Bayern Munich vs Werder Bremen
The international break is over which means that the Bundesliga is back to regular programming.
This weekend, the mighty Bayern Munich will continue their journey for their ninth consecutive championship as they will host Werder Bremen over at the Allianz Arena.
Prior to the break, Hansi Flick’s men are fresh from a victory over their rivals in Borussia Dortmund in the most recent Der Klassiker.
The match was as good as advertised since it featured a scintillating goalfest from both sides, but the defending champions showed their mettle to pull away in the end.
So coming into this weekend, they will be feeling good about themselves as they are entering an easier part of their schedule.
Meanwhile, Werder Bremen are looking for improvement although their recent Bundesliga 2020 results have been encouraging.
Die Werderaner bucked a horrific start by accumulating 10 points as of the moment, and they are hovering between the eighth to 11th spots since they’re level with VfB Stuttgart, Augsburg, and Eintracht Frankfurt.
The SBOTOP betting tips see this as an easy win for the hosts, but can the visitors prove us wrong?
Talking Points
Bayern Munich’s worst enemy are themselves
Hansi Flick’s men have maintained their torrid start to their 2020/21 campaign despite facing minor bumps in the road, primarily because of injuries and COVID-19.
Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry, and Alphonso Davies were the casualties of such early on, but their depth is what keeps them above all the other teams here in the Bundesliga.
Last week’s fixture versus Borussia Dortmund showed why they’re dangerous when they flip the switch as David Alaba, Robert Lewandowski, and Leroy Sane provided enough firepower to break down the Yellow Wall.
But right now there’s a bigger concern for Hansi Flick’s side as the transfer market is slowly approaching.
Bayern would need to work on a resolution regarding David Alaba’s expiring contract as the Austrian defender couldn’t come to terms with the club and several rivals are closely monitoring the situation.
Real Madrid, Juventus, and Barcelona are some of the teams who will be coveting for the 28-year-old’s services should he become a free agent, and one can argue that losing him will hurt their backline immensely.
Werder Bremen are well-rested
Die Werderaner may have gathered points in their last few matches, but they would need to do a whole lot better if they want a chance to upset the defending champions.
Werder Bremen are hopeful that their renewed energy will translate to a positive result since they were well-rested during the international break.
Because of the COVID-19 safety protocols that are implemented in key parts of Germany, they opted not to release all of their players during the hiatus, which includes USMNT star Josh Sargent.
The 20-year-old forward is expected to feature in the starting XI this weekend, and he will be a marked man for the Bavarian giants’ defence despite only scoring one goal so far this term.
History
Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen have faced each other so many times, and it’s not surprising that the former owns a huge edge in the overall head-to-heads.
The Bavarian giants have won in 34 matches, while Die Werderaner won only in nine occasions along with nine draws.
Although Bayern Munich have been virtually unbeatable in this matchup, Werder Bremen came close during their previous meeting in June.
Hansi Flick’s group was reduced to 10 men when Alphonso Davies was given a red card, but Robert Lewandowski’s early goal was enough to pull them through.
Betting Tip

Bayern Munich vs Werder Bremen | Bayern Munich Asian Handicap -2.50 @ 1.86 |
| November 21, 22:30 (GMT+8) |
Placing your bets for a Bayern Munich victory is probably the most no-brainer bet for this weekend’s set of fixtures.
The Bundesliga 2020 odds have the defending champions winning at 1.12, while Werder Bremen are far behind at 12.50 and a draw is at 10.00 in the 1X2 market.
Goals are to be expected particularly from the Bavarian giants, but not much from Die Werderaner. So going for Total Goals 2-3 @ 1.87 or Under 2.50 @ 2.25 are good wagers as well.
While Florian Kohfeldt’s men are in decent form in the last six matches, it is very unlikely that they’ll shave points off of a powerful Bayern Munich squad.
Bayern Munich are one of the hottest teams in the Bundesliga right now. And barring any unforeseen circumstances, Hansi Flick’s men may very well be on their way to take home the crown by season’s end again.
