Werder Bremen - Augsburg predictions

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.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 4.50 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

It’s fair t o say Werder Bremen had quite an unexpected result in their last Bundesliga game. They headed into the game as huge favourites (1.72) but still struggled to grab three points. A draw at halftime and a draw at fulltime were also quite an unexpected outcome from a punter’s point of view.

The 0:2 away victory Augsburg recorded in the previous round was utterly unexpected. Top online bookmakers priced them winning at 4.50, and most predictions thought that the decisive victory would go the other way around.

Werder’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 8 goals throughout their latest three Bundesliga matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 fixtures, Augsburg's backline has much to be wished for

The hosts can boast a 9th spot in the standings, which is not enough to send them to an international competition next season. They have a good shot to earn some points against Augsburg, though, so they may just make it yet.

Even though we’ve seen Team from Bremen and Augsburg clash multiple times this season, none of the two teams managed to secure a conclusive record. There have several tied games throughout multiple competitions.

Maximilian Bauer, Masaya Okugawa, Mads Pedersen, Keven Schlotterbeck, Yusuf Kabadayı have all been forced to stay out of this match due to various injuries. That’s one more disadvantage that the visitors will have to deal with on top of being the less likely team to win.

Though a Home Win bet is the best offer in terms of value, the outcome is far from guaranteed. Though there’s a moderate risk involved, the 1.80 odds offered at Betway are worth it.
