Werder Bremen – FC Augsburg

Werder Bremen host FC Augsburg in what promises to be a decisive clash in the top half of the table. Bremen sit fourth with four points from three games – a win, a draw and a loss, and a modest 5‑6 goal difference – while Augsburg have already amassed seven points, remaining unbeaten with two victories and a draw and a healthy +6 margin on the scoresheet. The Bavarian side’s defensive solidity, reflected in conceding just three goals, will test a Bremen defence that has already let in six. If the hosts can tighten up at the back and improve their finishing, they could narrow the gap, but Augsburg’s unbeaten run suggests they will enter the match as the clear favorites.
