Werder want to distance FCA significantly

Slowly but surely the hot phase in the Bundesliga begins. Augsburg and Bremen definitely still have big goals that both teams are pursuing. The Augsburg vs. Werder Bremen prediction of the bookmakers is in the direction of the hosts, the reason for this is the good record that the Fuggerstädter recently put down at home.

Augsburg is therefore also the slight favourite in this match. Werder Bremen, however, should not be underestimated, because although this team has its individual problems, the offensive players in particular do not need much to score goals.

FCA will definitely want to avoid being pulled deep into the relegation maelstrom. However, the defence has not always made the best impression lately, so our Augsburg vs. Werder Bremen tip is that both teams will score.

Augsburg – Statistics & current form

Last weekend FC Augsburg lost their away match at Hertha BSC. The Fuggerstädter were not particularly creative, especially in the game forward, which has been the case more often away from home. Now Werder Bremen are coming to the WWK Arena and FCA want to improve their performance. “We are very happy that the WWK ARENA is sold out on Saturday! And we know that we still need a lot of points to stay in the relegation zone. We are eager to score again at home,” Enrico Maaßen shared before the game.

It is curious that Augsburg performed very well at home after the World Cup break, but lost every game away from home. Maaßen’s team naturally hopes that this will happen again and that FCA will win at home. The situation in the table is not precarious at the moment, but it is not exactly comfortable either. The hosts currently have a five-point lead over the relegation place, and they definitely don’t want it to be less.

Home victories and away defeats have alternated recently, which at least allowed Augsburg to put the difficult phase before the World Cup break to rest. In total, there have only been three wins in the last 15 competitive matches, which is why the progress in the home arena cannot yet be identified as a trend.

Augsburg: The balance is still not right

Augsburg is undoubtedly struggling with balance problems. On the one hand in terms of home and away performances, on the other hand in terms of offence and defence. FCA has scored 26 goals and conceded 38, there would still be a need to catch up on both sides. In the end, the goal difference at the end of the season can decide whether the team is relegated, stays in the league or is relegated.

After all, FC Augsburg’s favourite opponent is now coming to the WWK Arena. The hosts have not won more often against any team during their time in the Bundesliga than against Werder Bremen. Combined with the good home record recently, this automatically results in the slight role of favourites, which is attached to the host.

Nevertheless, it will not be easy to win this match. Due to all the omens, our prediction before the match Augsburg vs. Werder Bremen is that both teams will score goals.

Werder Bremen – Statistics & current form

After it looked like Werder Bremen might have problems recently, the team has stabilised considerably again. The team has 30 points on its account, only once since the departure of legendary coach Schaaf has Bremen been better on the road at the present time. Meanwhile, coach Ole Werner is not at all interested in the fact that Augsburg is the fearful opponent: “I don’t think things that lie far in the past play a role.”

And he continues: “It won’t be an easy task, but we’ll face it. We want to be further ahead than we were in the first leg.” FCA narrowly won that first leg in Bremen 1-0, and after three wins in their last five games, Bremen are now back on a good run purely in terms of results and have also accumulated a solid gap at the bottom. The Werner eleven now has the chance to finally set the course for class preservation with another win at a direct competitor.

Werder Bremen now have the fewest direct shots on goal of any team in the Bundesliga, but that is still enough for 34 goals. So the visitors are proving to be quite efficient, and what’s more, the expected goals are anything but small. This means that players like Ducksch and Füllkrug also have the talent to frequently get themselves into good finishing positions.

Werder Bremen: Füllkrug and the 1:0

In particular Füllkrug is playing a very good season. The attacker has already scored the 1:0 in seven games for the North Germans. Werder want to put him in the limelight again in this game so that they can do so once more. With a lead behind them, Bremen would have to do less for the game and can play at a better pace.

So many factors play a role in this match. Werder Bremen will have to put on their best face to take something home against Augsburg, and Augsburg will have to show their typical home form. Because the latter is a bit more likely, our value tip before the match Augsburg vs Werder Bremen is that the hosts will win.

Augsburg – Werder Bremen Direct Comparison / H2H Balance

Both teams have already won eleven matches in direct comparison, but Augsburg have an advantage in the Bundesliga alone (11:8). FCA also won the first leg, Bremen won only one of the last four duels in the league. This time, too, the odds on Bayern look more interesting between Augsburg and Werder Bremen.

Augsburg – Werder Bremen Tip

Augsburg are currently betting everything on their own home record. The hosts want to manoeuvre themselves into a position that is sufficient for staying in the league. Recently, it was indeed enough to bring the energy onto the pitch in the home games.

Because FCA also like to be vulnerable at times in the process, despite good performances in home games, we play the betting odds on both teams to score before the Augsburg vs Bremen match.
