The top two teams in Germany will face off on Saturday. Werder Bremen plays host to Bayern Munich at the Westerstadion, hoping to edge ahead of the defending Champions at the top of the table.

With the addition of the Portuguese playmaker, Diego, Bremen is undergoing a resurgence of form, as he adds that little bit of spice needed to enhance the power and industry of players like Klose, Klasnic, Frings, and Borowski. Diego has made an immediate impact scoring goals for Bremen in both league play and the Champions League.

Bayern Munich has shrugged off their sluggish start playing themselves up the table with adequate performances behind their seasoned and structured team. The addition of Podolski has not been as prolific as expected while manager Felix Magath has already called into question his players’ desire in the early stages of league play.

While both teams are attack minded in nature, Bremen holds the advantage as they are playing at home and playing sensational football. Perhaps it is too early for Bayern to have hit full stride, and they could be stabbing at shadows if Diego can conjure his Brazilian magic.
