Werder Bremen host Augsburg at the Wohninvest WESERSTADION in a Bundesliga fixture that finds both clubs firmly in the middle of the table and with little room for complacency in the final weeks of the season.
Bremen come into this game carrying a significant injury burden. With six players sidelined, Ole Werner's squad has been stretched in recent weeks, and that has shown in results that have fluctuated between bright and frustrating.
Augsburg, sitting three places above Bremen in ninth, arrive in form worth noting. They beat Bayer Leverkusen away from home earlier this month, a result that demonstrated they are capable of hurting sides well above them in the standings.
Bremen's last outing was a 1-1 draw at home to VfB Stuttgart, a result that extended a run of inconsistency. A win over Hamburger SV before that showed what they can produce, but back-to-back defeats to FC Koeln and RB Leipzig in April underlined the fragility in their performances.
For Augsburg, the picture is one of a side that draws often and occasionally punches above its weight. Three draws from their last five, plus that win at Leverkusen, suggest a team that is hard to beat but not always capable of forcing the issue.
