Augsburg and Bayer will play against each other in the 19th round of the Bundesliga. The game will take place on February 3, at the WWK Arena in Augsburg. It will start at 22:30 Moscow time.
Augsburg
Augsburg have lost three of their last four matches in the German Bundesliga. Before the break, the team lost to Bochum with a minimum score (0-1). It also lost to Borussia Dortmund immediately after the break, but in a fairly competitive match (3-4).
A few days after this match, they managed to win against Borussia Mönchengladbach (1-0). Unfortunately, they lost the last match against Freiburg (1-3).
At the moment, Enrico Maaßen’s team is in 14th place in the elite division. They earned 18 points in 18 rounds. Mildly speaking, this is not a very solid performance.
Tobias Strobl, Iago, Ruben Vargas and André Hahn won’t be able to help their team in this match.
Bayer
Just before the upcoming match, the home team’s winning streak of five matches was broken by Borussia Dortmund (0-2).
Before the match against Borussia, Bayer successfully won over Köln (2-1), defeated Union (5-0) and beat Stuttgart (2-0). They earned their last points in the games against Bochum (2-0) and Borussia (3-2).
Xabi Alonso’s team earned 24 points and holds 9th place in the Bundesliga. Even if they win their next match, they won’t be able to get to the Eurocups’ zone yet.
The main player losses of Bayer before the match are Patrik Schick, Andrey Lunyov and Charles Aránguiz.
Prediction
Augsburg are much weaker than Bayer. The Black and Reds have already made enough mistakes to draw conclusions and earn three points in this coming match.
However, Augsburg is also capable of scoring a goal in this game. Therefore, the bet on a victory for Bayer and “both teams to score” with the option “yes” looks good.
In our prediction for the Augsburg vs Bayer match, we focus on a victory for Borussia and a coefficient of 1.85.
Probable result: victory for Bayer and odds of 1.85.
