Augsburg - Bayer Leverkusen betting tips and odds

The hosts will have little to hope for in this match. The betting odds work against them and so does the overall impression. They are a weaker side here and it would be a proper upset if they manage to beat Bayer Leverkusen.

With a price of 1.83 on them winning, Team from Leverkusen should definitely feel more confident going into this match. Of course, the difference is not insurmountable, so we’d say a draw is quite likely as well.

Augsburg’s previous Bundesliga match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Freiburg . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 6.00. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 3:1 result before the end.

The latest outing we saw from Bayer Leverkusen ended in disaster despite the home-field advantage. Most predictions saw them as more-or-less equal to their opponents Borussia Dortmund, but they were unable to recover from some early concessions, losing the game 0:2.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Augsburg have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

This is the second time we’re seeing these two teams play against one another in this season of the Bundesliga – this time, Augsburg are playing as the hosts, having won their away game. However, the betting odds mark Leverkusen as the favourites despite the recent loss and the fact they’re playing as visitors.

Though the visitors are favourites here, it’s important to note they’ll be playing without Andrey Lunev, Charles Aránguiz, Patrik Schick due to injury. On the flip side, the hosts will also be several players short – namely, Iago, Reece Oxford, Tobias Strobl, Ruben Vargas, André Hahn, Irvin Cardona have also reported injuries.

For better or worse, the Under 3.5 Goals is possible the best course of action for this match. It’s not exactly an exciting offer and the returns can’t be called amazing, but the value is strong enough to warrant a quick punt.
