Augsburg vs Wolfsburg Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 28th October 2023

Augsburg will be hosting a WWK Arena encounter on Saturday when Wolfsburg arrive for a test of their credentials.

Augsburg are placed tenth with eight points after eight matches. Wolfsburg occupy a position as ninth in the league on 12 points.

While Wolfsburg could be closing on the top 6 with a win here, Augsburg will be hoping to add some distance to the lower regions. Of these two possible scenarios, the former definitely looks more likely than the latter.

Augsburg only average a modest 1.5 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 15 goals. They also conceded 24 for an average of 2.4 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring zero times.

Wolfsburg are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 12 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.2 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of 15 goals, and while Wolfsburg claimed two clean sheets, they conceded an average of 1.5 goals per match.

Betting on the draw would have earned you a sound profit the last time Augsburg played Wolfsburg. The pair split the points in a 2-2 match, where no one managed to get the upper hand.

Augsburg vs Wolfsburg Prediction

Augsburg Form

Augsburg suffered a couple of disappointments in their last three matches, as they were run over by Freiburg in a 2-0 defeat. Darmstadt also proved too hard to handle, as they won 1-2, before Augsburg were able to strike back last time out in a 2-5 win against FC Heidenheim. Augsburg only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Bundesliga matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew two and lost two, as they scored ten and conceded 12 goals.

Wolfsburg Form

Wolfsburg have been a bit bleak in their last three matches, although it started with a 2-0 win against Eintracht. Unable to follow that up, they went down 3-1 against VfB Stuttgart, before handing over all three points in a 1-2 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen. Wolfsburg only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Bundesliga. In these six matches they drew zero and lost five as well as being outscored by 16 goals to four.

Going forward, Augsburg and Wolfsburg are both in decent form, while at the same time being generous in defence. We are confident, both teams will find the back of the net on Saturday.

Augsburg claimed two wins, two draws as well as four defeats in the Bundesliga this season. Wolfsburg are yet to play a draw this season, in stead recording four wins and four defeats in the Bundesliga.
