Augsburg vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen Preview
Augsburg
Augsburg have been in poor form this season, with just four wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses. This leaves them 13th on the table with 16 points, a healthy 11 points off the bottom two.
Ahead of hosting Leverkusen on Saturday, the Fuggerstädter have won four times at home, drawn twice, and been defeated just once in a good run in front of their fans. The good home form will comfort Jess Thorup as he prepares his side to host the defending Bundesliga champions.

The front two of Tietz and Essende will be central for Augsburg as they bid to continue. They were at hand to score a goal each in the surprising 2-2 draw away to Eintracht last time out.
Thorup’s 3-5-2 formation will look to play narrow and deep, making it difficult for Leverkusen to create chances down the middle. Our free football predictions show this structure will make this match a tight contest.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Bayer 04 Leverkusen are in good form in the Bundesliga this season. They have seven wins, 5 draws, and 1 loss in the opening 13 matches, which puts them 3rd on the table.
Crucially for Xabi Alonso’s men, they’re unbeaten away from home this season, where they’ve won three games and drawn three.

Alonso’s 4-2-3-1 formation, especially with Palacios and Xhaka at the base of midfield, has been crucial in handing the defending champions the domination they need.
Florian Wirtz has been Leverkusen’s chief creative player and attacking threat. Football bet predictions on 22Bet show that the German will be influential for the visitors on Saturday.

- Pick: Leverkusen To Win
- Odds: 1.57 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Augsburg 1-2 Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Augsburg’s form in the Bundesliga is at a low ebb. They have won four times over the opening 13 outings, drawn four, and lost five times. They’ve scored a decent 16 goals but conceded a significant 25 goals in this run.
The hosts will be without a few players in the coming game. Reece Oxford, Fredrik Jensen, Dimitrios Giannoulis, Mads Pedersen, Robert Gumny, and Finn Dahmen will be sidelined due to injury. Their absences will affect the team’s strength against in-form Leverkusen.

Xabi Alonso will miss players Victor Boniface, Jonas Hofmann, and Amine Adli on their trip to Augsburg on Saturday.
Three consecutive wins in their last three outings show an upturn in their form. They sit third on the table, a point behind second-placed Eintracht and seven points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
Our football predictions show that Bayer will be the favourites in Saturday’s clash against Augsburg. They have the form and the squad momentum to take all three points.
Augsburg vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Bayer 04 Leverkusen to Score From 1 and 15 Minutes
- Odds: 3.55 (22Bet)
Leverkusen have shown a cutting-edge in the final third, even without the sidelined Victor Boniface. The relationship among the five attacking players, midfielders Frimpong, Wirtz, and Grimaldo, and the striker Tella, shows significant promise in the Bundesliga.
Up against an Augsburg side that have conceded 25 goals in 13 matches, football predictions analysis on 22Bet shows that Leverkusen will have a chance for a fast start to the game. They’ll dictate the tempo in midfield, play on the front foot, and have a great opportunity to open the scoring within the first 15 minutes.
