The Matchday 21 Bundesliga clash between Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen will take place on February 7 at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Bayern Munich vs. Werder Bremen: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Bayern Munich
Vincent Kompany's side claimed their sixth consecutive Bundesliga victory in the last round. After scoring four goals against Holstein, the Munich team relaxed towards the end, allowing their opponent to narrow the gap to a minimum – 4-3. Notably, this was only the second time this season Bayern conceded more than two goals. The team currently sits at the top of the league table.
Forward Mathys Tel has transferred to Tottenham.
- At least three goals have been scored in 7 of Bayern's last 8 Bundesliga games.
- The club has won their last 8 home matches in the league.
- Bayern has conceded in 4 of their last 5 home games in this tournament.
Predicted lineup for Bayern Munich (4-5-1)
Manuel Neuer – Kim Min-jae, Dayot Upamecano, Konrad Laimer, Raphael Guerreiro – Alexander Pavlovic, Michael Olise, Kingsley Coman, Jamal Musiala, Joshua Kimmich – Harry Kane.
Werder Bremen
In the last round, Bremen secured a hard-fought victory over Mainz (1-0), ending a four-match winless streak in the league (2 draws, 2 losses). Moreover, Ole Werner's men kept a clean sheet for the first time in six Bundesliga matches. The three points helped the club climb into the top half of the league table, reducing the gap to the European competition zone to just one point.
Defenders Niklas Stark, Marco Friedl, and head coach Ole Werner will miss the upcoming game due to suspensions.
- The team has scored in 8 of their last 9 league matches.
- Bremen has not lost in 9 of their last 12 away Bundesliga games (6 wins, 3 draws).
- Werder has not conceded more than two goals in 5 of their last 7 away matches in this tournament.

Michael Zetterer – Anthony Jung, Marco Friedl, Niklas Stark – Leonardo Bittencourt, Senne Lynen, Mitchell Weiser, Romano Schmid, Issa Kaboré – Marvin Ducksch, Justin Njinmah.

Bayern Munich vs. Werder Bremen: Match Prediction
Bremen paid a high price for their victory in the last round. Now, Werder faces a game in Munich without a pair of their main central defenders. Even with their optimal lineup, Ole Werner's defense has not been impressive, having conceded 36 goals, a tally worse than only four other clubs in the tournament. Without Marco Friedl, the team's defense looks catastrophic. In this championship, Friedl missed three matches, during which Werder conceded 11 goals, including a 0-5 loss to Bayern in the first round.
Munich has scored at least three goals in each of their last 8 home Bundesliga matches. Visits to the Allianz Arena often end disastrously for Bremen, as they have conceded at least four goals in 9 of their last 12 Bundesliga encounters there. Given the current defensive issues of the visitors, exacerbated by personnel losses, I don't expect anything positive for Bremen in the upcoming game.
