Betting on Fußball-Club Augsburg
Although it was the first one to score in the second minute of play, creating a surprise atmosphere at the Allianz Arena against Bayern Munich last time out, Augsburg could not hold on to that lead for long and ended up losing 5-3. In fact, it conceded four goals in the same first half.
Since having lost that time, the Fuggerstädter has now failed to record similar results so far in 2023. In fact, the team has alternated wins and losses in the nine matches it has played since the begging of the year, something that will surely give its supporters hope in this clash.
Those good feelings could also be augmented by the fact that all four of Augsburg’s wins during that aforementioned stretch have come at home, even keeping a clean sheet in three of them.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Rafal Gikiewicz; Robert Gumny, Maximilian Bauer, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Iago; Arne Maier, Elvis Rexhbecaj, Ruben Vargas, Ermedin Demirovic; Mërgim Berisha, Dion Beljo.
Betting on FC Schalke 04
On the other hand, Schalke 04 continues its attempt to climb up the standings and avoid the relegation zone. Although injuries are still a problem, it comes into this clash on a positive run, avoiding defeat in its last seven games.
After recording four consecutive 0-0 draws, Die Königsblauen’s offense was able to score again, with two goals in its three previous appearances, including a thrilling 2-2 draw in the Ruhr Derby against Borussia Dortmund last weekend.
Although it is still in the relegation zone, Schalke knows very well that winning this game is of paramount importance. Besides, with a bit of luck on its side, it could get out of the bottom places, as it is only two points behind the fourteenth-placed team.
Possible lineup (4-5-1): Ralf Fährmann; Cedric Brunner, Moritz Jenz, Maya Yoshida, Henning Matriciani; Kenan Karaman, Tom Krauß, Alex Král, Éder Balanta, Marius Bülter; Michael Frey.
JefeBet Prediction
Although Augsburg has been very solid defensively at home recently, it has to face the offense of Schalke 04 that has lost just one of its last four away games. Thus, this game implies a big challenge for Augsburg.
Moreover, the home team is not one to let goals fall out of the bag at home either, scoring one goal or none in four of their last five matches at WWK ArenaThey will have a tough day against a Schalke side that has not conceded a goal in their last three away games.
To put things even more in Schalke’s favor is the fact that they have lost on only one of their 11 previous official visits to Augsburg’s home ground. Therefore, we expect to see a very even match, but with Schalke managing to maintain that trend and avoiding defeat once again in Augsburg.
Prediction: Schalke 04 Asian Handicap (AUG 0-1 SCH).
