Bundesliga Preview: Bremen in High Spirits Aiming to Secure Points at Home, Bayern Munich Set for All-Out Attack to Avenge Last Season’s Defeat

At 21:30 on September 21st, the German Bundesliga will see its fourth round match, with Werder Bremen hosting Bayern Munich at home.

Currently, Werder Bremen has achieved one win and two draws in the first three rounds, earning five points and temporarily ranking 8th in the league. In these three matches, they scored four goals and conceded three, demonstrating a relatively balanced performance on both offense and defense. Notably, two of their first three games were away matches, and such results have somewhat exceeded fans’ expectations. In their first home game, they managed a 0-0 draw against Borussia Dortmund. Playing at home again in this match, they hope to once more pose challenges to the giants.

In their last game, the team defeated Mainz 2-1 while playing with one man down, greatly boosting morale. Historically, Werder Bremen has always been one of Bayern’s nemesis teams, and they have sufficient confidence to snatch victory from the jaws of the tiger in this match. Regarding injuries, Dahman, Kimma, and Velikovic are all out due to injuries, while Friedl and Keita remain suspended.

Bayern Munich secured three consecutive wins in their first three games, aiming to reclaim the Bundesliga title lost last season. The team’s form is getting better, narrowly winning 3-2 against Wolfsburg in the first round, then beating Freiburg 2-0 in the second round, and most recently thrashing Kiel 6-1. Currently, the team is in excellent form, and the players are eagerly anticipating upcoming matches. In three games, they scored an astonishing 11 goals, averaging nearly four per game, but also conceded three, indicating that the defense still needs improvement.

Not only are they performing outstandingly in the league, but Bayern is also dominating in the UEFA Champions League. In their last Champions League match, Bayern won 9-2 against Dinamo Zagreb, marking their second big victory within four days. On the injury front, Neuer remains unavailable with no return date set, while Boy, Stanisic, Peretz, Buchmann, and Ito Yohei are all sidelined due to injuries.

In the past ten encounters between the two sides, Bayern has achieved eight wins, one draw, and one loss. However, it was precisely in January this year when Bremen beat Bayern 1-0, which became a turning point in Bayern’s season and a key reason for their failure to retain the title. In this match, Bayern is bound to launch an all-out attack to wash away the shame of last season’s defeat.
