Union Berlin vs Augsburg Prediction & Betting tips
Against all expert assessments, Union Berlin managed to stay in the league. Even more: The Eiserne landed eleven points ahead of the direct relegation zone on a respectable eleventh place in the final table.
After Darmstadt and most recently Düsseldorf, they are another newcomer with a mini budget, who started as relegation candidate number one, but remained first class in the end. Both teams, however, were relegated in the darned second year that the Iron are now determined to survive.
A three-point against the FCA would be a first step in the right direction at the beginning. In the run-up to the game between Union Berlin and Augsburg, the odds of the bookmakers definitely turn in the direction of the capitals. However, Union Berlin against Augsburg must also take into account in the forecast that the Fuggerstädter were able to convince in the cup with a 7-0 victory.
Union Berlin:
1. FC Union Berlin was not only able to defy all the critics in the remarkable pre-season and, as eleventh in the final table, had absolutely nothing to do with the relegation, but the iron could land several coups on the transfer market in the summer.
The capitals had to let Sebastian Andersson move to 1. FC Köln and swapped goalkeepers with today’s guest from Augsburg. With Robin Knoche, Cedric Teuchert, Nico Schlotterbeck and Max Kruse, however, several seasoned first division professionals could be engaged who should help the iron right away.
In the third year in office, coach Urs Fischer can look forward to a team that has once again gained strength and competitiveness, although a lot will depend on how quickly Max Kruse brings the hoped-for goals onto the pitch.
With Sebastian Andersson finally went the best goalscorer of the previous season, who marked twelve of the 41 league goals of the capital city. Should Max Kruse not be able to close this gap, it should be difficult for the Berliners, who already made a very shaky appearance in the DFB Cup.
Against Karlsruher SC, who barely managed to hold their own in the 2nd Bundesliga and only left the relegation spot on the last day of the game, the Eiserne did not get beyond a goalless draw before newcomer Nico Schlotterbeck scored the winning goal in the 117th minute of the game scored.
Nevertheless, the capital city residents were not convincing, as they still have 30 minutes left in their bones to make matters worse.
Augsburg:
For ten years now, FC Augsburg has been an integral part of the bel étage of German football. Last season, however, staying in the Bundesliga was threatened time and time again. On the ninth game day, the Bavarian Swabians were on a direct relegation zone.
In March 2020, Martin Schmidt was also fired as a result of a long series of defeats following the 2-0 defeat at Bayern. Heiko Herrlich took over a club that was in 14th place – and ultimately only led the Fuggerstadt team to 15th place in the final table with a score of nine points from nine games.
Nevertheless, the sports management stuck to him and started the 2020/21 season with the Mannheim native, in which the specter of relegation should again be kept away from one of the three Bavarian metropolises.
In order for this to succeed, a lot of investments were made in the transfer market, which was necessary because of the departure of Philipp Max to the Dutch Eredivisie and the retirement of Daniel Baier and Stephan Lichtsteiner. With Felix Uduokhai, Tobias Strobl, Daniel Caligiuri, Michael Gregoritsch, Mads Pedersen and Robert Gumny some interesting actors came to the Fugger city.
Heiko Herrlich’s team proved for the first time on Saturday that the FCA not only has a powerful squad on paper, when they achieved a 7-0 victory at Eintracht Celle, and nothing burned at all.
Nevertheless, in the run-up to the game between Union Berlin and Augsburg, the odds of the bookmakers against the Bavarian Swabians speak. Possibly also because in the 2019/20 season only four of the 17 league games could be won on foreign courts.
