Under Horst Steffen's guidance, Bremen are still trying to find their rhythm with new additions to the squad. Vincent Kompany's side is a formidable Munich machine, showing no mercy, especially on home turf. Given Bremen's current form, their chances look slim. We've analyzed both teams ahead of the clash and are ready to offer a well-founded prediction, taking into account gameplay logic and the odds.

Head-to-Head

Bayern Munich Team Overview

🔴 Last Saturday, Bayern secured their seventh consecutive victory to start the season, thrashing Hoffenheim away (4-1). The first half was a balanced contest, but Bayern created more chances. Manuel Neuer was called into action once to keep his team in the game. Bayern took the lead just before the break from a corner: Lennart Carl, making his first start, delivered an assist to Harry Kane, who calmly found the back of the net.

⚪ In the second half, Kane converted a penalty for a handball and completed his ninth Bundesliga hat-trick after another penalty was awarded for a foul by Michael Olise. With 8 minutes remaining, Bayern conceded from a set-piece but held their nerve. Serge Gnabry sealed the win from a tight angle. This victory put Bayern at the top of the table with 12 points and a goal difference of +15 after four matches – the best start in Bundesliga history.

Werder Bremen Team Overview

🟢 After an impressive 4-0 victory in Gladbach, Werder were left disappointed at home, suffering a 3-0 defeat to Freiburg. In the 31st minute, Bremen conceded a penalty after the ball deflected off Cameron Puertas' hand—an arguable decision by the referee, but the goal stood.

⚪ Ten minutes into the second half, the visitors doubled their lead. The Green-Whites had a chance to claw back into the game when Yukinari Sugawara's cross struck a Freiburg defender's hand, but Romano Schmid failed to convert the penalty. The final blow came with Karim Coulibaly's own goal in the 75th minute. After four rounds, Werder sit in 14th place with one win, one draw, and two losses, holding a goal difference of -2.

Bayern Munich

🎙 Post-match comments from Vincent Kompany: "We overcame a tough start thanks to our experience and quality. Hoffenheim were the better side in the first half, but we showed a strong response in the second and played very well. I'm pleased with the victory. I'm not surprised by the challenging first half – we had a tough match against Chelsea just three days ago. We kept our composure and did what we do best."

🔝 If Harry Kane scores twice against Werder, he will become the fastest player in Bundesliga history to reach 100 goals – he currently has 98 goals in 103 matches.

❌ The squad is facing injury issues: Jonas Urbig is out for three weeks due to an adductor strain, Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito are expected back only in November, Kim Min-Jae remains doubtful, Josip Stanisic is sidelined for 2-3 weeks, and Jamal Musiala is still far from returning.

Werder Bremen

🎙 Head coach Horst Steffen commented on the defeat: "We were hoping for a better start, but we failed to capitalize on the opportunities we had. After the penalty, the situation changed, and Freiburg defended excellently."

❌ Samuel Mbangula is wrapping up his individual program, Julian Malatini and Salim Musah have returned to team training, while Niklas Stark, Mitchell Weiser, Max Wöber, and Olivier Deman continue their recovery.

🟨 Referee and Cards

🟨 Referee and Cards

The match will be officiated by Frank Willenborg, who averages 4.1 yellow cards per game. Bayern have received 12 bookings in 4 matches (an average of 3), while Werder have been cautioned 11 times (averaging 2.75). We predict a total of over 3.5 yellow cards.

⚽ Goal Prediction

Bayern have scored at least 3 goals at home in all their opening matches of the season. Werder, on the other hand, have conceded 10 goals, the second-worst record in the Bundesliga. Our editorial pick: Bayern to score over 2.5 goals.

🚩 Corner Prediction

Bayern have taken 5 corners in each of their four league matches, while Werder have not exceeded 4. Our choice is Werder's total corners under 4.5, as the visitors are expected to play defensively for most of the match.

Bayern are confidently leading the pack, but with challengers like Borussia Dortmund and Leipzig close behind, they can't afford to drop points at home. Werder remain inconsistent, as their new coach and players are yet to find their rhythm. Harry Kane has a strong chance to score a brace and set a new record, with the team boasting the necessary firepower up front. Our match prediction: Bayern to win with a -2.5 handicap. Expected scoreline – 4-0.
