Werder Bremen vs Bayern Munich
German Bundesliga
Date: 18 August 2023, Friday
Kick-off at 19:30 UK / 20:30 CET
Venue: wohninvest WESERSTADION (Bremen).

Bayern Munich will try and forget a humiliating 0-3 defeat to the likes of RB Leipzig in the German Super Cup tie as soon as possible.

They will have a nice chance to do it straight away on Friday night when the 11-time successive German champions open the 2023/24 Bundesliga campaign with the clash against Werder Bremen at wohninvest WESERSTADION.

The Bavarians are enormous favorites ahead of the tie and we would by no means be surprised to see them claiming a comprehensive victory by netting four or five goals past the leaky back line of the rivals’.

Indeed, Werder have huge problems with the lack of defensive meticulousness at this phase of the season.

Die Werderaner allowed three goals in a disappointing road defeat to lower-division Viktoria Koln in the first round of the DFB Pokal on Saturday.

If we count the preseason friendlies, Werder have allowed at least two goals in each of the previous four matches. They have shipped as many as eight goals in the last three along the way.

This is by no means the kind of form you want to have going face to face with the 11-time champions who are hungry for success after suffering a tough defeat in the Super Cup affair.

To make matters worse for Ole Werner’s squad, Bayern Munich are ready for the debut of their new talisman Harry Kane who has finally completed a long-awaited move from Tottenham Hotspur last week.

Werder Bremen vs Bayern Munich Head-to-head

• Bayern Munich won 25 and drew one of the last 26 meetings with Werder Bremen.
• The Bavarians have bagged ten goals in the previous three encounters against Die Werderaner.
• However, we have also seen goals at both ends in each of the previous four head to head affairs between these teams.

Werder Bremen vs Bayern Munich Prediction

Werder posses a strong attacking duo with the likes of Nicklas Fullkrug and Marvin Duksch. Bayern’s back line is still not quite there and we would not be surprised to see the hosts on the scoresheet on Friday.

Bayern’s commanding win should still not come in question as we will take the Away win & Both Teams To Score as the main betting option at the odds of 2.62. This should be a high-scoring affair by all means and we like the Over 3.5 goals FT pick at the 1.80 odds.

Werder Bremen vs Bayern Munich Betting Tips

• Bayern Munich to win & Both Teams To Score @ 2.62 (13/8)

• Over 3.5 goals FT @ 1.80 (4/5) odd.
