Nine-goal-scoring Bayern back in Bundesliga after UCL win over Zagreb.
After securing their first win of the season, Werder Bremen face the formidable Bayern Munich, aiming for back-to-back victories in a historic 115th Bundesliga meeting at Weserstadion this Saturday at 14:30 GMT+1.
Werder Bremen
Ten-man Werder Bremen picked up a 2-1 maiden win over Mainz last weekend, thanks to a goal from Derrick Köhn, who came off the bench in the 69th minute. Centre back Marco Friedl received a red card in the 60th minute, leading to an early exit from the game, just nine minutes before the winner.
Bremen’s maiden victory earned them 8th place with 5 points on the board (1W, 2D, 0L). Despite a game against Bayern up next, Werder Bremen will be looking to earn back-to-back victories this weekend in what will be the 115th meeting between both sides, making it the most played fixture in the Bundesliga.
While the home side is without defeat in three opening games (DDW), they aim to extend an eight-game unbeaten Bundesliga run, which stretches back to last season. This is the longest unbeaten run under coach Ole Werner. No other side, except RB Leipzig with 14, has a longer unbeaten streak.
A 3-5-2 formation with Marvin Ducksch and Keke Topp leading the attack is expected for this weekend’s game. Marco Friedl is unavailable for this fixture following his red card against FSV Mainz.
FC Bayern München
Bayern Munich picked up the highest margin of victory in the opening round of the revamped UEFA Champions League format after Tuesday’s 9-2 win over Dinamo Zagreb. The win, which featured a haul from Harry Kane (19’ P., 57’, 73’ P., 78’ P.), helped the visitors become the first side to score 9+ goals in the history of the UEFA Champions League.
This remarkable victory also placed the Bavarians at the very top of the UCL league phase table despite having just as many points as 14 other sides. Back in the Bundesliga, a 6-1 win over Bundesliga debutants Holstein Kiel left Bayern at the top of the table as the only side to have won all opening three games [WWW].
With 9 points, Bayern Munich will be looking to return with their European form when they visit Weserstadion this weekend. Bayern’s remarkable run of 32 meetings without defeat in all competitions against the hosts came to an end the last time out when both sides faced each other nine months ago at the Allianz Arena (1-0 loss).
A win on Saturday would not only erase those memories but would earn Bayern Munich three opening away victories for the first time since the 2015/16 season under Pep Guardiola. A 4-2-3-1 formation with Harry Kane, whose hat trick formed part of the six goals against Holstein Kiel last time out, is anticipated.
