Bayern Munich's lethal attack led them to a record-breaking 9:2 victory over Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League. This result could shake Werder Bremen’s confidence, as they have struggled to find their defensive form this season.
Werder Bremen have kept only one clean sheet this season, against Borussia Dortmund (0:0), and that was partially due to Dortmund being reduced to ten men. Against Mainz 05 (2:1) on Sunday, they allowed a significant number of chances, making a draw a more logical outcome (1.81 xG vs vs 1.67 xG for). In that match, their captain and key defender Marco Friedl was sent off, and forward Justin Njinmah was injured, further depleting their lineup against the favourites.
Post-international break, Bayern Munich's attack appears unstoppable. Their thrashing of Dinamo Zagreb and a confident 6:1 victory over Holstein Kiel highlighted Harry Kane's incredible form in his German career: the Englishman has 9+1 over his last 259 minutes for both club and country. Only Bayer Leverkusen have a better xG than Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga this season (7.94 vs 10.08), but Bayern Munich will continue to improve in this regard.
Bayern Munich have consistently won in Bremen for the past 15 years. Last season, Werder Bremen suffered a 4:0 defeat against them, and a similar outcome is expected this time.
