Mergim Berisha (Thigh problems), Noahkai Banks (Fitness), Yusuf Kabadayi (Knee surgery), Reece Oxford (Fitness), Fredrik Jensen (Knock) and Marius Wolf (Abdominal muscle strain) won’t be available for Augsburg gaffer Jess Thorup.

Team News: Union Berlin
Union Berlin manager Steffen Baumgart has to currently contend with reduced team options. Robert Skov (Foot injury), Jérôme Roussillon (Knock), Woo-yeong Jeong (Ankle injury), Aljoscha Kemlein (Foot surgery) and Diogo Leite (Head injury) won’t be making appearances.
We are inclined to think that Union could decide to begin the game with a 3-5-2 system with a starting lineup of Frederik Rønnow, Danilho Doekhi, Leopold Querfeld, Kevin Vogt, Christopher Trimmel, Lászlo Bénes, Rani Khedira, Janik Haberer, Tom Rothe, Benedict Hollerbach and Tim Skarke.

Prediction
In our view, Union Berlin are capable enough to put one past this Augsburg team, however that probably shouldn’t be enough to prevent defeat.
We reckon that it will be a close game with a 2-1 winning score for Augsburg at full-time.
