The Allianz Arena will be agog tonight for the 117th Bundesliga encounter between Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen. Softfootball understands that this fixture is one of the most contested in the league's history.
Traditionally one of the Bundesliga's great rivalries, the balance has tilted heavily in Bayern's favor in recent years. While the Bavarian giants have lost more league games to Werder Bremen 27 than to any club except Borussia Monchengladbach 28, they have suffered defeat in just one of their last 31 Bundesliga meetings with Bremen a 0-1 home loss in January 2024.
Heading into this matchday, Bayern aim to extend their domestic winning streak to five games, with Vincent Kompany's side showing no signs of slowing down. The team will be seeking to extend their perfect run of the season, having defeated Hoffenheim 4-1 in their last Bundesliga encounter.
