Werder Bremen vs Bayern Munich Prediction

Werder Bremen Form

In their previous three outings, Werder Bremen drew 1-1 with FC Koln, before losing 1-0 against Union Berlin and 3-2 against Viktoria Koln 1904. Werder Bremen claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Bundesliga, which also saw them drawing one and losing four matches, in which they scored nine and conceded ten goals.

Werder Bremen’s priority for this season will be to stay clear of the relegation zone, while challenging for a spot in the upper half of the Bundesliga.

Bayern Munich Form

Six points is Bayern Munich have to show from their past three matches, as they beat Schalke 04 by 6-0. This was followed by a 1-3 defeat against RB Leipzig, before winning 1-2 against FC Koln. In their last six Bundesliga away matches, Bayern Munich won a very acceptable four times. They've also drawn none and lost twice, scoring nine while also conceding eight times.

Bayern Munich will have their sight set on grabbing the trophy, while a place in the top two look a likely prospect before the Bundesliga gets rolling.

It seems both Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues this coming Friday, and we are rooting for goals.
