Head-to-head statistics Augsburg - Werder Bremen
Augsburg Team Overview
🔴 After a narrow defeat in Frankfurt (0-1), Augsburg find themselves in 15th place in the standings, just two points clear of the relegation zone. A potential tenth loss of the season, combined with unfavorable results from their rivals, could see the team slip into danger by the winter break. However, in their last two home games, the Fuggerstädter secured their first back-to-back home victories of the calendar year without conceding a goal-defeating Hamburg (1-0) and Bayer Leverkusen (2-0). A third consecutive win would allow Augsburg to draw level on points with 12th-placed Werder Bremen and potentially surpass them on goal difference. Currently, both teams have conceded 28 goals, but the hosts have scored one less (17).
Match Results: Augsburg
Werder Bremen Team Overview
🟢 Werder Bremen have gone four matches without a win, suffering a heavy defeat against Stuttgart at home (0-4) in their latest outing. The match's outcome was significantly affected by the forced substitution of captain Marco Friedl due to injury in the 57th minute and Karim Coulibaly's red card just two minutes later. This string of setbacks-one draw and three losses-has seen the Green-Whites drop to 12th place, now only five points clear of the relegation play-off zone occupied by St. Pauli in 16th. Considering just the last four rounds, Werder are in the worst form in the league: one point out of a possible 12, conceding ten goals while scoring only three. Additionally, Bremen have failed to secure an away victory in their last five matches, with two draws and three losses.

Latest news
Augsburg
🎙 Augsburg's interim head coach, Manuel Baum, commented after the match against Eintracht: "It seemed like several contentious decisions went against us-both our goals were disallowed for offside. We had chances to stop Ritsu Doan before his shot on goal. We're disappointed with the result, as we played well. Now we have a week to prepare for the match against Werder."
❌ Augsburg have become one of the Bundesliga teams most affected by player call-ups for the Africa Cup of Nations. Samuel Essende (DR Congo), Elias Saad, and Ismael Gharbi (both Tunisia) will miss at least the upcoming fixture. Chrislain Matsima is out due to yellow card accumulation, and team captain Jeffrey Gouweleeuw is sidelined with a knee injury.
Werder Bremen
🎙 Werder Bremen's head coach Horst Steffen after the match against Stuttgart: "We didn't capitalize on our chances the way our opponents did. Marco's injury and the subsequent red card triggered a series of unfortunate events that prevented us from getting back into the game. It was clear that playing with ten men against a team like Stuttgart is extremely challenging. Now, we head to Augsburg with a chance to redeem ourselves."
❌ The participation of captain Marco Friedl remains uncertain due to a shoulder injury. Karim Coulibaly will miss the match due to suspension. Samuel Mbom had to leave training early due to an injury, but initial reports suggest it is not serious. Leonardo Bittencourt's involvement is also in doubt after falling ill this week. Victor Boniface (knee bruise), Mitchell Weiser (torn cruciate ligament), and Felix Agu (syndesmosis injury) will be unavailable for the team. Maximilian Wöber is being considered for inclusion in the squad.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Tobias Welz has been appointed as the main referee at the WWK Arena. Known for his strictness, he averages 4.8 yellow cards over his last 10 matches. The "Fuggers" lead the league in average yellow cards per match with 2.9. Meanwhile, the "Green-Whites" are tied for second place with Bayern and Mainz at 2.4. Therefore, opting for Augsburg's individual total of over 1.5 yellow cards seems justified, as this bet has succeeded in five of the last six head-to-head encounters.
⚽ Goal Prediction
We suggest considering Werder's individual total of under 1.5 goals given their current form, poor away record, and numerous injury concerns. Additionally, Augsburg have conceded no more than one goal in their last four home matches.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Both teams rank low in average corners per match, with Augsburg slightly ahead at 4.3 (14th place) compared to Werder's 3.9 (15th). Thus, choosing Augsburg's individual total of under 5.5 corners appears logical, despite the home advantage. This outcome has occurred in seven of the Fuggers' last eight league matches.
Editorial Prediction
Both teams enter the match with significant injury concerns, which could directly influence the game's dynamics. Augsburg's last four home games have been low-scoring affairs, but our main bet focuses on their head-to-head history.
At the WWK Arena, over 2.5 goals have been scored in 11 of the last 12 encounters between these sides. Considering the current form and motivation in the standings, we predict a narrow victory for the hosts-2-1. It's worth noting that historically, Werder Bremen have been Augsburg's most favorable opponents in the Bundesliga. Additionally, this total has been surpassed in five of Werder's last seven away matches.
