Werder Bremen host FC Augsburg on Saturday, September 19, in a Bundesliga match at the Weser-Stadion, kicking off at 3:30 PM local time. Following a 1-1 draw away to Cologne and a convincing 3-1 home win over RB Leipzig, Ole Werner's side aims to continue its positive home form. Werder currently sits 10th in the table with four points from three matches.
Werder's record from the last five games shows two wins, one draw, and two defeats. The last outing against Cologne featured a battling display, rewarded by Niclas Füllkrug's 69th-minute equaliser. Füllkrug is the team's top scorer this season with two goals. Opponents Augsburg, however, have made a surprisingly strong start with seven points from three games and sit third. They recently drew 2-2 with Leverkusen and won 4-1 at Frankfurt.
Squad depth is tested. Alongside the long-term absentees Felix Agu and Moussa Ndiaye, Jens Stage and Justin Njinmah are also unavailable. This forces manager Werner to consider rotations. For the last starting eleven against Cologne, he used a 4-2-3-1 formation with Karl Hein in goal and a double pivot of Leandro Reis and Youri Regeer. The full overview of the current squad shows the available options.
The last meeting between the two sides ended goalless in December 2025. For Werder, the task is now to prove their home strength against the ambitious newly-promoted side and move up the standings. The next fixtures in a busy schedule are already waiting.
