Paderborn vs Augsburg Predictions

The Benteler-Arena is set to host a meeting between 2 of the Bundesliga’s bottom 3 sides this weekend. Bottom-placed Paderborn are set to host third from bottom Augsburg in this six-pointer. Both teams will be hoping to take all 3 points from this game to move up the Bundesliga table. 

Neither of these two teams will have particularly enjoyed their first 10 games of the Bundesliga season. These two teams have won the joint fewest amount of Bundesliga games thus far. Both teams have managed to secure just one win each this season. 

Augsburg have failed to win each of their last 6 Bundesliga games. However, they have taken a total of 3 points from their last 6 games, managing to draw 3 of them. 

Augsburg have drawn a total of 4 Bundesliga games this season. On top of their 1 win, this leaves them with 5 losses from their opening 10 games. While Augsburg are currently third from bottom in the Bundesliga, only 2 teams in the bottom half of the table have lost fewer games than them this season. 

Paderborn have lost 7 of their last 8 competitive games. We feel that struggling Paderborn will have a hard time beating an Augsburg side who have not been so easy to beat this season. 

We are backing Augsburg double-chance in this fixture. 

Saturday’s hosts Paderborn currently have the worst home defensive record in the Bundesliga. They have conceded 13 goals in 5 home games. Meanwhile, visitors Augsburg currently have the Bundesliga’s second-worst away defensive record. They have seen 14 goals go into their net away from home this season. 

Both of these teams have kept just 1 clean sheet in 10 Bundesliga games. We feel that this game is likely to see a high amount of goals scored. 

There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 20 of Augsburg’s last 25 Bundesliga games. There have also been over 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Paderborn’s last 7 Bundesliga games. As well as that, Paderborn have conceded at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 7 Bundesliga games. 

Augsburg have failed to win their last 7 Bundesliga away games. As a result, we feel that a high-scoring draw is a likely outcome of this fixture. We are backing a 2-2 draw in this match.
