Bayern Munich have strengthened towards a new title in the Bundesliga, being the only undefeated team in the league since the start of the year. On the other hand, Werder Bremen are trying to place themselves among the Top 6 and one win might be enough to get them there.
The Bavarians achieved another spectacular result against newcomers Holstein Kiel after beating them 4-3. But the final result should not fool you. The visitors scored two of their goals after the 90th minute when Bayern Munich were pretty much just walking on the pitch. With this success, the Bavarians recorded their fifth consecutive victory since the beginning of the year and are the only team with such success at the moment. Even Bayer Leverkusen, who are the only other contender for the title, conceded a draw, with which Bayern managed to pull away by six points.
Werder Bremen have recorded horrendous results since the start of the year. Their only win in five games came last weekend when they outclassed Mainz by a minimal 1-0. Before that, they recorded a shocking loss to Augsburg and a draw with Heidenheim. Yet, The River Islanders are just a point away from the Top 6, after their main rivals also recorded several consecutive winless rounds. And Werder managed to beat Bayern once last season, so there is reason to feel motivated.
How the bookies view it: It's always Bayern by a lot
You will hardly be surprised by the fact that Bayern Munich have almost no odds at most bookmakers once again. You can pick them at around 1/10, while the visitors are available at 16/1. The draw is the last option, and you can take advantage of the solid 9/1.
Recent head to head: Seldom a good day for the River Islanders
Fans of The River Islanders have not had much cause for joy in recent clashes with Bayern Munich, as the Bavarians have won eight of their last 10 H2Hs. However, it should be noted that Werder Bremen managed to win the three points at the Allianz Arena last season, which also remains their only success over Bayern since 2008. They were one of only three teams to beat the Bavarians on their ground in 2024.
Players to watch: Olise is a hidden gem
Last week, we told you to give Michael Olise a chance because he's been great this season, and he didn't let us down. He provided the assist for the Bavarians' first goal against Holstein Kiel. Going back to the previous game against Werder Bremen in September (0:5 for the Bavarians), Olise scored two goals and added two assists. The odds are worth it for both markets.
Probable line-ups
Bayern Munich: Neuer, Stanisic, Upamecano, Kim, Guerreiro, Kimmich, Palhinha, Sane, Musiala, Coman, Kane
Werder Bremen: Zetterer, Pieper, Veljkovic, Jung, Weiser, Stage, Lynen, Kabore, Schmid, Ducksch, Silva
Anything else catch the eye?
It is always difficult to bet on Bayern Munich's games as most major markets have meaningless odds. We always have to look for alternatives and in this case, we have some great ideas.
Werder Bremen have a serious defensive problem when they visit other teams. They have conceded 19 goals in 10 games, 14 of them in the first half. Bayern Munich like to close out their games early, so we suggest over 1.5 goals for the first half once more. The reverse fixture from September ended at 0:5 for the Bavarians and they scored twice before the break.
