Bundesliga: Werder Bremen vs Bayern Munich live
Preview
Bayern Munich, aiming for their 12th consecutive title, will begin their Bundesliga season on Friday at 6:30pm against Werder Bremen, who will be hosting the perennial champions of Germany. After a disappointing loss in the DFL-Supercup, Bayern are determined to make a statement at Weserstadion.
After a pre-season period that began with a 27-0 victory and included a quick trip to Japan and Singapore, Bayern Munich returned to competitive action last week. They faced RB Leipzig in the DFL-Supercup, where they suffered a surprising 3-0 defeat to the DFB-Pokal winners. This match marked the debut of Harry Kane, who recently joined Bayern Munich from Tottenham Hotspur. As Bayern Munich aim to recover from this setback and start their pursuit of a 12th consecutive league title with a victory, Harry Kane is expected to make his first start on Friday night against Werder.
After suffering another defeat last week, Werder, who were down to 10 players, were eliminated from the DFB-Pokal by Viktoria Koln, a team from the third division. They conceded three goals in the last 20 minutes, including a goal in stoppage time, resulting in a 3-2 loss. This loss raises concerns about their ability to avoid relegation, and they will once again depend on Niclas Fullkrug, the German striker who finished last season as the Bundesliga’s top scorer with 15 goals, to help them stay in the league.
Head-to-head
Bayern Munich have emerged victorious in 25 out of the last 26 matches against Werder Bremen, with one match ending in a draw. In the past three meetings, Bayern have scored a total of ten goals against Werder Bremen. Additionally, in their most recent encounter last season, Bayern secured a 2-1 victory.
Prediction
Despite a rare loss in their previous match, Bayern’s team appear stronger than ever, with numerous players competing for a spot on the bench. If they can quickly find their rhythm and provide Harry Kane with the appropriate support, they are bound to score goals. As a result, it is highly likely that they will secure another victory at Weserstadion.
