Bayern Munich vs. Werder Bremen: Match Prediction
Bayern Munich has started the season strongly, leaving little chance for their opponents, with only the away match against Augsburg (3-2) proving challenging. Bayern stays true to their aggressive attacking style, averaging 4.5 goals per match this season. Moreover, their home scoring streak in the Bundesliga now spans 22 matches, with the team scoring fewer than two goals in only one of those encounters.
Werder Bremen has recently shown strong away performances, suffering just one defeat in their last seven league matches, with five wins. The team favors an active attacking approach and consistently finds the back of the net. In their last seven away Bundesliga games, Werder has always scored, netting at least twice in six of those matches.
I have no doubts about Bayern's attacking prowess, but I also expect Werder to perform well offensively. My prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
