Augsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction: Expect a productive match with an exchange of goals

The nineteenth round of the German championship will begin with a match between Augsburg and Bayer. Despite the factor of the field, bookmakers believe that Bayer has a higher chance of winning.

After a long break, Augsburg played three matches in the Bundesliga: a home win over Gladbach, defeats to Dortmund 3:4 and Freiburg 1:3. Both defeats for the team happened in away games. Before the start of the 19th round, the Bavarians were in the 14th position. Augsburg has 18 points, two more than Bochum, located in the risky zone. And Augsburg's home statistics are 17th in the division; only Schalke is worse. The Bavarians have achieved only two wins, five losses, and two draws in nine games. In the last round, Augsburg should not have lost to Freiburg, despite the score of 1:3.

Roughly the same can be said about Bayer. In the sense that the team should not have lost to Dortmund in the last round, but they lost to the Bumblebees with a score of 0:2. On xG, Bayer also beat their opponents (1.84:0.98), but they failed to score even one point in the home game. The loss to Dortmund cost them eighth place in the German championship table. Now Gladbach is in that position. Bayer has 24 points, eight points less than Eintracht, in the Eurocup competitions. Bayer's away statistics are 11th in the division, +3=1-4, 11:17 goal difference.

We noted that Augsburg should not have lost in the last matchday and had chances for two goals, not one. The same is true for Bayer. We think that the game will be productive on Friday with an exchange of goals. In the season 2022/23, Augsburg has weak home statistics, but that does not mean that every match at home will now be a failure for the Bavarians in terms of performance, although we do not expect the hosts to score in the upcoming game. We`ll give the main bet on the total. We are unsure about the result, although we are on the visitors' side. But as for the total, we believe that the starting match of the 19th round will be a high-scoring one.
