Bremen Form & balance check
For Bremen, the aim this season will once again be to secure their place in the league at an early stage and, if their performances and results allow, even to fight for a place in Europe. Werder is still unbeaten in the current season after three games. After a 2-2 draw against Augsburg and a 0-0 draw against Dortmund, they celebrated their first victory last weekend with a 2-1 away win in Mainz. This result puts them in eighth place in the table, with both upward and downward mobility still a possibility.
Mixed feelings
The Bremen team will go into this game with mixed feelings. They ended a run of 32 competitive games without a win against the record champions with their 1-0 away win in January this year, but on the other hand, their home record against FCB still stands. Bayern have won their last 15 away games in Bremen, more consecutive wins than any other team has managed against an opponent in German professional football. Bremen will be determined to break the next streak and finally win again at home against Munich after a long dry spell.

Bayern Form & Record Check
After failing to bring home a trophy to Säbener Straße last season, Bayern are out to change everything this year. The record champions have not only been active on the transfer market, but have also been able to sign an up-and-coming young coach in Vincent Kompany. And so far, these various elements all seem to be working together. They are through to the next round in the DFB Cup, they have won their first three league games against Wolfsburg, Freiburg and Kiel, and they won 9-2 against Zagreb in their opening game in this year’s Champions League. Never before has a team scored nine goals in a single Champions League game. The logical consequence of these performances is the league lead in both the Bundesliga and the Champions League.
Offensive Power
One of the many pieces of the puzzle for Kompany’s functioning system is Bayern’s offense. Across all competitions, Bayern have an incredible goal difference of 24:5 in the first five games of the season. Probably the most important player in Munich’s attack is Harry Kane. Last season’s top scorer seems to be taking it up a notch this season. In the Bundesliga, he scored four times and provided an assist in the first three games, and in the Champions League, the goalscorer notched a quadruple in his first game. With twelve goals in five games, the Brit seems unstoppable so far.
Bayern Facts & Analysis
- League leaders
- Last game won 9:2
- 24 goals from the first five games of the season
Werder Bremen has some personnel concerns after the last game. Attacker and key player Njinmah will be out for the time being with a ligament injury and captain Friedl is serving a red card suspension. In central defense, Malatini will likely start and Grüll or Topp will take over Njinmah’s role.
For Bayern, the question is of course whether Vincent Kompany will make a few changes after the CL game during the week. It is clear that Munich will start in a familiar 4-2-3-1. If Kompany gives some of his players a break, Palhinha, Laimer and Goretzka are ready for the center and Sané, Müller, Tel and Coman could liven up the offense. There is also the question of whether goalkeeper Neuer is fit. He had to be substituted out injured in the last game. If he does not make the starting lineup, Ulreich will take over the job between the posts.
