Bayern Munich vs. Werder Bremen
In the Bundesliga, the last phase before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar is going one after the other. After the 13th matchday last weekend, the Bundesliga now enters an English week, with the nine matches of the 14th matchday being played on Tuesday and Wednesday. Bayern Munich recently took the lead in the standings thanks to an upswing in form and will be looking to defend it in the clash with Werder Bremen. The match kicks off on Tuesday at 20:30 in the Allianz Arena, and you can find our prediction in the following Bayern vs Bremen tip.
The Bavarians are finally back in their usual regular place. After Union Berlin had surprisingly stayed at the top of the Bundesliga table for a long time, the record champions passed them last weekend. With 28 points from 13 games, Munich are only one point ahead of second-placed Freiburg, so it remains exciting. Bremen can also be more than satisfied with their position in seventh place, the promoted team is in an excellent position with 21 points and is even knocking on the door of the international ranks.

Bayern Form & Balance Check
FC Bayern have played themselves into a real frenzy before the winter break. The Munich side have not lost in eleven competitive games and have won ten in that period, most recently picking up eight three-goal victories in a row. In addition, the record champions have scored at least twice in all games during this series, so the offensive is also running at full speed again. Accordingly, the FCB has positioned itself excellently in all competitions before the World Cup. In the Champions League, Bayern had a perfect group stage, and in the DFB Cup, the last 16 is on the agenda after the turn of the year.
Wild first round in Berlin
The Munich side are also finally back on track in the Bundesliga after reclaiming the league lead last weekend. The FCB recently recorded four wins in a row in the league and presented themselves as highly confident for the most part. In the duel with Berlin Hertha, however, Bayern had to tremble until the end. With strong efficiency, the serial champions already led 3:0 in the first half, but the hosts came back before the break and reduced the score to 3:2. In the second period, not much more happened, so that the Bavarians were able to celebrate another victory.
Bayern facts & analysis
– Top of the Bundesliga, 28 points from 13 games.
– Last win 3:2 at Hertha
– Unbeaten for 11 games, 8 wins in a row
Bremen form & balance check
Bremen’s Bundesliga return continues to go much better than the promoted side could have dreamed. Werder continue to pick up points with impressive consistency and are now on six wins for the season. Even if the Green-Whites go through little lulls every now and then, they always bounce back quickly. This season, SVW have yet to go on a run of more than three consecutive winless games, with the three consecutive defeats to Mainz, Paderborn (cup) and Freiburg being their weakest spell of the season.
Close numbers against Hertha and Schalke
This means a lot, especially as Werder immediately responded to these three defeats with two important victories. Against Hertha and Schalke 04, Bremen were able to keep two relegation candidates at bay, even though both games were very close. In the duel with the Berliners, it was only a late dream header by Füllkrug that decided the game 1:0, against Königsblau Werder also had some problems. The Knappen dominated especially in the early stages of the game, but in the end still had to concede a 2-1 defeat after goals from Füllkrug and Ducksch.
Bremen facts & analysis
– 7th place in the Bundesliga, 21 points from 13 games.
– Last win 2:1 against Schalke
– 2nd win in a row
Predicted line-up – last update on 7 November 2022
Due to Davies’ injury (torn muscle fibre), Hernandez is likely to make his starting eleven comeback prematurely, as Stanisic was also out last time. De Ligt, Müller and Sarr are also expected to miss out. Otherwise, Nagelsmann could stick to the successful starting eleven of recent weeks in the final spurt before the World Cup, in which Sabitzer, Coman and Sané are the first alternatives.
On the other hand, the Bremen team has also established itself as a regular team. The only change from the last game is likely to be Jung, who could return to the left wing. Then Pieper or Stark would have to make way, Friedl would move back into the three-man backline. Apart from that, no other changes are in the offing as long as Füllkrug, Ducksch and Gruev, who have been injured recently, are all fit for action. Groß and Burke would be other starting options.
