Werder Bremen vs Augsburg prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-01-18 16:30.
[p]After stringing together four successive competitive victories across December, Werder Bremen have since failed to win either of their last two outings following a pulsating 3-3 draw against Heidenheim last round. In that match, the hosts took the lead on three separate occasions before eventually being pegged back one final time in the 91st minute, but even despite that late disappointment, it still pushed their unbeaten run at Weserstadion to six matches across all competitions (W3, D3). [/p]
[p]Those familiar home comforts could come in handy again this weekend as they welcome Augsburg, a side they’ve won four of their last five home Bundesliga fixtures against (L1). All four of those victories witnessed Werder score 2+ goals in the process, a feat that they’ve also managed in each of their last four league matches as their attacking line tries to push them closer to the European places.[/p]
[p]It proved to be a better midweek matchday for visiting Augsburg, as they travelled to the German capital and claimed a hugely important victory at the expense of Union Berlin in a 2-0 win. That success ended their prior three-match losing streak in the top-flight, whilst it also pushed them up into 12th spot ahead of this weekend. [/p]
[p]Not only that, but that win also acted as their first on the road this Bundesliga campaign (D2, L5) which will have boosted confidence significantly ahead of this latest trip to Bremen. A return of three wins across their last six league H2Hs overall (D1, L2) should also have Augsburg daring to dream of another big three-point haul here as they look to put further distance between themselves and the relegation places. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Marvin Ducksch has registered 12 goal contributions (G5, A7) across 17 league games for Werder this campaign, whilst he has only scored more Bundesliga goals against Monchengladbach (four) than he has against Augsburg (three). For the visitors, Alexis Claude-Maurice has netted six Bundesliga goals this season, two of which served as match opening strikes before the 10th minute of an away match. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Only Holstein Kiel (ten) had conceded more Bundesliga goals before the 15th minute this season than Augsburg (nine) prior to this round. [/p]
