Werder Bremen vs Bayern Munich Prediction & Betting Tips (18 August)

Werder Bremen is a historic emblem in the German League, but last season they had a very modest campaign, finishing in thirteenth place with 36 points added, just 3 above the waterline. The men of the house are looking to have a much more relaxed season this year, managing to guarantee maintenance more quickly so as not to be at risk of relegation in the final stretch of the race. Bayern Munich is looking for its twelfth consecutive title, a historic record in the Bundesliga.

Last season, the Bavarians only managed to secure the title on the last day and because Borussia Dortmund surprisingly drew at home on the last day against Mainz. Bayern Munich lost the final of the German Super Cup last weekend against RB Leipzig 0-3 and will certainly want to come in strong and quickly decide the match.

This summer, Werder was able to keep a good part of its executives but it nevertheless let go of the promising midfielder Schmidt (3 goals last year) who left for Toulouse, as well as the defenders with good potential Chiarodia (Mönchengladbach ) and Buchanan (Birmingham). On the other hand, the leaders were able to attract the midfielder Keïta who arrived free from Liverpool. Other good shots to report, the recruitment of the Polish striker Kownacki (Fortuna Düsseldorf), author of 14 goals and 9 assists last year in Bundesliga 2, and that of the middle Lynen (Union Saint-Gilloise). In addition to this, the locals have managed to keep their formidable attacking duo Fullkrug (16 goals, 5 assists) and Ducksch (12 goals, 6 assists) who were one of the most prolific in the Bundesliga last year. For this first meeting of the season, defenders Jung and Agu, midfielder recruited this summer Naby Keïta and striker Kownacki, victim of a broken nose, should miss the call. Never really convincing since their arrival in Bavaria last year, goalkeeper Sommer (Inter), side Blind (Girona) and Joao Cancelo (City, return from loan) and Senegalese striker Mané (Al-Nassr) have already left . In addition, midfielder Sabitzer (Dortmund) and tricolor defender Lucas Hernandez (PSG) also wanted to leave FCB.

Conversely, the defending champion wanted to hit hard by recruiting the solid Min-Jae Kim (Naples) in central defense and Harry Kane (Tottenham). The arrival of the Englishman in number 9 will bring a profile which the Bavarians missed a lot last year. Note also the recruitment of the excellent Guerreiro (Dortmund) and the very good midfielder Laimer (Leipzig) who both arrived free. For this debut in the Bundesliga, Thomas Tuchel should be deprived of goalkeeper Neuer whose leg injury drags on, long-term injured midfielder Marusic, rookie Guerreiro and forwards Müller (7 goals, 8 assists last year ) and Choupo-Moting (10 goals). On the other hand, the formidable wingers Koman (5 goals) and Gnabry (14 goals) are available, as is the hero of the last day, Musiala (12 goals, 10 assists) who gave the title to his team by scoring the goal of the won against Cologne last May.
