Bayer Leverkusen vs Augsburg Preview and Team News

Bayer Leverkusen Team News

Bayer Leverkusen’s 1-1 draw against St. Pauli in the last round diminished Xabi Alonso’s team’s chances of a H2H Bundesliga trophy. They had a lead in the first half, but following their lacklustre performance, which created only 0.20 xG in the second, they eventually failed to claim a victory.

Leverkusen are currently eight points behind the leaders, Bayern, with four rounds to go. However, the gap from the third-placed Eintracht are 12. The hosts shouldn’t worry about qualifying for the upcoming Champions League season.

Ahead of the clash, Bayer will be without long-term absentees. Jeanuel Belocian, Martin Terrier, and Mario Hermoso are all sidelined and are unlikely to feature in this campaign.

Augsburg Team News

Despite an advantage, Augsburg were also dealt a goalless stalemate against Eintracht in their previous fixture. Even though their opponents had less time to rest, they couldn’t capitalize on it and drew another game.

With 43 points, they currently sit 10th. While the top four finish still seems theoretically possible, given their schedule, it could be tricky to enter a European competition spot.

Augsburg have three absent players ahead of Saturday’s match. Arne Maier is suspended following a red card. Yusuf Kabadayi and Reece Oxford are both out due to fitness concerns.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Augsburg. Bundesliga Prediction 

• Pick: Leverkusen to Win
• Odds: 1.33 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 Augsburg. Bundesliga

Leverkusen are now on a three-game winning run in H2H matches, conceding only a single goal. While this season is not as dominant as the previous one for Alonso’s squad, they’re the favourites against their rivals.

Bayer are the second-best team in the Bundesliga, judging by their results. Augsburg, on the other hand, are tenth on away terms and have only scored 17 goals in 15 games.

While the hosts may have little motivation left, they might have an advantage and dominate the encounter. So, our first pick for this weekend would be Leverkusen to win. 

Bayer Leverkusen vs Augsburg. Bundesliga Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
• Odds: 2.01 (22Bet)

Bayer have been completely opposite compared to their last Bundesliga. They’re not scoring as often, and when in the lead, they usually aim to maintain the advantage.

As for Augsburg, they haven’t distinguished themselves with very many goals either. Moreover, three out of the last four H2H meetings ended with fewer than three goals netted.

Given their recent displays, we think that this weekend’s game will be mostly one-sided and not a goal-fest. Augsburg will struggle on offence and sit back in defence, which will be problematic for Leverkusen. Our second pick here would be under 2.5 goals.
