Werder Bremen look to halt FC Augsburg's unbeaten start to the season as the visitors aim to maintain their position in the Bundesliga's top four.
Werder Bremen sit 10th with four points after three games following a 1-1 draw against FC Köln. Manager Daniel Thioune, who guided the club to safety last season, has overseen a steady start including a notable 3-1 win over RB Leipzig, though the side struggled against the press in their recent stalemate.
FC Augsburg have enjoyed a flying start to the campaign, sitting 4th with seven points. Manuel Baum's side followed up a 4-1 win at Eintracht Frankfurt with a 3-0 victory over FC Schalke 04. Although their three-match winning streak ended with a 2-2 draw against Bayer Leverkusen, they have scored at least twice in every league game so far.
