In the 22nd round of Germany’s Bundesliga 1 on February 14, 2026, Werder will face Bayern Munich. Any outcome other than an away win would be a surprise.
The Bremen side, last season, seriously contended for European qualification for the first time in years. However, missing out by just a point to Mainz, they ultimately finished eighth. With their coach Werner leaving as well, the players’ form clearly dropped, especially in the winter, when a new relegation battle started to look highly realistic. This became particularly apparent after their 0-1 defeat to Freiburg, which left them in sixteenth place.
Kompany, having moved to Munich almost straight from the Championship, returned the “Silver Salad Bowl” to his new team. They already have the Supercup, and it’s clear they won’t stop there—the giants only fail to win individual matches in all competitions. The club achieved the second-best result in the Champions League—only Arsenal, who beat the Germans, ranked higher. This week, they comfortably beat RB Leipzig 2-0 in the cup. In the Bundesliga, the favorites have already pulled ahead, though have started dropping some points. Still, they recently secured a resounding 5-1 win over Hoffenheim.
Sugawara and his teammates average 1.05 goals scored and 1.86 conceded per match. The main favorites dominate completely: 3.76 goals scored for every 0.9 conceded.
