Bundesliga Match Preview: Werder Bremen vs. Bayern Munich
Bavarian Giants Seek Redemption After Shock Champions League Loss
In the wake of their stunning Champions League exit at the hands of Villarreal, Bayern Munich will look to regain their domestic dominance when they travel to Werder Bremen on Saturday for a crucial Bundesliga clash.
The German champions suffered a shock defeat in Spain on Tuesday, falling 2-1 to the La Liga outfit to crash out of Europe's top competition in the quarterfinals. The loss marked a major setback for Bayern, who had been among the favorites to lift the trophy.
Now, Julian Nagelsmann's side will be eager to make amends when they face Bremen, who are currently languishing in 12th place in the Bundesliga standings. The Bavarians have won their last three league games, scoring 10 goals in the process, and will be confident of extending that run against the relegation-threatened hosts.
Werder Bremen Aim to Upset Bayern Again
Bremen, who have enjoyed a resurgence under manager Ole Werner this season, will be no pushovers for Bayern. The Green-Whites have lost just once in their last five league games, including a 1-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund last month.
Werner's side will be looking to upset Bayern once again after holding the champions to a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
Key Players to Watch
* Bayern Munich: Robert Lewandowski, Leroy Sane, Thomas Muller * Werder Bremen: Niclas Fullkrug, Marvin Ducksch, Mitchell WeiserPrediction
Bayern Munich will be heavily favored to win this match, but Werder Bremen have shown that they can be a difficult opponent to break down. The hosts will be looking to frustrate Bayern's attacking players and take advantage of any mistakes from the champions.
However, Bayern's superior quality should ultimately prevail, and the visitors should be able to secure a comfortable victory to keep their title hopes alive.
