Back-to-back Bundesliga 2026/2027 winners in close contest
A close contest is expected when SV Werder Bremen face FC Augsburg at the Wohninvest WESERSTADION on Saturday. The Green-Whites have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five games, while the Fuggerstädter have won three, drawn one and lost one of theirs. However, the hosts are a slight favourite for this at 32/25, ahead of 44/25 for Augsburg and 27/10 for the draw.
Augsburg will arrive in Bremen in strong nick having won three, drawn one and lost just one of their five matches in all competitions. Manuel Baum's team have looked sharp on the road, where they are unbeaten in one game, and have already hit four goals on the away from home.
Baum, who took charge at Augsburg on 2 December 2025, has honed his team into a compact and direct unit that prefer to sit deep in a narrow block and press selectively, rather than go all out. They play at their best on the counter, but can be very dangerous when they have the ball.
Back-to-back Bundesliga 2026/2027 matches are likely to be close
Daniel Thioune's Bremen will also need to get the ball down and play possession football to get the best of this game and it is likely to be a contest of possession versus counter attack. Thioune, who took over at Bremen on 4 February 2026, has set up a pragmatic system with a goalkeeper-led build-up and vertical runs that can break the opposition lines quickly.
It is a game that can be hard to press because the hosts are capable of switching between a back four and back three, but they can lose their rhythm if the rhythm of their passing is broken. The stats show that Bremen have had a good record at home in the Bundesliga 2026/2027, winning one of one, scoring an average of 3.00 goals per game and conceding 1.00 per game.
Baum’s Augsburg can keep it tight enough
Augsburg, who won the reverse fixture 3-1 away in the Bundesliga 2025/2026, look the more likely winner here as they are playing at their maximum right now. The home side are a much more structured side now and the value available on the home team makes the most sense in the match result markets.
The draw looks tempting, but we'll take Bremen to edge it in a close game because of the advantage of playing at home. Both teams to score at 9/20 looks alive, while Over 2.5 goals at 53/100 suggests this could be an open game. Bremen's Dariusz Stalmach is Bremen's top scorer in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 with one goal in two games, while Marco Gruell, who has two assists in two Bundesliga 2026/2027 games, is the chief creator.
Augsburg's danger man is Alexis Claude-Maurice, who has one goal in one Bundesliga 2026/2027 game, and he will be the key to unlocking the Bremen defence. Bremen did well to bounce back from a 4-1 away defeat to SC Freiburg by beating RB Leipzig 3-1 at home last weekend.
