Augsburg - Köln betting tips and odds

The visiting team is cognizant of the task before them. A victory over Augsburg on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy feat.

A difficult match is ahead of Köln. They have a big fish to fry but we’ve seen them do it in the past and it’s certain they can do it again.

Augsburg are coming on the back of a 2:2 draw in their latest away game at Wolfsburg . Though such a result can’t be called a triumph, it’s about as close to it as you can get. Wolfsburg were considered a safe bet at odds of 1.60 – but Augsburg took an early lead, and the favourites barely managed to equalize before the end.

The visiting team are here on the back of a somewhat disappointing draw. They had the home-field advantage for that bout, and their supporters were hoping that would be enough for them to overcome Borussia M'gladbach. Unfortunately for them, the whole game was a protracted stalemate, ending with 0:0 on the scoreboard.

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.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Bundesliga engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

Köln have recorded a victory against Augsburg previously in this Bundesliga season, though it wasn’t a particularly convincing one. Still, they’re the favourites despite going into an away game, and their supporters are hoping for another 3 points.

Both teams will have to play with an above-average number of injures. Tobias Strobl, Niklas Dorsch, André Hahn, Kelvin Yeboah are unavailable for the hosts. Conversely, Sebastian Andersson, Mark Uth, Florian Dietz, Rijad Smajic will not be able to play on the visiting side. The odds still favour Koln, though.

If you’re looking for a relatively safe bet, this match can offer one with a Double Chance on Home or Draw. Priced at 1.60, it is extremely likely to be successful – even though the returns may be limited.
