Clean Sheet Runs
Recent defensive records for Werder Bremen and Augsburg are shown below.
Daniel Thioune’s side have steadied themselves after a 4-1 defeat at Freiburg, while Augsburg arrive unbeaten in the league and with nine goals from their opening three matches.
The contrast is clear. Bremen have shown resilience and enough attacking quality to recover quickly from setbacks. Augsburg, though, have combined strong results with sustained attacking output, and their recent numbers suggest this is a fixture in which Bremen may need more than character alone.
Bremen’s recovery has substance behind it
The 3-1 win over RB Leipzig changed the tone after that heavy opening defeat, and the subsequent 1-1 draw at FC Koln reinforced Bremen’s ability to respond when matches turn against them. They came from behind in Cologne, with Niclas Fullkrug scoring the equaliser, and now sit 10th with four points from three league games.
Fullkrug’s influence is becoming difficult to separate from Bremen’s improvement. He has three goals in four matches across all competitions since returning, giving Thioune a reliable focal point at a time when attacking options are reduced.
That matters because Bremen’s broader league record remains less convincing. Across their last 10 league matches they have averaged 1.2 goals from 11.5 attempts and 4.4 shots on target, while losing six of those games. The issue has not simply been creating enough shooting opportunities; the return from them has been modest.
Augsburg are doing more with less possession
Augsburg’s start is built on a very different statistical profile. They have taken seven points from three Bundesliga matches, scoring nine goals while conceding three, and have found the net at least twice in every competitive outing this season.
Their 39.7% average possession across the last 10 league games is especially revealing alongside 15.2 attempts, 6.4 shots on target and 2.1 goals per match. Augsburg do not need to dominate the ball to generate attacking output.
Michael Gregoritsch sits at the centre of that threat. His two goals in the 2-2 draw with Bayer Leverkusen took his tally to six across Augsburg’s last 10 league games, while Fabian Rieder has three goals and two assists in the same period.
There is a useful warning for Bremen here: Augsburg are averaging more shots, more shots on target and more goals than the hosts across their respective 10-game league samples.
Bremen’s defensive numbers leave room for concern
Bremen have conceded an average of 1.9 goals from 16.2 attempts and 5.3 shots on target across their last 10 league matches. Against an Augsburg side producing 15.2 attempts per game, that combination suggests the hosts may have to absorb a considerable amount of attacking pressure.
Thioune also has defensive and midfield absences to manage. Jens Stage and Senne Lynen are out, while Felix Agu and Moussa N’Diaye are unavailable on the left side of defence. Youri Regeer and Ludovit Reis could therefore form the midfield pairing, with Olivier Deman starting at left-back.
Further forward, Justin Njinmah is dealing with a thigh problem and Keke Topp remains sidelined, increasing the importance of Fullkrug, Eren Dinkci and Marco Grull.
Augsburg have issues of their own, with Tim Breithaupt and Faik Sakar unavailable, Sima Suso sidelined and Anton Kade doubtful. Even so, their recent output gives them a strong attacking base from which to work.
Recent history adds another layer
Augsburg are unbeaten in the last four meetings between the sides and won the most recent encounter 3-1 at the Weserstadion. Across the last 10 meetings, they have five victories to Bremen’s three, with two draws.
That record does not decide Saturday’s match, but it fits a wider pattern around this fixture: Augsburg arrive with stronger recent league form, superior attacking averages and four wins from their last five competitive away matches.
Other Opportunities in This Market
Over 2.5 Goals: Settles as a winning bet if the match produces three or more total goals, regardless of which team scores them. This outcome covers scorelines like 3-0 or 0-3 that fail in the BTTS market, trading away the mutual scoring requirement for broader outcome coverage.
Double Chance (Draw or FC Augsburg): Settles as a win if the match finishes as an Augsburg victory or a draw after 90 minutes plus stoppage time. This covers two of the three main match results, lowering risk relative to exact outcome bets at shorter odds.

Correct Score Market
Selection: Werder Bremen vs FC Augsburg 2-2. Predict the exact score at the end of 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Extra time and penalties do not count unless the bookmaker states otherwise.
🎯 Pick 1: BTTS Yes @ 1/3
The foundation for both teams scoring at the Weserstadion lies in Augsburg’s sharp early-season output alongside Werder Bremen’s established individual attacking reference point. Augsburg enter this fixture having scored nine goals across their opening three Bundesliga matches, netting at least twice in every competitive fixture so far. That goalscoring capability operates effectively without sustained possession, as they average 39.7% of the ball across their last 10 league games while generating 15.2 attempts and 6.4 shots on target per match.
Bremen’s defensive profile directly complements Augsburg’s direct attacking efficiency. Over their past 10 league fixtures, Bremen have conceded an average of 1.9 goals per match while surrendering 16.2 attempts and 5.3 shots on target. Defensive absences including Jens Stage, Senne Lynen, Felix Agu, and Moussa N’Diaye force a midfield and defensive reorganisation, exposing Bremen to an opponent producing high shot volume. However, Bremen retain a direct route to goal through Niclas Fullkrug, who has scored three goals in four appearances across all competitions. That presence gives the hosts a proven focal point, even if their broader 10-game league average sits at a modest 1.2 goals from 11.5 attempts.
While Bremen’s broader league record shows six defeats in 10 matches, their recent 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig and 1-1 draw at FC Koln demonstrate a capacity to respond after conceding. Given Augsburg’s average of 1.4 goals conceded over their last 10 league games, both teams present clear offensive routes alongside defensive concessions.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Augsburg have scored nine goals in three Bundesliga matches this season, finding the net at least twice in every competitive outing.
- Werder Bremen concede an average of 16.2 attempts and 1.9 goals per match across their past 10 league games.
- Niclas Fullkrug has registered three goals in four appearances across all competitions since returning to Werder Bremen.
Risk Factor: The selection loses if either side keeps a clean sheet; Bremen's low shot volume or Augsburg's defense could cause this.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Averaging 15.2 attempts and 6.4 shots on target per match across 10 league games despite averaging only 39.7% possession.
Surrendering 16.2 attempts and 1.9 goals per match across their last 10 league outings amid multiple defensive absences.
⚔️ Pick 2: Werder Bremen vs FC Augsburg 2-2 @ 17/2
A 2-2 scoreline balances Augsburg’s strong early-season scoring rate with Werder Bremen’s demonstrated capacity to respond at the Weserstadion. Augsburg’s return of nine goals from three Bundesliga fixtures, combined with Michael Gregoritsch’s six goals in his last 10 league outings, supports the visitor side of a multi-goal scoreline. They have scored two or more goals in every competitive match this season, and their average of 6.4 shots on target per game provides direct justification for Augsburg reaching two goals against a Bremen side allowing 1.9 goals per match.
Conversely, Werder Bremen’s attacking threat is anchored by Niclas Fullkrug’s form of three goals in four matches, complemented by options like Marco Grull and Eren Dinkci. Bremen scored three against RB Leipzig and registered a goal away at FC Koln, illustrating that despite averaging a modest 1.2 goals per game across their past 10 league fixtures, they retain enough targeted finishing to score twice against an Augsburg side conceding 1.4 goals per match on average.
Historical precedent offers context, as Augsburg recorded a 2-2 draw with Bayer Leverkusen recently, while two of the last 10 head-to-head encounters between these clubs have finished level. While these past scores provide background, an exact 2-2 prediction remains highly sensitive to single events, where one additional goal or missed opportunity alters the outcome completely.
Risk Factor: Exact score selections carry minimal margin for error; a single extra goal or clean sheet voids the bet.
