Werder Bremen VS FC Augsburg Match Prediction

The head-to-head record between the sides is remarkably split, with each club claiming three victories from the last six meetings. Last year in the Bundesliga, the points went to the away team on both occasions, with Augsburg and Werder both winning 2-1 away from home in the league.

All of the last five meetings between Werder Bremen and Augsburg have seen over 2.5 goals scored, as well as both teams being able to get on the scoresheet.

Werder Bremen v Augsburg: Prediction

Neither team was able to score in their opening match of the new Bundesliga season, so hopefully they will have been working on their shooting during the international break or we could be in for a low-scoring affair here and potentially even a goalless draw. However, the head-to-head record between the clubs shows that this fixture tends to throw up plenty of goals and with two defences that do not look particularly tight on show, there could be plenty of entertainment here on Sunday.

Werder Bremen v Augsburg: Betting Tips

Werder Bremen can be backed at 11/8 to claim all three points from the visit of Augsburg, who are available at around the 23/10 mark for this Bundesliga bonanza. Perhaps the best option from the match odds market is the 5/2 available on the draw.

The goals markets are certainly of interest here. Even though five of Augsburg's last six matches in the Bundesliga have seen under 2.5 goals scored, the head-to-head record shows over 2.5 goals has come in five times in a row in this game, so that bet is recommended at 3/4. 

Those last five fixtures between Werder Bremen and Augsburg have also seen both teams score, which is offered at a very tempting price of 4/6 for this match.

Werder Bremen suffered a chastening 6-0 loss at the hands of Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in their opening game of the new season, but will have regained some confidence by dishing out an 8-1 thrashing to Kickers Emden in a club friendly during the international break. 

A battle against the drop looks to be on the cards for Werder, who must see games like Augsburg at home as vital to their survival chances. Goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald impressed against Bayern despite conceding six and he will be hoping to be a lot less busy in this match.

Werder Bremen likely XI:

A 2-0 loss at home to Wolfsburg was not the ideal start to the new season for Augsburg, who will be looking to bounce back on their visit to one of the favourites for the drop this time out. Coach Dirk Schuster is likely to give the same set of players another chance to prove themselves rather than making wholesale changes to the team in a bid to find an improvement in performances.

FC Augsburg likely XI:

Both teams will want to bounce back from disappointing performances on the opening weekend of the Bundesliga season, with Werder Bremen particularly humiliated in their 6-0 thrashing by champions Bayern Munich. With both defences looking porous there could be plenty of goals and entertainment, with a high-scoring draw the most likely result on Sunday.

There have been under 2.5 goals scored in five of Augsburg\'s last six matches in the Bundesliga.
