Our predictions for FC Augsburg vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Match Prediction: FC Augsburg 1-3 Bayer 04 Leverkusen
FC Augsburg's recent form suggests a team struggling to find consistency, with only one win in their last five matches. Their home form has been particularly poor, losing their last three home games by a combined score of 7-1. However, the predicted 3-4-2-1 formation could offer some defensive solidity, potentially allowing them to frustrate Bayer Leverkusen's attack. Augsburg's key players like Massengo and Kömür will need to step up to exploit any weaknesses in Leverkusen's backline.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen, despite a recent loss to Borussia Dortmund, have shown strong form with three wins in their last five matches. Their attacking prowess was evident in the 6-0 victory over Heidenheim, indicating they can be ruthless when in top gear. The predicted 3-4-2-1 formation should allow them to control the midfield and create numerous scoring opportunities. Leverkusen's key players, García and Schick, will be crucial in breaking down Augsburg's defence and securing a victory.
