Werder Bremen vs Bayern Munich prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-09-20 13:30.
[p]The most frequently played fixture in Bundesliga history returns for the 115th time as Werder Bremen look to improve their rather average all-time record against Bayern Munich (W27, D26, L61). A degree of confidence can be taken from the fact that Werder come into this unbeaten in league action after picking up their first win of the campaign in the previous round (W1, D2), a 2-1 win over Mainz despite playing a third of the game with ten men. [/p]
[p]Returning to Bremen with hopes of extending their home unbeaten run to five league games for the first time since 2019, Ole Werner will be acutely aware the River Islanders have lost each of the last 14 home league H2Hs. Werner himself was in charge for just two of those home encounters, and with a respectable personal record of W2, L3 against the Bavarians, including an away win last season, he may be cautiously optimistic. [/p]
[p]Beginning the campaign with a perfect league record (W3) and 11 goals scored, Vincent Kompany’s Bayern spell couldn’t have begun any better. This represents their first test following a midweek European round after a midweek clash with Dinamo, in which they became the first side in Champions League history to score 9+ goals in a single game, when they dispatched the Croatian side 9-2![/p]
[p]You can’t rule out Bayern being amongst the goals again here given nine of their impressive 11-goal league haul came away from home. It’s just as well they know where the net is, as they’re still defensively inconsistent, with Bayern failing to keep a clean sheet on the road in league action since November 2023, conceding at least twice in ten of their 13 such trips since (W6, D1, L6). [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Mitchell Weiser has assisted two of Werder’s four league goals this term and scored the winner in the latest H2H, meaning he’s contributed to a goal against Bayern in the last two seasons (G1, A1). For Bayern, Serge Gnabry has contributed to a goal in every domestic appearance so far this season (G1, A3) and has found the net in each of his last three Bundesliga H2Hs against Werder (G5). [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Werder are unbeaten in 57% of their league games as pre-match betting outsiders since the start of last season (W7, D9, L12), higher than the league average (42%). [/p]
