*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Werder Bremen produced a heroic display with ten men to beat Mainz 2-1 last weekend, though they should find the going much tougher against free-scoring Bayern and the markets have given the hosts just a 14.3% chance of winning on Saturday.
Bayern Munich scored a mammoth nine times in their win over Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League in midweek and they are emphatic odds-on favourites to collect three points at Werder Bremen on their return to domestic action.
