Augsburg arrives demotivated to this match, after a 2-0 defeat at home, against the Berlin Union. The Augsburg is an aggressive team in the field, both in the recovery of possession of the ball, and in individual duels. The greatest strength of the home team are counterattacks, being a team with very competent players in this process. It should be noted that one of the main weaknesses of this team is the way they defend the stopped balls. The home team generally acts in a tactical system in 4-3-3, favoring rapid transitions, mainly through the wings. In this tactical scheme, the three men responsible for panicking in the defense of the rival are Niederlechner, Vargas and Richter. The Augsburg coach will not be able to count on Schieber and Córdoba, since they are delivered to the medical department.

Werder Bremen:

After 4 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses, the away team is currently in 16th position, with 17 points won. In his last match, he lost with Hoffenheim at home by (0‑3), after in the previous match having won out, in a match against Fortuna Düsseldorf, by (0‑1).

For the championship, Werder Bremen conquered 12 points in 30 possible, after 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in the last 10 games he played as a visitor. The team allowed goals to the opponent in 9 of the last 10 games for this competition, so he was not very strong defensively. In 19 games in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 9 times and never got the comeback.

Werder Bremen is demotivated for this match, after a 0-3 loss at home, against Hoffenheim. Werder Bremen is a team that likes to play in the center of the field, with the aim of trying to surprise the opponent in quick exits for the counterattack. It should be noted that the visiting club has some gaps, mainly in air football, because this is where the team often compromises its results. The club generally plays in a 5-3-2, in which the two most advanced players are Rashica and Sargent. For this match, the visitors coach will not be able to count on Lang, Gebre Selassie, Fullkrug, Mohwald, Bargfrede and Augustinsson, for having been injured. It should be noted that Friedl will also be absent, because he is suspended.
