Werder Bremen vs Augsburg Prediction

Werder Bremen come into this one on the back of a thrilling 3-3 draw with Heidenheim in their most recent outing during the midweek. Werder’s 17 matches have been entertaining throughout the campaign, with those 17 games consisting of 63 goals. They now face an Augsburg side that earned a much-needed 2-0 win against Union Berlin in the capital city in midweek thanks to a brace from Alexis Claude-Maurice. Werder are fun to watch and Augsburg will be buoyed by that clash so a high-scoring affair may well be expected at Weserstadion.

Werder Bremen vs Augsburg Tip: Over 2.5 goals
