Bayern Munich faces a crucial match against Werder Bremen at Weserstadion on Saturday, February 12, 2026. Currently leading the Bundesliga with 54 points, Bayern is only six points ahead of Borussia Dortmund, who are poised to close the gap if they secure victory. In contrast, Werder Bremen finds itself struggling in 16th place with just 19 points after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Freiburg on February 7.
This recent loss marks Bremen’s ongoing challenges, as they produced a disappointing 0.97 xG and failed to capitalize on a one-man advantage during the match. With a winless streak stretching to 11 Bundesliga games, which is the longest in the league, the team is under pressure. Bremen manager Daniel Thioune, appointed earlier in February, must find a way to revitalize a squad that has struggled to score, failing to hit the net in seven of those matches and conceding two or more goals six times.
Despite their current woes, Bremen’s home form shows some promise as they have managed to draw three and lose two of their last five games at Weserstadion, with a prior successful run at home earlier in the season. However, their next challenge against the formidable Bayern side spells trouble.
Bayern Munich recently showcased their offensive prowess by thrashing Hoffenheim 5-1, creating over six xG and scoring five goals, marking the eighth occasion this season they have tallied five or more goals in a match. Additionally, they advanced to the DFB-Pokal semifinals with a 2-0 victory over RB Leipzig. Under coach Vincent Kompany, Bayern enters the match undefeated in four games, with three wins and an impressive record of 11 goals scored during that span. They are also unbeaten in their last seven away matches.
In terms of team news, Bremen’s striker Victor Boniface remains sidelined due to a knee injury, leaving Keke Topp likely to lead the line. Defensive uncertainties arise with injuries to Amos Pieper and Niklas Stark, suggesting a reshuffled backline. For Bayern, winger Michael Olise is suspended, with teenager Lennart Karl expected to step in alongside Luis Diaz on the left flank.
Looking ahead, predictions favor Bayern Munich to maintain their dominant form against Bremen, and it would not be surprising to see them secure a decisive victory. Both teams have a lot at stake, with Bayern seeking to solidify their lead in the title race while Bremen fights to escape relegation danger. The match is sure to be an exciting clash, with Bayern’s attacking strength pitted against Bremen’s desperate need for points.
