Correct score prediction: Augsburg 2-1 Werder Bremen

Augsburg might be under new leadership, but one win from two is not exactly a new manager bounce. Despite this Augsburg look in a better place under Manuel Baum and they will be looking to bag their second win in three games. Werder Bremen, on the other hand, are winless in their last four outings. What's more, they have got a dreadful away record this season, leaving us no choice but to stick with the hosts in this one.

Augsburg marked the sacking of Sandro Wagner with a shock victory over Bayer Leverkusen, but they were unable to follow that up against Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend as they fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat. The team will be hoping to have a permanent manager in place by the end of the winter break, though the attention for now remains on Manuel Baum, who will be looking to make a great impression.

Werder Bremen preview: Worrying stats

Werder Bremen come into this game on the back of a four-match winless run, which includes a 4-0 thumping at the hands of Stuttgart last time out. On top of their poor current form, Bremen have also performed poorly on the road this season, winning just one away game across all competitions. This is a big game for Bremen as it marks an opportunity for the club to take a big step away from the relegation zone. However, they will be without the injured Felix Agu and Mitchell Weiser. Defender Karim Coulibaly is suspended after picking up a red card in the defeat to Stuttgart, while Victor Boniface, Leonardo Bittencourt and Marco Friedl are all doubts.

Player to watch: Fabian Rieder

Augsburg are not in possession of a dangerous talisman this season, but Fabian Rieder is certainly trying his best.

The player leads the way for the club, scoring three league goals this season and chipping in with two assists. Interestingly, none of his goals have come in winning games.
