Werder Bremen Preview – Can Bremen back up?
A 2-0 win away from home at Bochum in last weekend’s Bundesliga action handed Werder Bremen another valuable three points and also helped lift Friday night’s hosts up into an early 8th place spot in the German top flight ahead of the upcoming visit from lowly Augsburg.
Despite suffering relegation the season before last in the Bundesliga with Werder Bremen failing to win any of their final 10 games of that disastrous campaign, the hosts bounced back into the Bundesliga at the first time of asking, securing promotion from 2 Bundesliga at the end of last term.
Early signs have been encouraging though at the start of this new campaign as Werder Bremen have lost just once in their opening five games which was no disgrace as they lost to last season’s Europa League winners, Eintracht Frankfurt, 4-3 at home.
However, on the plus side, Werder Bremen have recorded wins on the road at Borussia Dortmund 3-2 and the aforementioned 2-0 win at Bochum and these results will have given Bremen a massive boost in the early weeks of this season.
Werder Bremen have also won the previous three home meetings on the trot against Augsburg and the hosts will be eyeing off another three points here in this clash as well.
Augsburg Preview – Can Augsburg halt early rot?
Despite picking up an impressive three points by way of a 2-1 win away from home at Bayer Leverkusen at the start of this Bundesliga season, Augsburg will be wary of early rot setting in as the visitors have lost their subsequent three games on the trot, suffering losses against Mainz, Hoffenheim and Hertha Berlin respectively, while it’s now four defeats overall for the visitors to date this term.
An earlier heavy 4-0 thumping at home to surprise package, Freiburg, saw Augsburg make the worst start possible to this new Bundesliga season on the opening day and results haven’t got much better for Enrico Maassen’s side.
Augsburg have won just three of their last 11 matches overall in the German top flight but this wouldn’t be so bad if the visitors had also managed to pick up points in a few draws as well, but having lost eight of these previous 11 games, Augsburg look to have their work cut out in the early stages of this season.
The visitors have also won just three of their last 11 outings on the road as well, whilst also incurring seven defeats in the process, so the chances of an away win here at Werder Bremen look fairly remote, especially as they’ve kept just three clean sheets during this ordinary sequence of results.
The bigger picture shows Augsburg have collected just four wins on their travels from a total of 25 games on the road, which is a damning statistic and certainly doesn’t bode well for this upcoming visit to the wohninvest WESERSTADION.
