THE PREDICTION
Werder Bremen have won four of the last five meetings between these two sides but since beating Augsburg at home on Matchday 3 of last season, they have won just two of their 22 league matches at the Weserstadion. The last three have all ended in defeat, albeit by slim margins. Augsburg were thumped 4-1 at home to Stuttgart last time out but they have won their last two away league games by a 1-0 scoreline, and have picked up 11 of their 19 points this season on the road. What is more, there has only been one goal in it in three of the last four clashes involving these two teams. Given their respective home and away form, another narrow Augsburg victory looks likely.
