Augsburg Preview
Augsburg currently occupies the 14th place in the Bundesliga standings. So far this season, Enrico Maaßen’s team has five wins, three draws and ten defeats. In the last five matchdays, the Fuggerstädter have achieved only one victory, so they will surely come into this game looking to continue racking up points to climb at least two positions in the standings.
In their last match against Freiburg, Augsburg lost by a score of 3-1 and confirmed that they still have to work a lot if they want to move out of the bottom places. Goals from Gregoritsch, Holer and Lienhart made it a party for the home side and left them in a great position for now.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Rafał Gikiewicz; Robert Gumny, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Felix Uduokhai, Mads Pedersen; Arne Maier, Arne Engels, Elvis Rexhbecaj, Ermedin Demirović; Drena Dijon, Mërgim Berisha.
Leverkusen Preview
Leverkusen is currently ninth in the Bundesliga standings. The team coached by Spaniard Xabi Alonso has achieved 7 wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats so far this season.
In the last five matchdays, Bayer registers four wins, and although they lost their unbeaten streak on matchday 18, they will surely come into the Augsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen match looking to regain their credibility and fight for a place in the top 6. At this point in the competition, the difference in units begins to be evident, and they cannot let time pass to take the first places.
In their most recent match against Borussia Dortmund, Leverkusen lost 2-0 in a game where they had good chances, but a goal in the 33rd minute and an own goal by Edmond Tapsoba sealed the match.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Lukáš Hradecky; Jeremie Frimpong, Edmond Tapsoba, Jonathan Tah, Piero Hincapié; Exequiel Palacios, Robert Andrich, Nadiem Amiri; Moussa Diaby, Florian Wirtz, Amine Adli.
JefeBet Prediction
Considering their recent results, we believe that the away team will take the victory in this Augsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen. The team led by Xabi Alonso has had more moments of victory than bitter taste, and in most of their performances they have scored more than one goal.
Augsburg, on the other hand, has home advantage, but a dearth of points and goals is starting to complicate their situation in the tournament.
Prediction: Bayer Leverkusen wins 2-1.
