Werder Bremen

Augsburg

KickoffSaturday 19 September 2026, 2:30pm

Venuewohninvest WESERSTADION

CompetitionGerman Bundesliga

Augsburg have scored at least two goals in every single game they have played this season. Every one. That is not a team finding their feet, that is a team with a genuine cutting edge, and it makes them a fascinating proposition as they travel to a Werder Bremen side that has shown real character but still has question marks hanging over the squad. This fixture has goals written all over it, and the shape of the game feels like it sets up perfectly for a punter who fancies doing a bit of work in the markets.

Werder, meanwhile, are not exactly playing boring football themselves. They shocked RB Leipzig 3-1 earlier in the season, then dug in to earn a point at Koln. Daniel Thioune has clearly got something going here, and Niclas Fullkrug back in the building is a serious bonus. But Augsburg arrive unbeaten, in form, and with four wins from their last five away days across all competitions. That is a formidable record on the road.

Werder Bremen vs Augsburg Match Details

This is a Bundesliga fixture played at the Weserstadion in Bremen, one of German football’s most atmospheric grounds. Werder are the home side welcoming a visiting Augsburg team that have genuinely impressed in the early weeks of the 2026/27 campaign. Manuel Baum kept them up last term and has them looking like a completely different proposition this time around.

Team News

Werder have a proper injury headache to manage here. Thioune is missing a number of key players and will need to shuffle his pack accordingly. Augsburg are also not at full strength, but their options look slightly less threadbare.

• Jens Stage (thigh) and Senne Lynen (groin) are both out for Werder in midfield
• Justin Njinmah is a doubt with a thigh problem
• Keke Topp is not expected back until next year after his ACL injury
• Felix Agu (calf) and Moussa N’Diaye (groin) both miss out at left back for the hosts
• Tim Breithaupt is absent for Augsburg with a toe injury
• Anton Kade is a doubt with a muscle problem and may not be risked
• Faik Sakar is out for Augsburg with an ankle issue
• Sima Suso is unavailable due to a muscle injury in the Augsburg backline

Predicted Lineups

Thioune does not have a huge amount of wriggle room given the absences in central midfield. Youri Regeer and Ludovit Reis look like the double pivot, with Chuki slotting in behind the striker in a number ten role. Fullkrug leads the line, flanked by Dinkci and Grull, while Olivier Deman comes in at left back to cover for the two absentees in that position.

Werder: Hein; Arthur, Freud, Pieper, Deman; Reis, Regeer; Dinkci, Chuki, Grull; Fullkrug

Augsburg set up with a back three and wing backs, and with Suso out, Banks, Brackelmann and Matsima form the defensive unit. If Kade does not make it, Massengo and Rieder take the central midfield roles. Fellhauer and Ibrahimovic operate in the attacking half, with Gregoritsch as the central striker and Wolf and Behrens pushing forward as wing backs.

Augsburg: Dahmen; Banks, Brackelmann, Matsima; Wolf, Massengo, Rieder, Behrens; Fellhauer, Ibrahimovic; Gregoritsch

Recent Form

Werder got absolutely thumped 4-1 by Freiburg on the opening day, which looked ominous after the high of that 3-0 DFB Pokal win over Luneburger Hansa. But they bounced back brilliantly, turning over RB Leipzig 3-1 in a result that genuinely raised eyebrows across German football. Goals from Dinkci, Fullkrug and Grull did the damage there, and it showed Thioune’s side are capable of producing something special on their day. They then went to Koln and came from behind to draw 1-1, which again showed a decent mentality. Four points from their opening three Bundesliga games is a solid base, and they sit 10th.

Augsburg’s form is arguably even more eye catching. They have won three and drawn one across all competitions, and that draw came at Bayer Leverkusen where they actually led 2-1 going into the final minutes before Patrik Schick broke their hearts in the 89th minute. To go to the defending champions and take them to the wire is seriously impressive. The key stat from their early season is that attacking output, two goals in every game without exception. That consistency in front of goal from a team many would have tipped for a relegation scrap is remarkable.

What this form picture tells you is that Augsburg travel to Bremen with serious momentum and genuine belief. Werder have heart and they have Fullkrug, but they are operating without several key players and are coming off a draw rather than a win. The energy and confidence looks like it sits with the visitors right now.

Head-to-Head Record

These two clubs have met plenty of times in the Bundesliga over the years and it has generally been a competitive fixture without being dramatically one sided. Augsburg have shown they can get results at Weserstadion, and there is no strong historical pattern suggesting Werder have this as a banker home fixture. The games tend to be fairly tight, often decided by a single goal, and there is rarely a dull ninety minutes when these two meet given both sides’ tendency to engage rather than sit back.

Augsburg’s current away form strengthens the case that they can take something from this game. Four wins from five on the road in competitive football is a meaningful run, and it suggests Baum has his side travelling well and picking up points away from home rather than relying purely on the Augsburg crowd.

Key Stats

• Augsburg have scored at least two goals in every game this season across all competitions
• Fullkrug has three goals from his first four games back at Werder this term
• Augsburg have won four of their last five competitive away fixtures

Werder Bremen vs Augsburg Betting Tips

The overall angle here is that Augsburg are the value. They arrive unbeaten, in strong attacking form, and with a proven record of winning on the road. Werder have shown spirit and have a quality goalscorer leading their attack, but the injury list is a genuine concern and home advantage only takes you so far when the visitors are travelling this well. The goal markets look very appealing given what both sides have shown in attack so far this season.

Corners Prediction

With Augsburg’s wing backs bombing on and Werder needing to push for something if they fall behind, this looks like a fixture that will generate a healthy number of set pieces. Both teams attack with width and intent, and over 9.5 corners looks a reasonable shout for a game with this kind of tactical shape on both sides.

Over and Under Goals Prediction

Augsburg have gone over two goals in every game this season and Fullkrug has been on the scoresheet regularly for Werder. Both teams have attacking intent and neither is set up primarily to defend. Over 2.5 goals looks well backed by the evidence and is the play here.

First Goalscorer Prediction

Niclas Fullkrug at any price is worth considering given his three goals in four games since returning to Werder. He is sharp, he is confident, and he leads the line for a home team that will need to make things happen early. If Bremen are going to get back into this game or make a statement, Fullkrug is the man most likely to do it.

Cards Prediction

A mid table Bundesliga fixture with both sides going after the game and a bit of pressure on Werder at home to get a result. That is a recipe for some niggly fouls and a referee busy with his notebook. Over 3.5 cards is a market worth considering in a game where frustration could build, especially if Augsburg get in front and Werder press to get back into it.

Both Teams To Score (BTTS) Prediction

Augsburg have scored in every game this season and Fullkrug is in the kind of form that makes him a threat in almost any fixture. Werder have the quality to hurt teams even when they are not at full strength. Both teams to score looks very much on and is backed by the form of both attacks coming into this one.

Bet Builder Tip

Augsburg winning in a game where both teams score and the total goals go over 2.5 fits perfectly with the pattern of how this season has played out for the visitors, and acknowledges that Werder have the firepower to contribute to a lively scoreline even in defeat.

Final Match Prediction

Werder have done well to get to four points with the squad issues they are dealing with, and Thioune deserves credit for steadying the ship after last season’s survival battle. But Augsburg are a side playing with genuine confidence right now, scoring freely and winning away from home at a rate that demands respect. The visitors look slightly too strong for a Werder side missing key players in midfield and out wide.

Fullkrug will make this competitive and Bremen will not lie down, but the quality and momentum in the Augsburg squad should be enough to edge them over the line. A 1-2 win for the visitors looks the most likely outcome, with Fullkrug grabbing his fourth goal of the season but Augsburg doing enough to take all three points back down the motorway.
