Werder Bremen – Bayern München

Werder Bremen host Bayern Munich in what promises to be a decisive clash in the upper half of the table, with the hosts sitting fifth on four points after a win, a draw and a loss, while Bayern sit fourth on seven points, unbeaten so far. Bremen have scored five but conceded six this season, whereas Bayern boast a superior goal difference, having netted seven and allowed just two. The Bavarians will look to extend their perfect record and close the gap to the league leaders, while Bremen will hope to turn their negative goal balance around and climb back into the European spots. Historically the two sides have met frequently, and the recent form suggests Bayern enter as clear favorites, though a home crowd could make Bremen a tougher opponent than the numbers imply.
