On Saturday, September 21st, in the 4th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich will face Werder Bremen away. The match is set to kick off at 15:30 CET. Here's the prediction and betting analysis from Dailysports experts.
Werder Bremen
Over the past year, Werder has transformed from a Bundesliga relegation contender into a solid mid-table team. Last season, Ole Werner's squad came just two goals shy of qualifying for European competitions, finishing level on points with Heidenheim but trailing in goal difference.
This season, Werder remains unbeaten after three matches, having collected 5 points. They started with a 2:2 draw against Augsburg and then surprised everyone by holding Borussia Dortmund to a 0:0 draw. In the last round, Werder secured a 2:1 away victory over Mainz.
Bayern Munich
Following a disastrous end to last season, Bayern underwent significant restructuring. The club offloaded several players and made some expensive signings. However, the biggest surprise was the appointment of Vincent Kompany as head coach, and so far, the Manchester City legend has been performing admirably.
Bayern opened the Bundesliga campaign with three consecutive victories. The toughest came against Wolfsburg, where Bayern trailed 1:2 but managed to score twice more. They followed this up with a 2:0 win over Freiburg and a 6:1 demolition of Bundesliga debutants Holstein Kiel.
Bayern's performance in the opening round of the UEFA Champions League was equally spectacular. In Munich, the "Rekordmeister" demolished Dinamo Zagreb with an astonishing 9:2 scoreline. No team has ever scored nine goals in a single Champions League match before.
Match Facts
- Werder are unbeaten in 4 consecutive home matches.
- Bayern have scored 15 goals in their last 2 games, with 7 coming from Harry Kane.
Possible Lineups
- Werder Bremen: Zetterer - Malatini, Stark, Jung - Weiser, Lynen, Stage, Agu - Schmid, Grüll - Ducksch
- Bayern Munich: Ulreich - Laimer, Kim, Upamecano, Guerreiro - Kimmich, Palhinha - Coman, Musiala, Gnabry - Kane
H2H
Last season, Werder lost 0:4 to Bayern at home but pulled off a shocking 1:0 away win. Bayern lead the head-to-head series with 72 wins to Werder's 30.
Werder vs Bayern prediction
Bayern are clear favorites, but even Dinamo Zagreb exposed some defensive vulnerabilities in the Munich side. My prediction: Both teams to score.
