Bayer Leverkusen vs Augsburg Predictions

• Bayer Leverkusen’s Bundesliga games averaged 3.9 total goals per match.
• Beyer Leverkusen are unbeaten in six straight home games.
• Augsburg failed to win 15 of their last 16 away league games.

Entertainment is assured when Leverkusen play

This season has been a rollercoaster ride for fans of Bayer Leverkusen, they retained their place in the top-three after their most recent victory, though it is only by a hare’s breadth.

As such, they will need to go hammer and tong for the win against a poor-travelling Augsburg side. Fortunately, the hosts can rely on their imperious home form which saw them score at least twice in five of their last six matches here.

Slow start for Augsburg

Compounding matters for Augsburg is the fact that their manager, Markus Weinzierl, won just one of his 13 prior personal clashes with Leverkusen (W1, D3, L9), with five of those nine defeats also producing over 2.5 goals.

Often starting slowly in games, Augsburg conceded eight times in the opening 15 minutes of their league games than any other Bundesliga side this term, more than any other side.

All in all, I predict an entertaining 2-1 home win. I am backing Leverkusen to win but with the added caveat of over 2.5 match goals to add that all-important value, which could be a safe bet given their average total of 4.1 goals per home league game this term.
