Union Berlin vs Augsburg Prediction

Union Berlin Form

A solitary draw point prevents Union Berlin from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They came up short in a 0-3 defeat against Eintracht, before drawing 1-1 with SSC Napoli. They came up empty-handed once again when Bayer Leverkusen ran out as 4-0 winners. Union Berlin only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Bundesliga matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew zero and lost four, as they scored five and conceded 12 goals.

Augsburg Form

Augsburg currently look solid after going three matches unbeaten. They laid the groundworks by beating Wolfsburg with a 3-2 scoreline, before settling for a point in a 1-1 draw against FC Koln. Their latest match once again had them share the points, this time in a 1-1 draw against Hoffenheim. Augsburg managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Bundesliga. On top of winning once they also drew one as well as losing four, while scoring 13 time and letting in seven.

We trust neither defence to be able to keep their opponent at bay, when Union Berlin welcome Augsburg on Saturday. Goals should be flowing at both ends of the pitch.

Augsburg recorded two wins from their last five games against teams placed in the bottom six and collected eight points. They scored 11 goals while conceding eight. Union Berlin are yet to play a draw this season, in stead recording two wins and nine defeats in the Bundesliga. Augsburg have three wins, four draws and four defeats in the Bundesliga.
