Match Preview
Werder Bremen finished 15th in the Bundesliga last season after spending much of the campaign fighting to avoid relegation. They started this season with a 3-0 DFB-Pokal victory over Lüneburger Hansa but then suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat away to Freiburg in the opening league round.
The Bremen side responded well, beating Leipzig 3-1 at home before drawing 1-1 away against Cologne in their most recent match. They currently sit 10th with four points and a 5:6 goal difference. Werder have also won their only home league match so far, which should give them confidence ahead of this fixture.
However, their recent record against Augsburg has been disappointing. Werder have won only one of their last four meetings with Augsburg, losing the other three. Last season, Augsburg won 3-1 at Werder's home ground.
- Possible Werder Bremen Lineup: Hein, Arthur, Pieper, Friedl, Deman, Regeer, Reis, Dinkçi, Chuky, Grüll, Füllkrug
Augsburg finished ninth last season and were well outside the European qualification battle. Their current campaign has started much more impressively. After a 2-0 DFB-Pokal victory over Cottbus, Augsburg continued their strong run in the Bundesliga.
They beat newly promoted Schalke 3-0, followed that with a convincing 4-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt and then drew 2-2 with Bayer in their most recent match. Augsburg therefore have seven points from three league games and sit third in the table, with nine goals scored and only three conceded.
Their only Bundesliga away match this season also ended in victory. Augsburg remain unbeaten in all official competitions this campaign, making them one of the early surprises in the Bundesliga.
- Possible Augsburg Lineup: Dahmen, Banks, Matsima, Brackelmann, Wolf, Massengo, Rieder, Behrens, Ibrahimović, Fellhauer, Gregoritsch
Head-to-Head
Augsburg have avoided defeat in their last four meetings with Werder, recording two wins and two draws. The overall record across the last 10 encounters also favours Augsburg, who have won five times compared with three Werder victories, while two matches ended in draws.
Key Trends
- Augsburg are unbeaten in their last 4 matches against Werder.
- Augsburg are unbeaten in all official matches this season.
- 3 of Werder's last 4 matches produced over 2.5 goals.
- Both teams scored in Werder's last 3 matches.
- Augsburg's last 3 matches produced over 2.5 goals.
Prediction
Werder Bremen should be more competitive than their opening 4-1 defeat at Freiburg suggested. Their home victory over Leipzig showed that they can cause problems for strong opposition, while the draw against Cologne provided another useful point. Augsburg, however, have been the more convincing side so far. Their combination of attacking output and defensive stability has produced seven points from three matches, and they have already recorded convincing victories over Schalke and Eintracht Frankfurt. Their unbeaten start also gives them plenty of confidence going into this away fixture. The recent head-to-head record adds another interesting element, with Augsburg unbeaten in the last four meetings and having won at Bremen last season. At the same time, both teams have shown a tendency towards open matches recently, particularly in the attacking phase. Werder should have opportunities on home soil, but Augsburg's current form suggests they can create plenty of problems at the other end as well. With both sides coming off several high-scoring matches, another entertaining encounter with goals at both ends looks possible. Recommended Bet: Over 3 Total Goals.
