Betting Tips for Today: Bayern Munich to shade a high-scoring clash with Werder Bremen

Werder Bremen have home advantage for their DFB-Pokal cup semi-final clash with Bayern Munich on Wednesday evening.

Despite that, the hosts are 13/2 (7.50) with 888Sport to win the tie in 90 minutes and 4/1 (5.0) to qualify.

The visitors won both Bundesliga matches between the pair this season and are just 7/20 (1.35) to complete a hat-trick of victories in this one. A draw in normal time is 17/4 (5.25) with the same firm.

Historically Bayern have dominated this fixture, winning each of the last 19 head-to-head meetings in all competitions and it's understandable to see them as such red-hot favourites.

Goals are on the agenda according to the latest odds. 888Sport offer 8/13 (1.62) that both teams find the net and four or more strikes is 27/25 (2.08).

Nico Kovac's side have been in flying form of late and it's tough to see past them coming out on top. Bayern have won 11 of their 13 league games since the winter break, a run that has seen the Bavarian giants surge back to the top of the division.

While 7/20 (1.35) is unlikely to appeal to punters, backing 6/4 (2.50) about an away win with both teams scoring looks a solid option.

This has already proved the correct selection in seven of Bayern Munich's Bundesliga games on the road including the league meeting between these sides in December.

The visitors have only kept four clean sheets in 15 games away from the Allianz Arena this term, with three of those coming against teams who sit in the bottom four at the time of writing.

Bremen for their part have only kept two clean sheets at this venue in the league, conceding 14 goals in five matches hosting teams who are currently ranked above them.

While Kovac's side only boast a narrow advantage over Borussia Dortmund, they should have enough quality to keep their hopes of a domestic double alive.

At 6/4 (2.50) the visitors look solid value to continue their emphatic winning record against Florian Kohfeldt’s side but the hosts should contribute to the goal tally too.
