With both Wolfsburg and Augsburg sitting comfortably mid-table, both teams will be out to strengthen their position when facing off this coming Saturday at Volkswagen Arena. Three more points could prove valuable in achieving their targets for this Bundesliga campaign.

We are bound to see an exciting game this coming Saturday as both Wolfsburg and Augsburg are looking to add some much-needed points to their respective accounts.

Wolfsburg only average a modest 1.1 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 11 goals. They also conceded 16 for an average of 1.6 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring zero times.

When it comes to goal-scoring Augsburg are not the most prolific side. They scored a sustainable 16 times in their previous ten matches, making it 1.6 goals per game. They conceded 13 goals for an average of 1.3 a game, achieving a clean sheet in two of these matches.

Their latest encounter was a belter of a game, which finished with a 3-2 scoreline. An uncommon result, but we would not mind a similar goal fest on Saturday.

Wolfsburg vs Augsburg Prediction

Wolfsburg Form

A draw was the best Wolfsburg could muster in their previous three games. They claimed a 2-2 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt, before getting trounced 2-3 against VfB Stuttgart. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Bayer Leverkusen ran out 2-0 winners. Wolfsburg are without a win in their last six Bundesliga matches on home soil, which produced a record of three draws and three defeats, in which they conceded ten and scored seven goals.

Augsburg Form

Augsburg are in awesome shape going into this next encounter, as they won their last three matches on the bounce. Freiburg got left behind in a 2-1 win, before Darmstadt got hammered in a 0-6 victory. FC Heidenheim was the most recent victim in a 1-0 win for Augsburg. In their last six away matches in the Bundesliga, Augsburg won twice, while also recording one draw. They endured three defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying eight goals conceded and nine scored.

Wolfsburg go into their match at Volkswagen Arena as favourites with the bookies, but form has been too shabby for us to back that claim. We prefer a bet on Augsburg, while the more cautious punter might prefer the double-chance.

Wolfsburg claimed six wins, seven draws as well as 12 defeats in the Bundesliga this season. Augsburg enjoy a record of eight wins, eight draws and nine defeats in the Bundesliga.
