Blau Weiss Lohne vs Augsburg Predictions

• Lohne have just been promoted from the fifth tier of German football.
• Every one of Lohne’s pre-season games produced four or more goals.
• Each of Augsburg’s last five games in this competition produced at least three goals.

A classic David vs Goliath encounter

Having just been promoted from Germany’s fifth tier, Lohne have tested themselves against some big clubs in pre-season to prepare themselves. However with 16 goals conceded in three games against PSV, Groningen and Schalke, it wouldn’t be too shocking if top-flight Augsburg came and spoiled their DFB Pokal party early on.

Friendly encounters would never usually get a mention in a betting preview as the value is often non existent, though considering the quality of opponents that Lohne are used to playing on a weekly basis are worlds apart from the Bundesliga, some stock can be given to those games against top sides.

Considering the gulf in class between the sides, there is simply no value to be had in backing on the win markets, so we must look elsewhere to get some bang for our buck.

A high-scoring cup clash

While Augsburg aren’t expected to pull up trees in the top-flight this term, they should quite easily have enough in the tank to traverse this fixture against fourth-tier Lohne.

Each of Augsburg’s last five cup games produced at least three goals, but we predict that there will be even more in this and as such, we’re backing over 2.5 total goals at a respectable 4/5.

As for the correct score, stick with the visitors to win by a handsome margin, perhaps a 4-0 demolition job.
