Knock out game for German Liga Pokal, will be played at LTU Arena, Dusseldorf.

Werder didn't changed a lot from last season, except the sale of Klose, and the arrival of Carlos Alberto. Thomas Schaaf kept nearly the same squad like last season, and try to build a more stable defensive line. The bad news for Werder are they are left out of strikers at the moment. Only Marcus Rosenberg and Kevin Sidler (called from amateurs) are ready for selection today. Almeyda injured to the last training and it is sure that he will not play, Klasnic is coming from surgery, and Aaron Hunt is recovering from injury. Also, Carlos Alberto can't play cause still don't have the required papers to play at Germany, Per Mertesacker is not ready coming from injury, while Diego and Naldo are still at holidays after played to Copa America.

Bayern, after the total failure of the last season, spent a lot for big transfers, in quantity and quality too, and wants to bounce back as fast as possible. For today they have too some problems with injuries. Frank Ribery and Van Bommel are ready to play. From the 8 new signings, only 3 are out for today. Luca Toni, José Ernesto Sosa and Jan Schlaudraff are out injured. Lukas Podolski is not ready after injury and Santa Cruz isn't selected from coach. The attacking line expected to be : Miroslav Klose, and behind Hamit Altintop, Zé Roberto, Franck Ribéry, Mark van Bommel and Bastian Schweinsteiger.

Maybe the absentees for both teams are a lot, but Bayern right now is further better on quality and quantity, in comparison with last season. Werder showed very bad perfomance to their last friendlies, and i think Bayern is more ready and more thirsty for a win today.
