Union Berlin

Augsburg

Over 2.5 Match Goals

Reason for tip

Over 2.5 goals is the standout bet when Union Berlin host Augsburg. Both sides are scoring regularly and neither can defend with confidence. Union have seen a run of high-scoring matches, while Augsburg’s away games frequently clear the line. With attacking momentum on both sides, this should open up.

Augsburg 2-1

Reason for tip

A 2-1 away win for Augsburg appeals in the correct-score market. The visitors are in strong away form and scoring freely, while Union concede far too often to shut them out. Given the defensive issues on both sides and the consistent goals trend, a narrow Augsburg win in a three-goal game fits best.

Goals on the cards in Berlin

Back over 2.5 goals in Saturday’s clash between Union Berlin and Augsburg at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei. Union Berlin have scored in eight of their last nine Bundesliga games, and recent weeks have seen plenty of goals in both teams’ games.

Augsburg are ninth in the league, three places above Union Berlin, but both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season. The hosts have won nine and lost 15 of their 33 games, while Augsburg have won 12 and lost 14.

Union Berlin are struggling to get wins, having failed to win six of their last seven Bundesliga games, while Augsburg are in form and aiming for a third straight success. They have won their last two road games and have not been beaten away since March.

Union Berlin’s 3-1 win over Mainz last weekend kept up their recent pattern of games with over 2.5 goals. They had lost four of their previous six Bundesliga games before this victory, which was their first under Marie-Louise Eta. Andrej Ilic scored first in the 38th minute, with Oliver Burke and Josip Juranovic also finding the net, and they defied odds of 17/5 to secure a commanding win.

Both teams have been in form going forward. Union Berlin have scored in six successive Bundesliga games, while Augsburg have found the net at least twice in five of their last seven league matches.

Over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in 11 of Augsburg’s 16 Bundesliga away games this term, and in four of their last six on the road. The league is averaging 3.2 goals a game this season.

Both teams have been struggling defensively. Only three teams have conceded more goals this season than Union Berlin’s 58, and they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 17 of their last 20 Bundesliga games. Augsburg have also been leaking goals, going 20 games without keeping a clean sheet on their travels.

Augsburg are on a winning run of two straight Bundesliga away games, and a 2-1 win for the visitors looks like a decent correct-score option.
