Bayern Munich-Werder Bremen betting preview
Bayern Munich will have a minor distraction on this Saturday ahead of its all-important mid-week clash against Real Madrid. Werder Bremen, an old foe, comes calling. The match is meaningless, in championship or relegation stakes. Bayern Munich has clinched the Bundesliga crown. And Werder Bremen has almost avoided relegation. If they get one more point from their remaining three games, they will be safe.
This match is a good opportunity for the Werder Bremen side to secure what has become a rare win in recent times against Bayern. It has been six years since they won against the reigning champions. Bayern Munich has won all their seven previous meetings. Werder Bremen will not forget the last two defeats: 7-0 earlier in the season at Bremen and 6-1 in the last season at Munich.
However, there is unlikely to be an encore. Pep Guardiola is likely to rest his top players, keeping an eye on the Champions League semi final against Madrid. Their 1-0 defeat at Madrid has made this match a must-win one.
The problem with Bremen is their own indifferent form. Apart from their win against Bayer Leverkusen, they have not won a against a top-five team in this season. Almost all their wins were against bottom-ranked teams.
None of the usual suspects will play for Bayern. Bremen is likely to field their full-strength team. Clemens Fritz is their only unlikely starter. This is a good chance for their strikers Nils Petersen and Aaron Hunt to score against Bayern Munich.
