Team News: Augsburg
Mergim Berisha (Thigh problems), Noahkai Banks (Fitness), Yusuf Kabadayi (Knee surgery), Reece Oxford (Fitness), Fredrik Jensen (Knock) and Marius Wolf (Abdominal muscle strain) aren’t available for Augsburg boss Jess Thorup.
It seems likely that Augsburg could line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation this time and select Finn Dahmen, Chrislain Matsima, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Cedric Zesiger, Robert Gumny, Frank Onyeka, Kristijan Jakic, Dimitrios Giannoulis, Mert Komur, A. Claude Maurice and Phillip Tietz.

Team News: Union Berlin
Union Berlin boss Steffen Baumgart has not got a full squad to pick from. Robert Skov (Foot injury), Jérôme Roussillon (Knock), Woo-yeong Jeong (Ankle injury), Aljoscha Kemlein (Foot surgery) and Diogo Leite (Head injury) can’t be considered.
We believe Union might elect for a 3-5-2 lineup, choosing Frederik Rønnow, Danilho Doekhi, Leopold Querfeld, Kevin Vogt, Christopher Trimmel, Lászlo Bénes, Rani Khedira, Janik Haberer, Tom Rothe, Benedict Hollerbach and Tim Skarke.

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.
