Reasons to Root for Bayern Munich
The Bavarians have won 14 straight games at Weserstadion and haven’t lost a season opener in 21 years. Last year, they won a road game against Werder Bremen by a score of 2-1 with to second-half goals from forward Serge Gnabry and winger Leroy Sane. The 28-year-old Gnabry, who led Bayern with 14 goals last season, also scored a hat trick in an early season 6-1 home win against Werder Bremen.
The thrashing was started in the sixth minute by a conversion by Jamal Musiala. After scoring 11 times in 56 games throughout his first two seasons, the 20-year-old midfielder ranked second on the Bavarians with 12 goals in 33 games in 2022-23. He led the team in assists with 10, enough for third-most in the Bundesliga. Sane, who had seven assists, and winger Kingsley Coman both scored eight goals, and forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting scored ten goals, reaching double digits for the first time since 2013–14 with Mainz.

Motives for supporting For Werder Bremen
The Green-Whites have lost their last eight opening games in a row and are hoping to break the streak this year. Last season, the team’s final 12 games were a disaster, with only one victory. It also struggled in Weserstadion, where it has gone 4-2-1 in its last five games.
Despite some late-season struggles, Bremen finished the season with a winning record of 11 games and a 1-0 loss to Union Berlin. Niclas Fullkrug, who tied Christopher Nkunku of RB Leipzig for the league lead in goals with 16 in 2022–23, is a dangerous scoring threat for them up front. Marvin Ducksch, a striker, has offensive prowess, as he tied for sixth place in the Bundesliga with 12 goals, along with four other players. Find out the squad to support here.
