Team News

Werder Bremen
Bayern
  • Bundesliga top scorer Niclas Füllkrug is struggling with a calf problem but may return for this showcase affair. Dikeni-Rafid Salifou is ruled out with a foot injury. Felix Agu needs an op on a nagging patella tendon injury, but otherwise, barring late injuries, coach Ole Werner should be able to call on a full strength squad.
  • Leon Goretzka is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card. Alphonso Davies suffered a thigh injury and is ruled out for a few weeks, while Eric Choupo-Moting is struggling to shake off a knee injury, and Dayot Upamecano is out with a muscle tear. Lucas Hernández continues his recovery from an ACL injury.

Prediction

  • Seeking an 11th Bundesliga title in succession, Bayern regained their lead at the top with only their third win in eight games in all comps under new coach Thomas Tuchel.
  • Promoted Bremen have only picked up one point in their last 22 Bundesliga games against Bayern and lost the reverse fixture 6-1 in Munich.
  • Despite the perennial champions patchy form, anything other than a comfortable away win would be a major surprise.
