Werder Bremen vs Augsburg Prediction & Betting tips
Werder Bremen and FC Augsburg are responsible for one of the Bundesliga’s Saturday afternoon games. The home team in particular can use the points well in the fight against relegation.
Werder Bremen:
The current season is not a huge success for Werder Bremen for the time being. Things are a little better from last year, when relegation was narrowly avoided, but that’s where the good news pretty much ends. With fifteen points from the same number of rounds, Die Hanseaten are just above the danger zone. Last week, a result was achieved that few had anticipated beforehand. On a visit to Bayer Leverkusen, the green and white defended strongly. Leverkusen’s strong attack was largely neutralized. Werder left the BayArena with a 1–1 draw.
A positive thing for Bremen was that striker Niclas Füllkrug could again take a few minutes, after having been eliminated for a long time due to an injury. Tellingly, Füllkrug, despite being the club’s top scorer so far (four goals), despite only being in the starting line-up four times. Trainer Florian Kohfeldt has a strong need for a scoring striker, although the question is whether Füllkrug can handle an entire match. Milot Rashica and Davie Selke are also two options for the attacking positions.
Augsburg:
FC Augsburg is doing better than Werder Bremen. Like every year, the Fuggerstädter have the primary goal of staying out of the relegation problems, and for the time being they are successful. After fifteen duels, Augsburg is on nineteen points, which puts it in the middle bracket. Last week there was a big defeat. At home against VfB Stuttgart there was – a somewhat flattering – 1-4 defeat. Marco Richter got a red card in that match; he has to skip the match in Bremen because of this.
Compared to last week’s match, trainer Heiko Herrlich can line up defender Jeffrey Gouweleeuw again; he has served his suspension. Gouweleeuw will most likely form a couple with Felix Uduokhai, who has developed well recently, and has even been called up for Die Mannschaft. He also wore the captain’s armband in the previous game. “That was a great honor,” Uduokhai said this week. “I am grateful for the confidence of the trainer and the club.”
