Werder Bremen vs Bayern München

This will be the 115th Bundesliga meeting between Werder Bremen and FC Bayern, making it the most-played fixture in the division’s history. Only Borussia Mönchengladbach (28 times) have beaten Bayern more often than Werder have in the Bundesliga (27), while Bremen have suffered more defeats to FCB than versus any other team (61, also D26).

Werder Bremen’s 1-0 win away at FC Bayern in January this year ended their 32-game winless run against them in all competitions. Bayern have won each of their last 15 competitive matches in Bremen, the longest ever winning run of any team away at a single opponent in German professional football.

Only RB Leipzig (14 games) are currently on a longer unbeaten run in the Bundesliga than Werder Bremen (8). It’s Werder’s longest undefeated streak under Ole Werner, and they last managed a longer run from January to April 2019 under Florian Kohfeldt (12 games in a row without defeat back then).

FC Bayern are the only side to have won all three games in the Bundesliga this season, putting them top of the table for the first time since matchday 5 of last season. Bayern are winless in their last two Bundesliga games as league leaders (D1, L1), most recently winning while in first place at the start of May 2023 at Werder Bremen (2-1).

FC Bayern have won two consecutive Bundesliga away games for the first time in 2024, as many wins as they managed across their previous eight Bundesliga away matches combined. They could now win their opening three away games of a league season for the first time since 2015/16 under Pep Guardiola.
