Prediction published on 02/02/2023, 12:03  by Daniel Ngulu in Bundesliga Prediction

Both Augsburg and Bayer Leverkusen are coming from defeats in the Bundesliga and will be looking to bounce back. The hosts, Augsburg, go into this game placed 14th with 18 points while Leverkusen are six points ahead, and in ninth place. In terms of recent form, Augsburg take into this game a poorer run. Their 2-1 loss to Freiburg in the last game was their third in four Bundesliga matches. They have one win only in their last 10 matches, a run in which they’ve suffered six losses and kept just one clean sheet. Their only clean sheet came in 1-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach, right before losing to Freiburg and they’ve scored in nine of their last 10 league matches. Seven times in 10 league matches, they’ve conceded two or more goals. Going into this game, Augsburg are just two points above the relegation playoff spot.

Bayer Leverkusen are coming from a first loss after five straight wins; they fell 2-0 at home to Borussia Dortmund in their last game. That was their third loss in 10 matches in Bundesliga, a run in which they have six wins so they will approach this game as firm favorites. The improvement at the team since the arrival of Xabi Alonso as manager is undeniable. Leverkusen are 10 points below the top four and they have reason to believe they can get into European football slots. The loss to Dortmund marked their second game without a goal in the last 10 league matches. They have scored two or more goals in seven of the last 10 matches in Bundesliga and two straight away wins in the league should give them confidence ahead of this game.
