Leon Goretzka’s 85th minute winner on Saturday over Borussia Mönchengladbach put Bayern in the position to be acclaimed Champions.
It can be said they weren’t at their best at weekend, but that may have been down to the fact Thomas Müller and top scorer, Robert Lewandowski were unavailable. But they will be back in action this evening after they served their bans.
Their opponents, Werder Bremen are currently in the automatic relegation spots. However, they picked up a priceless 1-0 win at Paderborn on Saturday, which has sparked the belief they can beat the drop.
A point for Werder Bremen would take them out of the bottom two, ahead of Düsseldorf’s trip to RB Leipzig on Wednesday.
Werder Bremen will be without Nuri Sahin who has a hip problem, Omar Töprak who has an ankle injury, and Kevin Möhwald who has a knee injury.
Bayern will be without Corentin Tolisso who has an ankle injury, Jane-Fiete Arp who picked up a knock and Thiago Alcantara, who had a groin operation.
Bremen have only found the net on 35 occassions this campaign, and have conceded 64 goals, which is the second worst in the entire division.
Hansi Dieter Flick’s men have scored 92 goals, which is the highest amount ever scored after 31 games in Bundesliga history.
Bayern’s goal scoring heroics and Bremen’s defensive woes came into full show in the reverse fixture back in December, when this evening’s visitors hammered Florian Kohfeldt’s men 6-1 at the Allianz Arena. Philippe Coutinho knocked in a hat-trick.
