Bayern Munich must ensure that they avoid losing control of the Bundesliga title race when they face hosts Werder Bremen on Saturday at Weserstadion.
The Bavarians' 5-1 triumph against Hoffenheim last weekend increased their points total to 54 – six more than second-placed Borussia Dortmund – but the home team are 16th in the relegation playoff spot with just 19 points.

Werder Bremen vs Bayern Munich prediction: Bayern's attacking dominance continues
Key stats
- Bayern Munich have scored at least four goals in 13 matches this season.
- Werder Bremen have failed to score in six of their past eight fixtures.
- Bayern have conceded as many goals in their last five games (six) as they did in their prior seven.
Correct score prediction: Werder Bremen 1-4 Bayern Munich
Bayern have looked much more vulnerable at the back in recent weeks, and though their opponents have struggled in front of goal, the visitors must be careful to not concede counter-attacks.
The Bavarians should still be expected to come away with three points, especially as Bremen's performances have been consistently poor.

Werder Bremen preview: At risk of relegation
Though Werder Bremen are by no means doomed in their quest for survival – they are level on points with 15th-placed Wolfsburg – they have failed to win any of their past 11 fixtures.
Considering that striker Victor Boniface is expected to miss a considerable period due to a knee injury, fans will almost certainly see Keke Topp start as a number nine.
Predicted lineup: Backhaus (GK), Malatini, Friedl, Coulibaly, Sugawara, Stage, Lynen, Schmid, Agu, Grull & Topp
Last five results:
- 07/02/26: Freiburg 1-0 Werder Bremen (Bundesliga)
- 31/01/26: Werder Bremen 1-1 Borussia Monchengladbach (Bundesliga)
- 27/01/26: Werder Bremen 0-2 Hoffenheim (Bundesliga)
- 24/01/26: Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 Werder Bremen (Bundesliga)
- 16/01/26: Werder Bremen 3-3 Eintracht Frankfurt (Bundesliga)
Bayern Munich preview: Back to winning ways
Following their victory against Hoffenheim, Vincent Kompany guided his side to a 2-0 win against RB Leipzig on Wednesday in the DFB-Pokal, whereas they had drawn one, lost one and won one of their prior three outings.
Bayern's right-winger Michael Olise is suspended due to the accumulation of too many yellow cards, and his absence could lead to a start for teenager Lennart Karl.
Predicted lineup: Neuer (GK), Stanisic, Tah, Kim, Davies, Kimmich, Goretzka, Karl, Musiala, Diaz & Kane
Last five results:
- 11/02/26: Bayern Munich 2-0 RB Leipzig (DFB-Pokal)
- 08/02/26: Bayern Munich 5-1 Hoffenheim (Bundesliga)
- 31/01/26: Hamburger SV 2-2 Bayern Munich (Bundesliga)
- 28/01/26: PSV Eindhoven 1-2 Bayern Munich (Champions League)
- 24/01/26: Bayern Munich 1-2 Augsburg (Bundesliga)
Player to watch: Lennart Karl
With Olise suspended, Bayern Munich will need creativity from other areas, and they may have to rely on winger Lennart Karl, who is only 17 years old.
The forward has started 10 times in the Bundesliga and has scored four goals and provided two assists, and he has also managed to regularly create chances thanks to his excellent dribbling ability.
