German top flight will be back to the fold this week when Werder Bremen hosts Augsburg at Weserstadion in game week six of the Bundesliga. Kickoffs on September 9 at 21:30 EAT.
Placed eighth with eight points, Werder Bremen are determined to stay up the table this season, as they have shown this resolve in their five Bundesliga games since returning to the topflight. However, Werder has now failed to win in any of their last eight home league matches, losing 6 and drawing in two.
Werder Bremen will aim for another victory following 0-2 Bundesliga success over VfL Bochum in their previous outing. In that game, Werder Bremen had 50% possession, 16 shots with seven of them on target and goals scored by Niklas Füllkrug (86′, 92′). Bochum got 20 shots with six of them on target.
Augsburg on the other end has been on poor this year, losing seven of their last 10 away league matches, although a win at Leverkusen earlier this season suggests we shouldn´t take anything for granted in this game. Coming into this game, Augsburg lost four and won two of their last six matches across all the competitions.
Augsburg and their travelling fans will hope for a better resuls following 0-2 Bundesliga defeat at the hads of Hertha Berlin in their previous fixture. In that game, Augsburg managed 48% possession seven shots with one of them on target. Hertha BSC got 15 shots with six of them on target and goals by Dodi Lukébakio (57′) and Marco Richter (93′).
