Augsburg Team News

After victory against Borussia from Monchengladbach in the 17th round of the Bundesliga, Augsburg was defeated 3-1 against Freiburg in the last round. So after 18 rounds played Augsburg is in 14th place in the table with 18 points won, which is only two points more than Bochum who is currently in the relegation zone along with Hertha and Schalke.

Augsburg could end up in the bottom three after this round. They managed to achieve only one triumph against Leverkusen in mutual duels and that was in the previous away game in mid-August when they were at the BayArena better with a score of 1-2.

In front of their fans, they still didn’t win against Bayer. Augsburg has a record of 9 defeats and 4 draws, so this will be a difficult match for them, which they will have to play under great pressure.

Bayer Leverkusen

On the other hand, after two victories at the start of the second part of the season, against Borussia Monchengladbach (2-3) and Bochum (2-0), Bayer lost against Borussia Dortmund in the last round. The popular Millionaires celebrated with a score of 0-2 and thus ended the streak of five victories of the team from Leverkusen.

While that defeat was disappointing for the fans, their coach Xabi Alonso is doing great job. Leverkusen was in the relegation zone before in October.

Leverkusen enters the 19th round of the Bundesliga as the ninth ranked team with six points less than the first six teams on the table. So they will have to win next match to catch up with the leading teams as soon as possible. Winning a match against Augsburg should not be a problem for Bayer.

H2H

These two teams met 25 times in all competitions. Bayer Leverkusen is convincingly the better rival in their head-to-head duels with 17 wins, while Augsburg achieved only one triumph in their last meeting. 7 games ended in a draw.

Injuries and suspensions

Augsburg: Irvin Cardona, Andre Hahn, Iago, Reece Oxford, Tobias Strobl and Ruben Vargas are injured. Ermedin Demirović will not play due to yellow cards.

Bayer Leverkusen: Charles Aranguiz, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Andrey Lunev are injured. Patrik Schick is questionable for this match.

Augsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction

In four of the last five meetings between these two teams, over 2.5 goals were scored. In each of those four mentioned games we saw goals on both sides.

Augsburg have scored in each of their previous three matches this season, while Leverkusen have scored over 2.5 goals in eight of their last ten away games in the Bundesliga.

So our suggestion for this match is both Teams to Score + total goals over 2.5, which is valued at excellent odds of 1.95 of bet365 bookmakers.
