FC Augsburg vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen Prediction: Can Leverkusen make it three wins in three Bundesliga games?

The Bundesliga match between Bayer Leverkusen and Augsburg will occur on Saturday at the WWK Arena. Bayer Leverkusen will come into the match to claim their seventh consecutive victory. The previous weekend, Augsburg played Eintracht Frankfurt away from their home stadium and held them to a scoreless draw. They exhibited a fantastic performance at Deutsche Bank Park, which allowed them to extend their excellent run over the past few weeks. Throughout the last eight matches across all competitions, Augsburg have only suffered one defeat. As a direct result of this, they relocated away from the area that was designated for relegation.

On the other hand, Augsburg will have to contend with a very difficult obstacle in order to keep up their current level of success this weekend. Despite the fact that Leverkusen did not perform particularly well over the last weekend, they were able to secure a 2-1 victory over St. Pauli at BayArena. Xabi Alonso is concerned about the fact that the Werkself were only able to register two shots on goal during the entire 90 minutes of play in the match that took place at home against the team that had just been promoted.

FC Augsburg

Out of the thirteen league matches that Augsburg has played so far this season, they have won four, drawn four, and lost five. As a result, they will be in thirteenth place heading into the weekend. While they may be in the bottom part of the standings, Augsburg are closer to the European spots than they are to the drop zone, with five points separating them from the top six, compared with the six-point difference between themselves and the bottom three.

Despite the fact that they have only lost one of their previous eight matches across all competitions, Augsburg have demonstrated that they are a formidable team to defeat in recent years. This one and only victory came in a match played away from home against Bayern Munich, who are now in first position in the Bundesliga. However, Augsburg swiftly recovered and won their match against Bochum by a score of 1-0. They then went on to win their match against Karlsruhe on penalties, thereby securing their place in the quarterfinals of the DFB-Pokal.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen

Since they were held to a 1-1 draw in their away match against Bochum, Leverkusen have gone on a run of six straight triumphs. This streak began after they were defeated by Bochum. In the league and the Champions League, respectively, they won at home against Heidenheim and Red Bull Salzburg, which marked the beginning of their winning streak. Following their triumph over ten-man Bayern Munich in the Pokal, the team coached by Xabi Alonso went on to win the Bundesliga against Union Berlin and St. Pauli. Additionally, they won the Pokal by a close margin against Bayern Munich.

Due to the fact that they are seven points behind Bayern, the team that is currently in third place has a lot of work to do if they want to win back-to-back league crowns on consecutive occasions. Leverkusen will be confident in their ability to defeat Augsburg because they have won four of their previous six head-to-head matches away from home. This includes a close victory by a score of 1-0 on their most recent journey to visit Augsburg at the WWK Arena in January.
