Thomas Tuchel has announced Bayern Munich’s line-up for the away game against Werder Bremen. Ryan Gravenberch and Noussair Mazraoui have been given the chance from kick-off for a long time. Matthijs de Ligt is also in the base. Daley Blind starts again on the bench in Bremen. The match starts at 6:30 p.m. and can be viewed on via play.
Despite the fact that Bremen only won against last eight Bundesliga games against Hertha BSC, it can ensure another year at the highest level with a victory over Bayern. Coach Ole Werner owes this in particular to Niclas Füllkrug, who is the top scorer in the Bundesliga with his sixteen goals. However, the Germany international has been struggling with a calf injury for some time and will miss his fourth game in a row against Bayern. In addition to Füllkrug, Dikeni Salifou and Felix Agu are also missing. A victory over The Record Master would be quite unique, as it last happened in September 2008 (2-5). Earlier this season, Bremen lost no less than 6-1 in the Allianz Arena.
One of the goalscorers in that match was Leon Goretzka, who is not there this time due to a suspension. In addition, Tuchel cannot rely on the injured Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Josip Stanisic, Alphonso Davies, Dayot Upamecano, Lucas Hernández and Manuel Neuer. In addition, Bayern has not been performing great in away games lately, as the team has lost no less than four of its last six matches away from home. On the other hand, the Bavarian formation managed to win its last fifteen (!) duels at Werder. The last time there was a loss in the Weserstadion was in 2006. The Bayern of Mark van Bommel and Roy Makaay, who scored in that game, then went down 3-1.
