Augsburg haven’t conceded against Bielefeld in their last four meetings.

Augsburg can open up gap to bottom three

Augsburg will see the visit of Bielefeld as a chance to open up a gap to the relegation zone when they face off against their fellow strugglers on Sunday.

The two sides appear evenly matched on paper with both having scored a league-worst three goals so far and Augsburg managing the only win between them.

That win came against a decent Borussia Monchengladbach team in the Bavarians’ most recent home game and seemed to indicate an upturn in form as it followed another clean sheet on the road at Union Berlin. But subsequent defeats to high-flying Freiburg and Borussia Dortmund have been a reality check for Markus Weinzierl and his staff.

Bielefeld haven’t found the right formula

Thankfully for them, Bielefeld look a little bit worse off because they still haven’t found the formula to win a game this season and went down 4-0 to Leverkusen last time out.

Der FCA have enjoyed the upper hand over Bielefeld of late, winning five and drawing one of their last six Bundesliga matches and outscoring them by 11-2 across that sequence. That must be factored into the selection, which is a simple win bet on Augsburg here. The visitors have a doubt over striker Patrick Wimmer while Augsburg could be boosted by the return of Ruben Vargas, which ought to tip the balance in their favour.

Don’t expect many goals in this matchup, though, unless errors are punished, because Bielefeld have only scored once in their last four and Augsburg struck only twice across the same period. So our prediction is for a 1-0 final score.
