Werder Bremen – FC Augsburg

Recent form · Written before the match

Werder lost 1-4 at Freiburg on August 30, beat Leipzig 3-1 at home on September 5, then lost 0-1 at Cologne on September 12. Augsburg won 3-0 against Schalke on August 30, then 4-1 at Frankfurt on September 6.

These elements are documented, but the available archives do not constitute a complete series of the last five matches. Consistent statistics for xG, shots, and pressing are not available.

Rest is comparable in the schedule, while Augsburg’s travel and Werder’s possible match on September 12 cannot be assessed precisely with the verified information.

Head-to-head · Written before the match

On May 2, 2026, Werder Bremen lost 1-3 to Augsburg at the Weserstadion. Werder’s match report describes Augsburg allowing their opponent to have the ball in order to attack in transition, with two goals from Kade and a goal from a corner.

For the 2025/26 season, the Bundesliga also mentions a 2-0 Augsburg win in Bremen and a 2-2 draw in Augsburg. These matches took place before the match in question, and their prédictive valeur remains limited, as the squads, coaches, and context may have changed.

Absences and returns

On September 8, Werder reported Keke Topp, Jens Stage, and Justin Njinmah unavailable. Njinmah was expected to miss several months due to a thigh muscle injury, according to information published on September 1.

Stage had been announced absent for several months since August 30. Lynen was working individually due to a pelvic issue, Agu was partially returning, and Weiser had resumed full team training on September 8.

For Augsburg, no specific medical report was found before the cutoff date; the starting goalkeeper and any possible suspended players therefore remain unconfirmed.

Context & news

The favorable scenario for Werder is based on the advantage of the Weserstadion, high possession, situations down the flanks, and set pieces; their home victory over Leipzig shows a recent ability to exploit their territory. The favorable scenario for Augsburg is based on their recorded 3-0 and 4-1 victories, as well as their documented ability to let Werder have the ball and then attack in transitions, as in the 3-1 victory on 2 May 2026.

Werder could nevertheless be penalized by the absences of Stage and Njinmah, while Augsburg could be troubled if Werder controls their transitions and if the visitors lose their effectiveness from set pieces. Werder's exact position in the standings as of the cutoff date and comparable data on the quality of chances are not available; Augsburg was listed with 6 points and a 7-1 goal difference after two matchdays.
