Match preview
Werder Bremen come into this fixture after picking up important points in their last away match against Stuttgart, extending their unbeaten run to 2 games. Overall, their form remains inconsistent, with 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches.
In the table, Werder sit 12th, 6 points clear of the relegation zone, which gives them some breathing space in the final part of the season. At home, their record is fairly balanced with 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats.
Defensively, Bremen have struggled significantly, conceding in each of their last 4 matches. At the same time, they have also been able to score regularly, finding the net in 4 of their last 5 games. Bremen have also had very poor control of matches at home, leading at half-time in only 2 of their 15 home games this season, which often forces them into open, high-risk situations.
Augsburg come into this match unbeaten in their last 4 games, although they have managed only 1 win in their last 7 matches overall. This inconsistency has placed them in 9th position in the table, with European qualification now looking difficult as they sit 6 points behind 7th place.
Defensively, Augsburg have major issues, conceding in 7 consecutive matches. However, their games remain very open, with both teams scoring in each of their last 5 matches. In head-to-head meetings, Augsburg also hold the advantage, with 5 wins in the last 10 games against Werder Bremen and an unbeaten run in the last 3 encounters. Augsburg’s away matches are particularly goal-heavy, with 10 of their 15 away games this season featuring both teams scoring, reinforcing their tendency to be involved in open games.
At the same time, Werder Bremen have struggled in this fixture at home, winning only 1 of the last 3 meetings. Both sides also show defensive instability in general form, with Bremen conceding consistently and Augsburg allowing goals in seven straight matches, increasing the likelihood of goals at both ends.
