Bayer Leverkusen vs Augsburg Prediction
Die Werkself have won just one of their last four games across all competitions. Notably, they have scored one goal apiece in three games during that period while keeping two clean sheets. They have suffered just one loss at home against the visitors and will look to build on that form.
Jeanuël Belocian, Martin Terrier, and Mario Hermoso remain sidelined with injuries. Xabi Alonso will also be without the services of Nordi Mukiele, who picked up a calf injury in training and is likely to be sidelined for three weeks.
Fuggerstädter have been in good touch recently and have lost just one of their last 10 games in all competitions. They have an unbeaten away record in the Bundesliga this year and will look to extend that run here. Nonetheless, they have lost five of their last six away meetings against Leverkusen.
Yusuf Kabadayi remains sidelined, while Reece Oxford is not an option yet. Mërgim Berisha dropped out of training after a minor injury, and his involvement is doubtful here. Noahkai Banks will miss this match with a thigh issue.
The defending champions have a good home record in this fixture and should be able to eke out a narrow win.
