Bayern Munich vs Werder Bremen | Football Previews & Free Betting Tips | Bundesliga | 26th September 2025

🗞️ Introduction

Bayern Munich host Werder Bremen at the Allianz Arena on 26 September 2025 in a Bundesliga clash that pits the champions-in-waiting against an improving mid-table side. Bayern are flying at the top end of the table, combining ruthless finishing with control of possession, while Bremen arrive buoyed by a recent win but face a stern test in Munich. The atmosphere is expected to be electric, with a packed home crowd and a decent contingent of travelling supporters adding to the occasion. Tactically, Bayern are likely to stick to their high-possession game with a fluid attacking line, while Bremen will focus on compact defensive blocks and quick breaks through the middle and wide channels.

🔑 Tactical Trends

Bayern average 65% possession and build patiently from the back, funnelling much of their play through central midfield triangles before spreading wide. Their high defensive line means they squeeze opponents into their own half, with pressing triggers around the halfway line. Bremen, on the other hand, average just under 50% of the ball and lean heavily on counter-attacks. They tackle and intercept more often (around 29 defensive actions per game combined), and a lot of their forward play is directed down the wings, looking to stretch teams on transitions.

📋 Form

Bayern are unbeaten in nine of their last ten matches, with a record of 7 wins, 2 draws and just 1 defeat. They’ve scored 25 and conceded only 7 in that run, keeping five clean sheets. Bremen’s record is more modest at 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses from their last ten, scoring 12 and conceding 13, with only a couple of clean sheets. Bayern’s form suggests dominance, while Bremen’s figures point to resilience but also vulnerability, especially when under sustained pressure.
