Werder Bremen vs Bayern Munich Prediction: A win for the away team

Bayern Munich, who is currently atop the Bundesliga, will visit a struggling Werder Bremen at the Weserstadion on Saturday 6th May. Both sides have specific goals going into this matchup. The Bavarians are attempting to avoid suffering a third straight loss away from home, while the River Islanders have lost each of their last three games at home.

Werder Bremen, who are now ranked 12th in the Bundesliga rankings, have struggled so far this year. The host team lost to FC Schalke 04 last week by a score of 2-1, thus they will need to win this game.

On the other side, although currently leading the league table, Bayern Munich has not played at its peak level thus far this year. The 2-0 victory over Hertha Berlin in their previous match was a breeze for the Bavarian juggernauts, and they will aim for a repeat performance this weekend.

This seems to be a straight win as Bayern will wat to maintain its position at the top of the table.

There is still more that Werder Bremen needs to accomplish before the season is over. The home team sits with a respectable margin above the relegation zone with 35 points after four games of the season. They now stand 7 points better than Bochum, who is in 16th place.

Werner will therefore be aware that Bremen only needs one more victory to secure their place in the top division. They would have hoped for a better run of form going into this difficult encounter, though, since they have already lost 7 of their last 8 league games.

While they broke a six-game losing streak against last-place Hertha Berlin, Bremen's prior defeat against Schalke brought them back to earth. Despite having a 10-minute lead, the opponents used Sepp van den Berg and Dominick Drexler as substitutions to win. They now have the chance to finally beat Bayern, a team they haven't defeated since 2008.

Werder Bremen's preparation has been hampered by a number of ailments before their Saturday match against Bayern. The most notable of these is the potential absence of Bundesliga leading scorer Niclas Fullkrug due to a calf issue. Although Bremen hasn't totally ruled out the striker, Maximilian Philipp will be a part of the team's assault if he fails the late fitness test. Additionally unavailable due to injury are Felix Agu, Dikeni Salifou, and Eren Dinkci.

The coach will most likely play a 3-5-2 formation with the lineup below. 

Goalkeeper: Pavlenka; 

Defenders: Veljkovic, Friedl, Stark; 

Midfielders: Weiser, Bittencourt, Gross, Stage, Jung; 

Strikers: Ducksch, Fullkrug

Bayern Munich beat bottom-placed Hertha Berlin after working hard to halt their four-game losing streak across all competitions. The bottom-feeding team pushed Thomas Tuchel's team to win; it wasn't an easy victory.

Serge Gnabry of Bayern took 69 minutes to score the game's first goal. However, ten minutes later, a strike by Kingsley Coman gave the two teams some breathing room. Tuchel will not rely on the past, especially given that they have a history of winning the last 10 Bundesliga championships before the final four games.

Borussia Dortmund is only one point behind Bayern in the standings, but they were unable to capitalize on Bayern's recent struggles. In the rematch, the Bavarians seek to duplicate the outcome they achieved against Bremen and maintain pressure on Bremen for the league crown, preferably by scoring some additional points.

Before deciding on his starting lineup, Tuchel will work hard to replace a number of injured players. Long-term absentees continue to be Lucas Hernandez and Manuel Neuer. The other personnel missing are Eric Maxim Chuopo Moting, Dayot Upamecano, and Alphonso Davies. Leon Goretzka is unavailable due to suspension. 

The coach will most likely play a 4-2-3-1 formation with the lineup below. 

Goalkeeper: Sommer; 

Defenders: Mazraoui, Pavard, De Ligt, Cancelo; 

Midfielders: Kimmich, Gravenberch; Gnabry, Musiala, Coman; 

Striker: Mane

Bayern Munich will be under intense pressure from Dortmund going into this match and will respond appropriately. To achieve this goal, Tuchel will have to make his team play with ruthless efficiency, and his players will probably comply.

Despite being comfortably out of the running for relegation, Bremen will struggle coming into this match. Although the Bavarians are the clear favorites to win three points, they might give up at any point, ideally when they are comfortably ahead.

A win for the away side is expected with a scoreline of 1-3 or 1-4. Also, expect over 1.5 shots from the attacking midfielders and strikers.
