Augsburg – Bayer Leverkusen Predictions and Preview

  • In recent weeks, Augsburg has moved out of the relegation zone in the Bundesliga, leading manager Jess Thorup to praise his team for taking a “step in the right direction.” With only one defeat in their last six league games (two wins and three draws), the club has built up a six-point cushion to the bottom three, and even that loss came against top-ranked Bayern Munich!
  • Despite this impressive streak, Fuggerstädter’s most recent result was a 2-2 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt, which means they remain without an away victory in the top flight this season (two draws and four losses). They will be thrilled to return to the WWK Arena, where Augsburg have accumulated 14 of their 16 points (four wins, two draws, one loss). Their current five-game unbeaten streak (four wins and one draw) across all competitions counts as their joint-longest run without losing on home soil since February 2018!
  • However, the history books cast doubt over this record continuing, given that opponents Bayer Leverkusen have lost just one of the previous 13 away league home-and-home games (eight wins, four draws). The visitors also head into this fixture having put their inconsistent start to the campaign long behind them thanks to a superb run of six successive victories across all competitions, the most recent of which was a terrific last-gasp 1-0 home win over Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League.
  • Manager Xabi Alonso described that result as “well deserved,” but it is on the road where his side have particularly excelled. The defending Bundesliga champions have not lost an away match in the top flight since May 2023 (seventeen wins and six draws). A further success in this game would see Leverkusen, at least temporarily, move back into second place in the table with Eintracht Frankfurt not playing until Sunday.
  • Players to watch: Augsburg defender Keven Schlotterbeck has a patchy record in H2Hs, helping his side keep only one clean sheet in ten meetings with Bayer (four wins and six losses). A 5-0 reversal last season was the joint-heaviest loss of his career. Bayer Leverkusen’s Álex Grimaldo will be hoping that run continues, and he won 11 of the 13 games in which he scored for the club (one draw, one loss).
  • Hot stat: Ahead of this round, Bayer Leverkusen have scored a Bundesliga-high 19 first-half goals this season.
