FC Augsburg will field an unchanged starting lineup for their Bundesliga away match at Werder Bremen on Saturday. Manager Jess Thorup is sticking with the side that has impressed in recent games, while the hosts are grappling with significant injury woes.
The match at the Weserstadion kicks off at 15:30 and will be broadcast live on Sky and via the DAZN conference. Werder are missing several key players. In addition to the suspended midfielder Senne Lynen, Felix Agu, Keke Topp, Jens Stage and Justin Njinmah are all out injured. Daniel Thioune is forced to field a patched-up eleven.
Augsburg's Lineup
Thorup keeps faith with Dahmen in goal. The back four consists of Brackelmann, Matsima, Kömür and Wolf. Massengo and Rieder operate in midfield, with Gregoritsch, Behrens and Fellhauer providing the threat up front. On the bench are options like Labrovic, the experienced Gouweleeuw, Claude-Maurice and Keitel. The team aims to seize the opportunity and extend their current positive run. Augsburg sit fourth in the table with seven points from four games and have won three of their last five. Top scorer Michael Gregoritsch travels to Bremen in good form with three goals this season.
The last meeting between the sides just days ago ended in a 3-2 defeat for Augsburg. After the trip to Bremen, the next big challenge awaits after the international break: on October 10th, Augsburg host Bayern Munich, who currently sit second in the standings.
