SV Werder Bremen vs FC Augsburg

Werder Bremen welcome Augsburg to the Weserstadion for a matchday four clash with sharply contrasting stories so far. Augsburg have made the league's best start, sitting top of the table, while Bremen are mid-table but riding a confidence boost after a big win on home turf. Augsburg have been ruthless in front of goal, following up their opening win with a 4-1 comeback victory away at Eintracht Frankfurt, Fabian Rieder and Arijon Ibrahimovic among the scorers in a dominant second-half showing. Bremen, meanwhile, brushed past RB Leipzig 3-1 at home, with Niclas Füllkrug and Marco Grull both finding the net in an energetic display backed by a lively crowd. Historically these sides are evenly matched, with Augsburg holding a narrow edge in head-to-head meetings, and recent encounters have tended to be tight, low-separation affairs. With both attacks in good early rhythm, this one shapes up as an open, entertaining contest. Our prediction: 2-1
