The action in the Bundesliga this weekend kicks off on Friday evening, as Augsburg look to get their European challenge back on track. Union Berlin will be the visitors, as they look to improve their recent poor run of results to move clear of the drop zone.
Bundesliga Preview
It has been a testing period in the Bundesliga for both Augsburg and Union Berlin, with both coming into this latest round of matches after having failed to win in their last two outings. There will be increased pressure on Augsburg with home field advantage this weekend, as they desperately require maximum points to close the gap on the European positions.
The German side comes into this round after winning three of their last five matches, but the fact that they have gone two without a victory means that Eintracht Frankfurt are now six points clear of their rivals. Augsburg were handed a defeat in their latest match in the competition after losing 3-1 on the road against Hoffenheim. Another defeat this weekend could see them end the round as low as ninth.
Union Berlin will also be playing for vital points this weekend, as they look to claim a victory to enhance their chances of avoiding relegation this term. The German side currently sits six points clear of the bottom three places, but they have recorded just one victory over their last five matches in the competition.
Like their rivals, Union also comes into this round of matches after having failed to win in their last two fixtures in the competition. They were helpless in ending that sequence last weekend after suffering a 1-0 defeat at home against Bayer Leverkusen. But, their chances in that match were negatively impacted after Robin Gosens was sent off before half time.
Augsburg vs Union Berlin Head to Head
Augsburg have a very good record in this fixture after having gone seven league matches without defeat against Union. Over that period, the home team has picked up four victories. That includes victories in each of their last three home matches against their rivals.
Augsburg vs Union Berlin Prediction
Augsburg’s excellent record in this fixture is the key trend to follow this weekend. They have a dominant home record against Union, and for that reason, we will be siding with the hosts to gain maximum points on Friday to kick off the Bundesliga weekend.
