Bundesliga: Bayern Munich vs Werder Bremen - Betting Tips, Odds & Prediction

Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich have the chance to go five points clear at the top when they host Werder Bremen at Allianz Arena on Saturday morning. Top betting websites are expecting goals to fly in this one since both teams have been quite comfortable finding the back of the net so far this season.

Bremen were unable to score against Freiburg last time out, though they still have eight goals to their name. Only four Bundesliga teams - including their upcoming hosts - have a better scoring record than them.

Join us as we break down this enticing Bundesliga battle and identify the best betting opportunities.

Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich maintained their perfect start to the Bundesliga season with their fourth successive win in their latest outing against Hoffenheim. Harry Kane scored a hat-trick as Vincent Kompany’s men cruised to a 4-1 victory at the PreZero Arena.

The Bavarians were also dominant in their first Champions League match of the season as they dispatched Club World Cup champions Chelsea 3-1 at Allianz Arena. Now, they return in front of their home crowd to face Werder Bremen, who they beat 3-0 at home last season. 
Best sports betting apps in NZ, therefore, are offering short odds for another Bayern win this weekend.

Team news: The hosts will have to make do without Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito once again, as the duo works their way back into fitness post-operation.

Predicted Lineup: Neuer; Boey, Upamecano, Tah, Laimer; Kimmich, Goretzka; Olise, Gnabry, Diaz; Kane.

Werder Bremen 

Werder Bremen have gotten off to a wild start under their new manager Horst Steffen. Eintracht Frankfurt hammered them 4-1 in their season opener, only for them to bounce back with a three-all draw against Bayer Leverkusen, followed by a 4-0 win against Borussia Monchengladbach.

Die Wardener had a bright start against Freiburg at home last weekend too. However, they lost momentum after Vincenzo Grifo converted a penalty to give the visitors the lead. A chaotic end to the match saw them down 3-0 at full-time.

Bookmakers with the best betting promotions are offering incredibly long odds for a Bremen win. Given their topsy-turvy nature, there’s a world where taking a punt on them makes sense.

Team news: Samuel Mbangula is still a doubt as the Belgian winger struggles with a thigh injury.

Predicted Lineup: Backhaus; Sugawara, Coulibaly, Friedl, Agu; Stage, Lynen; Schmid, Puertas, Mbangula; Grull.

• Werder Bremen have won one, drawn one, and lost two of their last four away matches at Allianz Arena.
• Both teams have not scored in the last four Bayern Munich vs Werder Bremen matches.
• Bayern Munich have recorded 16 goals in their last five home games against Werder Bremen.

It’s still early in the season, but so far Bayern Munich have looked more polished and composed under Kompany than they did last year. The former Burnley boss seems to have a clearer tactical vision this term, and it has made his team more fluid in attack. Their defence is quite settled as well. 

It will be difficult keeping a clean-sheet against this Bremen side, but their ruthless attack should punish the visitors for their defensive vulnerabilities.

Expect this to be a high-scoring match, with goals flying on both ends of the pitch. Bayern, however, look more settled and have a superior squad. So, we are backing them to bag the bragging rights.
