In our view, Leverkusen should make use of the 3-4-2-1 formation in the match, utilising Lukas Hradecky, Edmond Tapsoba, Jonathan Tah, Piero Hincapié, Jeremie Frimpong, Granit Xhaka, Exequiel Palacios, Alejandro Grimaldo, Nathan Tella, Florian Wirtz and Patrik Schick.

ℹ️ Team News: Augsburg

Augsburg manager Jess Thorup has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Noahkai Banks (Thigh problems), Yusuf Kabadayi (Knee surgery) and Reece Oxford (Fitness) are not able to play.

We believe Augsburg seem likely to utilise a 3-4-2-1 formation, choosing Finn Dahmen, Chrislain Matsima, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Cedric Zesiger, Marius Wolf, Kristijan Jakic, Frank Onyeka, Dimitrios Giannoulis, Fredrik Jensen, A. Claude Maurice and Samuel Essende.

⚡ Prediction

Bayer Leverkusen should create enough chances to score more than one when they play Augsburg, who may well find it hard to find the back of the net.

We can therefore see a 2-0 winning margin for Bayer Leverkusen when all’s said and done.
