Augsburg vs Union Berlin prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-04-11 18:30.
[p]Despite finding themselves in the midst of a two-game winless Bundesliga run after losing 3-1 at Hoffenheim last weekend (D1, L1), Augsburg are still the fifth-best performing team in the second half of the season (W5, D3, L5). Sitting seventh and six points adrift of sixth, they’re unlikely to move any further up the table, but never rule them out, as having won a league-high 20 points from losing positions this season, they do have a never say die attitude.[/p]
[p]Unbeaten in four at home (W2, D2), the hosts have a good overall record on home soil (W5, D6, L3), losing only against league leaders Leverkusen and reigning champions Bayern at the WWK Arena in 2024. A 1-1 draw against relegation-threatened Cologne in their last home game shows they can be susceptible, but given they’ve lost just one home league game this season against a current bottom-half side, they’ll hope it was only a blip.[/p]
[p]Like their hosts, Union Berlin are also winless in two (D1, L1), losing 1-0 against Leverkusen last weekend which means they’ve failed to score in four of their last five league matches. It’s now a league-high 15 games over the season without scoring for Union, but their goalshy nature hasn’t been too damaging, as with eight wins in the 13 games they scored (W8, D3, L2), alongside two goalless draws, they boast a six-point buffer to the relegation zone.[/p]
[p]Some impressive away league form in 2024 has helped them steer clear of the dreaded drop zone (W1, D3, L3), although Union scored just two goals across those seven games! H2H history would hint that adding to that away tally is going to be tough as Union are winless in seven meetings (D3, L4), losing their last three at this venue.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Since joining Augsburg in summer, Phillip Tietz has been involved in 11 Bundesliga goals (G7, A4), assisting his side’s last goal in what was his only defeat when he scored or assisted (W5, D3, L1). Union’s last goal was scored by Brenden Aaronson, who was also the matchwinner in their last away victory.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Only three of Union’s last 15 Bundesliga games saw both teams score. [/p]
