Augsburg

LWWDDL ⚖

Augsburg will be hoping to bounce back here following a 3-0 Bundesliga loss in their previous game against Bayern Munich.

In that game, Augsburg had 20% possession and 2 attempts at goal with 1 of them on target. At the other end, Bayern Munich got 33 shots on goal with 14 on target. Harry Kane (63', 93', 95') scored for Bayern Munich.

Jess Thorup's Augsburg have seen rewards for their attempts on goal 7 times in their past half-dozen outings. Conversely, the number of goals that they have conceded in that same time amounts to 8.

Looking at their past form shows that Augsburg:

• are unbeaten in the league by VfL Bochum in their previous 2 games.
• have not beaten VfL Bochum in their last 4 matches in the league.
• have not been beaten in their last 3 league matches at home.

VfL Bochum

LLLLDL ⚠

Since a losing effort in their last game against Stuttgart in Bundesliga action, VfL Bochum will be aiming to make amends here.

In that game, VfL Bochum managed 42% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 2 on target. On the other side, Stuttgart got 15 attempts at goal with 5 on target. Chris Führich (53') and Justin Diehl (78') scored for Stuttgart.

Proving their involvement in fruitful encounters, goals have been scored 26 times in the last six matches in which VfL Bochum have taken to the field, yielding a mean average of 4.33 goals each fixture. Opposition teams have managed 21 of these goals. That sort of trend isn’t assured to follow through into this match, of course.

Coming into this fixture, VfL Bochum have not won away from home in their last 7 league matches.

📰 Team News: Augsburg

Tim Breithaupt (Ankle injury), Fredrik Jensen (Groin surgery), Dimitrios Giannoulis (Adductor injury), Reece Oxford (Fitness) and Robert Gumny (Muscle injury) will not be able to play for Augsburg boss Jess Thorup.

It seems likely that Augsburg look set to line up in a 3-5-2 formation for this game, handing starts to Nediljko Labrovic, Maximilian Bauer, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Chrislain Matsima, Marius Wolf, Elvis Rexhbecaj, Kristijan Jakic, Frank Onyeka, M. Valentin Pedersen, Alexis Claude and Phillip Tietz.

🗞️ Team News: VfL Bochum

From a largely healthy group of players, there is only a single fitness issue for the VfL Bochum boss Dieter Hecking to be concerned about. Myron Boadu (Hip problems) won’t be playing here.

From our viewpoint, Bochum will likely utilise a 3-5-2 lineup using Patrick Drewes, Tim Oermann, Jakov Medic, Bernardo, Felix Passlack, Ibrahima Sissoko, Anthony Losilla, Matus Bero, Maximilian Wittek, Philipp Hofmann and Moritz Broschinski.

✨ Prediction

Augsburg will most probably be able to score a couple when they meet VfL Bochum, who will not find it easy scoring a goal of their own.

We’re therefore expecting to see a decent 2-0 win for Augsburg at full-time.
