Bochum vs Augsburg Predictions

• Bochum are without a goal across their last two matches.
• Augsburg are still in immediate relegation danger and desperately need points.
• Augsburg have never lost three straight Bundesliga games without scoring.
• Only five Bundesliga sides have a better unbeaten rate in games as outsiders than Augsburg’s 52%

A bottom-half showdown in Bochum

With an eight-point gap above the relegation places ahead of this round and just four more games to play, it would be catastrophic if Bochum were somehow caught at this stage. So with their safety all-but secured, Bochum are likely playing for pride and places.

On the other hand, Augsburg are just four points above the drop zone and could be caught within two of the final four rounds if they cannot get a positive result in this game. The visitors are without a goal in two games, but could be expected to bounce back and avoid a first ever run of three top-flight defeats to nil.

Back the visitors to avoid defeat

Augsburg are no strangers to being outsiders this season, but they do hold the division’s sixth-best W/D% rate when entered as such (52% – W7, D6, L12). As such, we predict that the value lies in the double chance market with an Augsburg win/draw.

Given the low quality across both sides, we are sitting on the fence with a 1-1 selection in the correct score market. Such a result would still be a boost to Augsburg’s survival push while it could also suit Bochum.
