Bayern Munich hopes to build on their goal-scoring momentum and defeat hosts Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga at Weserstadion on Saturday following a dominant victory in the Champions League on Tuesday.
After three matchweeks, Bayern leads the table with nine points, while the host team is in eighth place with five points from their first three league games of the year.
In their most recent league game on September 15, the hosts defeated Mainz 05 despite being down to 10 men in the 60th minute with a 1-1 score. Derrick Kohn's winner in the 69th minute made sure they departed with all three points.
On August 31, Werder Bremen and Nuri Sahin's Borussia Dortmund drew 0-0 in their Bundesliga season opener. Despite Nico Schlotterbeck, a BVB defender, being sent off in the 74th minute, Werder Bremen was unable to capitalize on the situation.
To their credit, Die Werderaner's league debut is undefeated, which is a significant improvement from their 2023–24 performance, where they dropped their opening two games before winning their third.
Although his club has created the equal second-fewest major chances among the 18 teams in the Bundesliga, head coach Ole Werner will be happy that his squad has given up the fewest points per game.
In their previous nine competitive games, Werder Bremen has won five and drawn four times to avoid loss.
