However, Werder have also only won two of their eight home games (4D 2L) this Bundesliga season - since their re-promotion, they had always won at least three at home at this stage of the season.

FC Augsburg won 2-0 at 1. FC Union Berlin at the end of the first half of the season and could now celebrate two BL wins in a row for the first time this Bundesliga season. Last season, FCA started the second half of the season with a 2-1-win at Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Augsburg's 2-0 at Union Berlin saw them win their first away game in the Bundesliga this season after a run of 11 away games without a win (2D 9L) – it was the first since a 3-1 win at Wolfsburg in March 2024 last season. FCA could now go two away games in a row in the Bundesliga without conceding a goal for the first time since December 2021.
