to start in goal.

Key Factors to Consider

• Werder Bremen have lost 3 of their last 5 Bundesliga matches.
• Bayern Munich have won 3 of their last 5 Bundesliga matches.
• Werder Bremen have conceded 58 goals in 30 Bundesliga games.
• Bayern Munich have scored 81 goals in 30 Bundesliga games.
• Niclas Füllkrug has scored 16 goals and given 5 assists in the Bundesliga for Werder Bremen.

Conclusion

Werder Bremen are really struggling at the moment, and even though they are at home, it is hard to see them beat a Bayern Munich side who are under real pressure now. Head coach Thomas Tuchel has not made a strong start to life at Bayern, but the defending Bundesliga champions do have the better team and should eventually manage to eke out a win in this particular game.
