Without a doubt, a classic Bundesliga match-up between Werder and Bayern will take place on Saturday. Both teams seem to be in good form heading into this, as Werder and Bayern are in the upper half of the table after 3 matchday and neither have suffered any league defeats yet.
Werder Bremen Team News
There is some cause for optimism in the Bremen camp, as the team has picked up 5 points from their first 3 games and is most importantly – unbeaten. A good start that can be used as a foundation for better things to come, but whether this will be the case remains to be seen. What can be said is that Werder is unbeaten at home in 4 consecutive Bundesliga fixtures, a record spanning to last season as well. Since the start of the season, Ole Werner’s side has kept 1 clean sheet in the Bundesliga – against Borussia Dortmund. Coincidentally, that was the only match they failed to score. In Werder’s other 2 league games the goal tallies were overall high as both had over 2.5 goals scored.
Bayern Munich Team News
Vincent Kompany’s appointment as Bayern manager was met with some raised eyebrows, but he has so far proven his critics wrong. His team has enjoyed a perfect start to their season, winning all 3 Bundesliga games and scoring a total of 11 goals. During the midweek, Bayern were also involved in another record-setting fixture, this time becoming the first team to score 9+ goals in a single Champions League match. With such an impressive offensive record up to this point, it will be no surprise to expect more of the same from Bayern against Werder, especially since there are no signs of slowing down.
Head-to-Head-Games
Interestingly enough, Werder won the last meeting with Bayern and managed to do so at the Allianz Arena with 0-1. But before that, Bayern have 4 wins straight. A common trend between these 4 fixtures is that all of them produced a high number of goals and all, bar one, saw goals from both sides.

Werder Bremen – Bayern Munich Betting Prediction
Bayern Munich are the complete favourite here and rightly so, given their spectacular start to the season. Werder has also enjoyed a fine start as well, but I doubt they will manage to take anything from this fixture. Head-to-head statistics point to a total Bavarian dominance and I expect this to continue and in typical fashion between these two – with lots of goals scored. Thus, my pick here is for a Bayern Munich win in a game that will feature over 2.5 goals.
