Augsburg - Union Berlin predictions

Augsburg are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Union Berlin may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

The odds are stacked heavily against Union Berlin here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Augsburg are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 3.65.

A Hoffenheim defeat was not exactly a surprise for Augsburg. They were given unfavourable 2.98 betting odds to steal three points from their last outing and they failed to pull up a surprise. Having conceded early in the first half, they ended up registering a heavy $ HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY loss.

Union Berlin are coming off of an impossibly difficult matchup against Bayer Leverkusen in the previous round. The heavily favoured away team easily secured a 0:1 victory after a lead in the first half.

Augsburg have a strong recent history in terms of scoring as hosts. They bagged 10 goals in their previous three home games.

Union Berlin’s past two matches featured less than 2 goals. As such, going for markets such as Over 2.5 or Both Teams to Score is not recommended.

The home team had several opportunities to beat Union Berlin this season, yet never managed to get anything other than a draw. They’re still considered the favourites, though, and the home-field advantage might be just what they need to break the stalemate.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Fredrik Jensen, Iago, Robert Gumny, Niklas Dorsch, Reece Oxford, Raphael Framberger, Elvis Rexhbecaj, Kevin Mbabu for the hosts, and Jérôme Roussillon, Jakob Busk, Janik Haberer for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the 888Sport priced at 1.95 odds.
