Werder Bremen vs Augbsurg preview: Can the hosts clinch safety?
Werder Bremen
While itâs not quite official, Werder Bremen took a big step towards securing safety last weekend.
First, on Saturday, they had a handful of results go their way. St. Pauli were beaten by last-place Heidenheim, while Wolfsburg were held to a point at home by Borussia Mönchengladbach. That was already good enough, but then both Köln and Hamburg also lost.
That gave Bremen an opening, and they took advantage of it. Away to top-four VfB Stuttgart, the visitors took the lead midway through the first half, and despite conceding later on they still did enough to secure a draw. It was a good result and a good performance.
With all those scores in mind, the Bundesliga table is looking quite nice. Werder jumped up to 12th, a remarkable achievement considering they were in legitimate danger of automatic relegation a few months ago. The most important thing is that they are six points clear of 16th and seven points clear of 17th place.
If the Green-Whites are going to go down, they will have to collapse and have all the teams below them go on winning runs. Thatâs unlikely, but itâs not impossible, which is why the club will want to officially put their worries to bed with a win here.
The test will be tough, but Bremen will still fancy their chances of clinching all three points. They will be at home, in front of a fanbase that is growing increasingly pleased and hopeful by the week. The defense has been solid, while those in the final third have provided moments of magic in key moments.
