Augsburg
Augsburg come into this match missing key players due to Africa Cup of Nations call-ups, with Samuel Essende (DR Congo), Elias Saad, and Ismaël Gharbi (both Tunisia) unavailable. The absence of these attacking options could limit their firepower, despite their recent uptick in form at home.
Augsburg have secured back-to-back home wins for the first time this year, keeping clean sheets in both of their last two — a 1-0 win over Hamburger SV followed by a 2-0 victory against Bayer Leverkusen. However, they lost narrowly 1-0 to Eintracht Frankfurt last week, their fourth defeat in their last six Bundesliga games.
Still, two straight home wins provide some confidence ahead of the winter break, but they will need to adapt without their usual attackers.
Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen are struggling badly in recent weeks, picking up just one point from their last four Bundesliga games and suffering a 0-4 hammering at home to VfB Stuttgart last weekend.
On a positive note, Werder Bremen retain key players Victor Boniface and Felix Agu, who were spared Africa Cup of Nations duty. The team has been resilient on the road in patches and, with Augsburg weakened by absences, this is an opportunity for Werder Bremen to at least avoid defeat.
The Betting Verdict
Augsburg are missing crucial attacking players, and Werder Bremen, despite their poor form, has enough quality to exploit that.
A double chance on Bremen looks sensible as the main bet, while a cautious punter might also expect goals at both ends, given Werder Bremen’s tendency to concede on the road and Augsburg’s attacking gaps.
