FC Augsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting tips
Bayer Leverkusen plays a match against FC Augsburg on Saturday afternoon, an opponent who manages to inflict a regular loss of points on Leverkusen.
FC Augsburg:
FC Augsburg also has to work hard for every point this season. The club from Western Bavaria has collected five points after five games. Last week Augsburg was the lesser team in the away match against SC Freiburg. Still, Die Fuggerstädter had one point left to the Freiburg match. It was, remarkably enough, former Freiburg player Florian Niederlechner who managed to score on behalf of Augsburg (1-1).
“Bayer Leverkusen is a strong opponent with a top attack,” said coach Martin Schmidt during the weekly press conference. “But I believe in our mentality that we have the will to stay afloat in this competition,” said Schmidt, who still has to deal with multiple absences. However, there will not be a bad team at the kick-off. Especially the two players in the front are of excellent quality. Next to Niederlechner is Alfred Finnbogason.
Bayer Leverkusen:
Bayer Leverkusen performed well in the first rounds. Peter Bosz’s team also won the competitions that had to be won. An example of this was last weekend’s match. Leverkusen was far too strong for PhD student FC Union Berlin in its own BayArena. The difference in strength was expressed in a 2-0 win, meaning that Die Werkself came in ten points out of five duels. The downer so far was the 4-0 defeat at Borussia Dortmund, which suggests that Leverkusen will not compete for the league title this year.
Leverkusen is still in the middle of a busy period. For example, the heavy European competition at Juventus is scheduled for Tuesday. After the surprising defeat against Lokomotiv Moscow (1-2), Bayer has to get a good result in Turin. Bosz is not bothered by a long list of injured people, so here and there the Dutch coach could rotate. Only Leon Bailey cannot be used on Saturday.
