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 secured their sixth consecutive Bundesliga victory in the last round. After scoring four goals against Holstein, the Munich team relaxed towards the end, allowing their opponents to close the gap to a minimum – 4:3. Notably, this was only the second time this season that Bayern conceded more than two goals. The team is currently 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 matches.
- The club has won their last 8 home matches in the league.

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). This was also the first time in six Bundesliga games that Ole Werner's side kept a clean sheet. The three points helped the club climb into the top half of the 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. Midfielder Leonardo Bittencourt is injured.
- The team has scored in 8 of their last 9 league matches.

Bayern Munich vs. Werder Bremen: Match Prediction
Bremen paid a high price for their victory in the last round. Now, Werder will have to face Munich without their main central defenders. Even with a full squad, Ole Werner's side struggles defensively, having conceded 36 goals, with only four teams in the league faring worse. Without Marco Friedl, their defense looks catastrophic. In the current season, Friedl missed three matches, during which Werder conceded 11 goals, including a 0:5 defeat to Bayern in the first round.
Bayern has scored at least three goals in their last eight Bundesliga home games. A visit to the Allianz Arena often results in heavy defeats for Bremen, who have conceded at least four goals in 9 of their last 12 league meetings. Given the current defensive issues for the visitors, exacerbated by personnel losses, I don't expect anything positive for Bremen in the upcoming match.
