Augsburg – Union Berlin : Preview & Prediction
On behalf of the 21st day of the Bundesliga, Augsburg receives Union Berlin. For the locals, the current season is more than negative because they currently occupy 16th place in the Bundesliga but are only 2 points behind the first non-relegation player and are therefore not doomed even if it is already necessary to alarm. The Bavarian club remains on a series of 5 games without a win with in particular 1 single point taken out of 9 possible since the beginning of 2022. Upon returning from the truce, the Augsburg players were indeed defeated by Hoffenheim (3-1), before to tie the draw against Frankfurt (1-1) and to fall heavily on the lawn of Bayer Leverkusen (5-1).
On the side of Union Berlin, the results are very positive after 20 days because the Iron Men occupy an encouraging 4th place with already 34 points acquired. However, the top of the table is very uncertain because RB Leipzig 6th is only 3 points behind so nothing is decided yet. In the last 5 matches, the capital’s players have won 4 in all competitions. Finally, this team is currently on a series of 3 consecutive victories against Hoffenheim (2-1), Hertha Berlin (3-2) in the German Cup and against Borussia Mönchengladbach (2-1) on the last day.
During the first leg, two teams left in a draw (0-0).
3 of the last 5 meetings have seen both teams score.
The locals are in the relegation zone as the visitors occupy a surprising 4th place.
Augsburg have the 3rd worst defense in the Bundesliga.
In Augsburg’s last 6 receptions in the Bundesliga, all 6 have seen both teams score.
Augsburg have lost just one of their last 8 receptions.
In this clash of opposites, we should still witness a balanced and highly contested meeting. Indeed, the locals are at an impasse and absolutely must win to try to get out of the red zone as quickly as possible. On the other, Union Berlin is in a rather surprising 4th place and seems to be at full speed in recent weeks. The locals are capable of putting in very good performances and are quite capable of hindering Union Berlin at home. That’s why we’re assuming both teams to score in this match.
