Bundesliga 2025-2026: Werder Bremen-Bayern Munich, the likely lineups

Bayern Munich visits Werder Bremen in the 22nd day of the Bundesliga. The match scheduled for 3:30 p.m. at the Weserstadion promises goals and entertainment. Werder is coming off a very negative moment: the green-and-whites cover the third-last position in the standings and have not won since November. On the other side, the Bavarians must respond to Borussia Dortmund, which beat Mainz 4-0 in the advance match, to get back to +6 on the Yellow and Black.

The Bavarians will have to win the match.

Thioune will still have to do without the injured Pieper in defense: confirmed Malatini with Friedl and Coulibaly, while Backhaus will be defending the posts. In the midfield Lynen will be in the booth, with Sugawara and Agu on either side of him, while the attack will be formed by the Njinmah-Mbangula pair.

Vincent Kompany has to forgo the disqualified Olise: in his place the very young Karl along with Gnabry and Luis Diaz to complete the three-quarter behind Kane’s only point. Midfield dike formed by Kimmich and Bischof, defense headed by the Upamecano-Kim pair, between the posts Neuer.

Probable lineups

Werder Bremen (3-3-3-2): Backhaus; Malatini, Friedl, Coulibaly; Sugawara, Lynen, Agu; Schmid, Stage; Njinmah, Mbangula. All. Thioune

Bayern Munich (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Stanisic, Upamecano, Kim, Ito; Kimmich, Bischof; Karl, Gnabry, Díaz; Kane. All. Kompany
