Command Analysis
Werder Bremen
GermanyCurrent form
Werder can put the first half of the season in the Bundesliga as an asset. After 17 rounds, the Bremen team is in ninth place and has a good chance to fight for one of the tickets to the European Cups, as they are only two points behind the top 6. However, it is somewhat alarming that after the Christmas break, the team did not win a single game in two rounds. On the road, they lost 2:4 to Leipzig, and at home they failed to beat Heidenheim (3:3). Unlike the last matches before the New Year, the defense began to noticeably sag, after all, seven goals conceded in two matches is clearly too much.

Agu and Topp will not play today due to injuries. Linen has too many cards.

Augsburg
GermanyCurrent form
In the last round, Augsburg pleased their fans with their first away win in the current Bundesliga season. They managed to beat Union, who are in crisis, with a score of 2:0. Overall, Jess Thorup men are not having the strongest tournament, occupying 12th place in the table with 19 points. Traditionally, the Fuggers do not have the best away matches - only five points scored away. Moreover, Augsburg have scored seven goals in foreign arenas, only Union has a worse result. Another away game is ahead, and against a not very convenient opponent - four out of the last five matches in Bremen were lost.

Trends
Bet: Werder to score in the first half
In three of the last five matches, Werder scored goals in the opening 45 minutes
1.68Bet Total first half over 1.5 goals
The bet has played in the hosts' three previous matches
2.70Bet Exact score 3:1
Werder have won two of their last three home victories in head-to-head matches with a two-goal advantage
14.50Tip and bets
We believe that the most optimal bet for this match would be on the total over goals scored. After the Christmas break, Werder clearly had problems in defense, as evidenced by seven goals conceded in two games. At the same time, Bremen do not experience any difficulties in attack, on average they score almost two goals. Augsburg is always ready to support bold and open football.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.87
Bet on the outcome
Overall, Werder has been performing better than its opponents this season and is rightfully considered a favorite by bookmakers today. The hosts will obviously try to rehabilitate themselves for their last two unsuccessful matches, especially since the opponent is suitable for this. Augsburg very rarely achieves success away from home, and in Bremen they lost four of their previous five head-to-head matches.
The second bet is Werder victory with odds of 1.90
Yellow Card Betting
In the first round head-to-head match, the opponents played a tough game, in which they drew 2:2. Four yellow cards were shown in that match. It is unlikely that we should expect fewer warnings today.
Betting Tip - total over 3.5 yellow cards with odds of 1.51
