Bayern Munich vs Werder Bremen Bundesliga Match Preview or Key Statistics 📊
This will be the 109th Bundesliga meeting between FC Bayern and Werder Bremen, surpassing the Nordderby between Werder and Hamburger SV (108) as the most-played top-flight fixture.
Bayern are unbeaten in 27 competitive meetings with Bremen (W24, D3, aggregate scoreline: 84-17). They’ve won all of the last 22 games against Werder – the longest ongoing winning run in a single fixture in German professional football since the Bundesliga was founded in 1963. Werder’s last win against FCB came in Munich in September 2008 (5-2).
FC Bayern have won 33 of their last 34 games across all competitions (lost 4-1 at Hoffenheim on MD2). They’ve since won all of their last 10 matches.
Bayern have conceded 11 goals this season – the most of all teams in the top third of the table. They last let in as many goals at this stage 12 years ago under Jürgen Klinsmann (13 in 2008/09).
Werder are unbeaten in their last six Bundesliga games (W2, D4), something they last managed at the start of the second half of the 2018/19 season (12 games back then). Their only loss this term came on the opening day at home to Hertha BSC (4-1).
Werder’s last four games have all ended in 1-1 draws. Only one other Bundesliga side has ever recorded the same result in five consecutive games: Leverkusen at the turn of the year in 1980/81 (five 1-1 draws in a row).
Bremen have lost just one of their last eight Bundesliga away games, spanning multiple seasons (W4, D3): 3-1 in Mainz on matchday 33 of 2019/20. Seven of Werder’s last nine BL wins have come on the road.
Bayern’s Robert Lewandowski has scored 19 goals in his last 16 competitive games against Werder, most recently netting the winner in Bremen in June 2020 (1-0). He has equalled his own Bundesliga record, set last season, with 11 goals in seven games.
Bayern’s Manuel Neuer is on the cusp of his 400th competitive appearance for the Bavarians. He could also keep his 196th Bundesliga clean sheet, equalling Oliver Kahn’s record.
Hansi Flick will take charge of his 50th competitive game as Bayern head coach. His record so far includes 45 wins, one draw and three losses. No other coach in German professional football has ever recorded as many wins in their first 50 games.
