Match Overview
The Weserstadion and its denizens will be keyed up for the return of the Bundesliga on Friday as Werder Bremen take on giants Bayern Munich in the first round of the new season. Bayern Munich, of course, have already played their first game of the season, the Super Cup clash against RB Leipzig, which they lost by a massive 0-3 scoreline.
Key Highlights
Having signed English striker Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur, Bayern Munich will feel that they can get the best out of him in this season's Bundesliga. Although he came on in the latter stages of the Super Cup game against Leipzig, Kane could not quite make a difference. Bremen's defenders will feel that they will have to be on their toes to keep this flashy Bayern attack at bay.
Injury Report
Naby Keita, Felix Agu and Anthony Jung are among some of the players who will not be available for Werder Bremen in this game. For Bayern Munich, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Thomas Mueller and Manuel Neuer are a few players who will miss out owing to injuries.
Prediction
Bayern Munich are the downright favourites to win this game. Despite losing to Leipzig last weekend, they will be keyed up to win this match- the first in the Bundesliga this season. Werder Bremen will try their best to avoid a washout but it will difficult to avoid. We expect Bayern Munich to win this game by a comfortable margin.
