The Matchday 21 Bundesliga clash between Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen will take place on February 7 at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Bayern Munich vs. Werder Bremen: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Bayern Munich
Vincent Kompany's side secured their sixth consecutive Bundesliga victory in the previous round. After scoring four goals against Holstein, the Munich team relaxed towards the end, allowing their opponent to narrow the gap to a minimum – 4:3. Notably, this was only the second time in the current championship that Bayern conceded more than two goals. The team currently sits at the top of the standings.
Forward Mathys Tel has transferred to Tottenham.
- At least three goals have been scored in 7 of Bayern's last 8 Bundesliga matches.
- The club has won their last 8 home league matches.
- Bayern has conceded in 4 of their last 5 home matches in this tournament.
Predicted lineup for Bayern Munich (4-5-1)
Manuel Neuer – Kim Min-jae, Dayot Upamecano, Konrad Laimer, Raphael Guerreiro – Alexander Pavlovich, Michael Olise, Kingsley Coman, Jamal Musiala, Joshua Kimmich – Harry Kane.
Werder Bremen
Bremen achieved a hard-fought victory over Mainz (1:0) in the last round, ending a four-match winless streak in the championship (2 draws, 2 losses). It was also the first time in six Bundesliga matches that Ole Werner's side kept a clean sheet. The three points helped the club climb to the upper half of the standings and reduce the gap to the European competition zone to one point.
Defenders Niklas Stark, Marco Friedl, and head coach Ole Werner will miss the upcoming game due to suspensions.
- The team has scored in 8 of their last 9 championship matches.
- Bremen has not lost in 9 of their last 12 away Bundesliga matches (6 wins, 3 draws).
- In 5 of their last 7 away matches in this tournament, Werder has not conceded more than two goals.
Predicted lineup for Werder Bremen (3-5-2)
Michael Zetterer – Anthony Jung, Marco Friedl, Niklas Stark – Leonardo Bittencourt, Senne Lynen, Mitchell Weiser, Romano Schmid, Issa Kaboré – Marvin Ducksch, Justin Njinmah.

Bayern Munich vs. Werder Bremen: Match Prediction
Bremen paid a high price for their victory in the last round. Now, Werder faces a match in Munich without their pair of main central defenders. Even with a full squad, Ole Werner's side has not excelled defensively, having conceded 36 goals, with only four clubs in the tournament having a worse record. Without Marco Friedl, the team's defense looks catastrophic. In the current championship, Friedl missed three matches, during which Werder conceded 11 goals. This includes the first-round match against Bayern, which ended in a 0:5 defeat.
Munich scores at least three goals in their last 8 Bundesliga home matches. Werder's visits to the Allianz Arena often end in heavy defeats: Werder has conceded at least four goals in 9 of their last 12 personal Bundesliga meetings. Given the visitors' current defensive issues, exacerbated by personnel losses, I don't expect anything positive for Bremen in the upcoming game.
