Introduction
The Bundesliga displays yet another captivating clash as Werder Bremen gear up to face FC Augsburg at the wohninvest WESERSTADION in Bremen on December 9, 2023. With both teams nestled in the middle of the table, the upcoming encounter promises to be crucial for their league aspirations as the season progresses.
Match Analysis
Werder Bremen enter this match with a rather turbulent recent form. The team has suffered two consecutive defeats against VfB Stuttgart and Bayer Leverkusen without managing to score a single goal. Furthermore, their defences have conceded seven goals in their last four Bundesliga fixtures, highlighting a concerning vulnerability at the back. Werder's fans will be hoping for a revival of the form witnessed against Union Berlin, where they secured a convincing 2-0 victory.
On the other side, FC Augsburg arrive on the back of a notable upturn in outcomes. The 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt epitomizes their potential to upset teams and grapple points from challenging fixtures. With only one loss in their last five Bundesliga matches, Augsburg seems to have found a steadier rhythm and appear more cohesive as a unit.
Recent Form
Werder Bremen's form has been inconsistent, marked by a win rate of just 20% in their last 10 matches across all competitions. Scoring has been a notable issue as they have found the back of the net only seven times while conceding 17 goals.
Contrastingly, FC Augsburg exhibits a more positive trajectory, notching up a win rate of 40% over their last 10 appearances. They have proved their scoring capabilities by netting 17 goals and have been slightly more robust defensively, conceding 12 goals.
