converted on a corner kick in the 7th minute.

FC
Bayern Munich vs. Werder Bremen Preview
Werder Bremen will unlikely receive a warm welcome when
they visit FC Bayern Munich's Olympic stadium on
Saturday March 5th. The decisive game of Bayern
versus Werder last season on May 8th 2004, ended in
Werder sealing the Bundesliga title with a 3-1 victory
over Bayern. Bayern was down 0-3 after 35 minutes
and this assault on Bayern's home soil has not yet been
forgotten.
With
both teams looking good in midweek German Cup matches,
it should prove to be an interesting match. A
victory for Werder will keep them in contention for the
Bundesliga Championship, but Bayern will likely seek to
end those hopes with a revenge victory on their home
soil.
Thomas Schaaf has welcomed back Frank Baumann and
Ludovic Magnin after they suffered minor injuries, he is
unfortunately still without striker Ivan Klasnic.
He has selected the 18-man squad for the match:
Reinke, Walke, Ismael, Stalteri, Pasanen, Fahrenhorst,
Schulz, Davala, Baumann, Magnin, Ernst, Jensen, Micoud,
Borowski, Klose, Valdez, Hunt, Zidan.
For
all Canadian fans, the game will be televised on Fox
Sports World Canada on Sunday March 6th (1 day tape
delay) at 11:30am EST (8:30am PST).

FC
Bayern's attempt to strengthen their squad with first
team players such as Fink, Zickler and Guerrero proved
to be less effective than they hoped. Werder Coach

travel to Munich due to injury.

82nd minute for Umit Davala.
