Home - Bayern Munich
- Our FC Bayern Munich vs SV Werder Bremen prediction is that Bayern Munich are the overwhelming -1666 favorites to beat 14th-placed Werder Bremen on Friday in what promises to be a contrast of tactical styles in the opening game of the Bundesliga round.
- Bayern Munich have won three consecutive home games in all competitions this season, recording two wins from two Bundesliga home fixtures and scoring 11 goals in the process.
- A 3-1 win at Chelsea in the Champions League last week has Bayern on a five-game winning streak.
Away - Werder Bremen
- The fact that Werder Bremen are the current 14th-placed team in the Bundesliga with four points from four matches is testament to how tough the Bundesliga is and further highlights this FC Bayern Munich vs SV Werder Bremen prediction.
- Horst Steffen took over in July 2025 and has changed the structure of the club to play with a back four with a bit more freedom to build up from the back in a more organised fashion.
- Steffen has put a greater emphasis on organised attacking play and, while there’s no doubting the positive intent, the cracks are still showing in their defense, a key consideration for any FC Bayern Munich vs SV Werder Bremen preview.
Head-to-Head
- Bayern have won four of the last five Bundesliga meetings between the teams including a 3-0 victory at home seven months ago.
- Bayern have averaged 1.5 goals per game in Munich across the last five head-to-head meetings while Bremen have only scored 0.5 times as visitors.
Key Players
- Bayern Munich
- Komppany has introduced a high line, high-press system where the ball is passed out of the defence very well and the midfield moves the play from one side of the pitch to the other.
- Bayern can transition from a 4-2-3-1 formation to a 4-3-3 in an instant to overload the centre of the field with three attackers and Joshua Kimmich’s deep-lying playmaker role is crucial to it.
- Jamal Musiala provides the creativity and dribbling flair to unlock defences and Harry Kane is the talisman.
- Werder Bremen
- Bremen have some nice players too, notably Justin Njinmah, who can run at defenders and finish off chances.
- Marvin Ducksch is also a threat in the hole and from set pieces, but Bremen are a long way from challenging Bayern on their home soil.
Betting Insights
- The bookies have Werder at +1895 in the match result market and the odds are probably generous even to Bayern, who have won all four of their Bundesliga matches in 2025/2026. For those seeking FC Bayern Munich vs SV Werder Bremen betting tips, Bayern's winning momentum is noteworthy.
- Backing Bayern to win with a minus-2 handicap is worth a look given their goal-scoring ability at home and Werder’s leaky away defense.
Prediction
This FC Bayern Munich vs SV Werder Bremen prediction highlights a great test for Steffen’s new-look team early in his tenure at the Bremen club and Bayern Munich will be determined to prove that they are the most likely title winner in the Bundesliga again.
