Match Overview
On Friday, February 7, 2025, Bayern Munich will host Werder Bremen in a Bundesliga encounter at the Allianz Arena in Munich. The kick-off time is set for 20:30 local time (22:30 Nairobi time).
Bayern Munich currently sit second in the Bundesliga and will be keen on securing three crucial points to keep their title hopes alive. Werder Bremen will not be worried much about the result of this match but would look forward to springing an upset over the defending champions.
Current Form and Head-to-Head Stats
- Bayern Munich: The Bavarians have amassed good form, with four wins in the last five matches from the Bundesliga; their attacking prowess, spearheaded by Harry Kane, Leroy Sané, and Jamal Musiala, has been unstoppable.
- Werder Bremen: Bremen has had a pretty inconsistent campaign. The team has managed only two wins in the last six matches in the league. They will thus need a concrete defensive display that keeps Bayern's array of superstars up front at bay.
- Head-to-Head: Historically, Bayern Munich has kept the upper hand in this fixture as they have won 13 of the last 14 meetings between both sides. In fact, the last time Werder Bremen defeated Bayern in the Bundesliga was in 2008.
**Match Prediction
With Bayern at home and having the better squad depth, they go into this tie as clear favorites. A likely outcome is a 3-0 win for Bayern, but Werder Bremen will try to make the score respectable.
