Augsburg

LWDLLL 📉

Augsburg will be hoping for a better result after a 4-0 Bundesliga losing effort in their last game against Stuttgart.

In that match, Augsburg managed 28% possession and 7 shots on goal with 0 on target. On the other side, Stuttgart got 29 attempts at goal with 11 on target. Atakan Karazor (8'), Nick Woltemade (51'), Enzo Millot (80') and Ermedin Demirović (87') scored for Stuttgart.

Augsburg have been quite ineffective in attack in recent times. Their ‘goals for’ figure stands at just 4 against opponents over their previous six fixtures. In those meetings, Augsburg have also seen the number of goals scored against them total 13.

Looking at their past form shows that Augsburg:

• have not been beaten in the league by Union Berlin in their previous 9 games. Quite a long unbeaten run against them.
• have not won at home in their last 3 matches in the league.

Union Berlin

WDDDDL

Following on from being beaten in their last game against Heidenheim in Bundesliga competition, Union Berlin will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that game, Union Berlin managed 49% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 1 on target. At the other end, Heidenheim had 8 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Adrian Beck (12', 73') and Jan Schöppner (56') scored for Heidenheim.

Steffen Baumgart's Union Berlin have had reason to celebrate scoring a total of 8 times throughout their most recent 6 matches. The aggregate of goals that they have conceded during those same clashes equals 10.

Taking a look at their past results, Union Berlin:

• are undefeated in their last 4 away league matches.
• are without an away win for the past 2 matches in the league.

📋 Team News: Augsburg

Yusuf Kabadayi (Knee surgery), Reece Oxford (Fitness) and Mergim Berisha (Thigh problems) will be missing for Augsburg gaffer Jess Thorup.

It’s our opinion that Augsburg will possibly use a 3-4-2-1 formation for this game, utilising Finn Dahmen, Chrislain Matsima, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Cedric Zesiger, Marius Wolf, Frank Onyeka, Kristijan Jakic, Dimitrios Giannoulis, Mert Komur, Alexis Claude and Phillip Tietz.

📋 Team News: Union Berlin

Union Berlin boss Steffen Baumgart has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Robert Skov (Foot injury), Jérôme Roussillon (Knock), Aljoscha Kemlein (Foot surgery), Diogo Leite (Head injury) and Woo-yeong Jeong (Ankle injury) are not ready for selection.

There’s a good chance that Union seem likely to play in a 4-4-2 formation, settling for Alexander Schwolow, Danilho Doekhi, Rani Khedira, Leopold Querfeld, Josip Juranovic, Janik Haberer, Andras Schafer, Tom Rothe, David Preu, 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.
