Werder Bremen - Augsburg betting tips and odds

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Augsburg may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

Augsburg are massive underdogs and will be extremely lucky to avoid complete annihilation at the hands of Werder Bremen.

Team from Bremen are coming on the back of a 0:2 in an away game, so they must be feeling confident. The first half against Bochum was mostly balanced, just like most betting predictions said it would, but the late game went to the visitors.

The previous round was an embarrassment for Augsburg - right on their home stadium. They held the line for 45 minutes against Hertha BSC, who were generally considered the favourites. The second half was a complete wash, however, ending in a 0:2 defeat.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

Augsburg may need more consistency in their defense if they want to get anywhere. They have more than 5 conceded goals over their 3 most recent home games, for instance.

Werder are fighting hard to stay in the upper half of the Bundesliga table, so a win here will be extremely valuable. They seem poised to take it, which might be the start of a fruitful season.

There’s an interesting development over at Weserstadion. It seems both teams have been struck hard by injuries. On one hand, Leonardo Bittencourt, Jean-Manuel Mbom, Eren Dinkci, Dikeni-Rafid Salifou, Lee Buchanan will not be playing for the hosts. Conversely, Felix Uduokhai, Frederik Franck Winther, Reece Oxford, Tobias Strobl, Noah Joel Sarenren Bazee, Niklas Dorsch will all be unavailable on the away side. Both teams will have to deal with limited options.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.83, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
