Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen, Wolfsburg will be aiming to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they host Augsburg to their Volkswagen Arena. The Wolevs regained a much-needed confidence at the weekend, and, no doubt, they are capable of beating the Bavarians in front of home fans. Defender Maxence Lacroix is banned for the match, while all Sebastiaan Bornauw, Admir Mehmedi, Luca Waldschmidt, William, Bartosz Bialek, and Xaver Schlager should miss out with injuries.
Augsburg, on the other hand, did well to crush Stuttgart 4-1 at home at the weekend, but given their anything but brilliant away record, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Wolves. All Iago, Felix Uduokhai, and Sarenren-Bazee are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team.

Born in Chene-Bougeries, Switzerland on April 19, 1995, Kevin Mbabu is a defender who plays for Young Boys. Mbabu started his youth career at Servette and he continued playing for les Grenats at senior level. However, it has to be noted that he made no more than one appearance for Servette in the league during the 2012/2013 season.
Kevin Mbabu then joined Premier League side Newcastle United and after spending two seasons on loan at Rangers and Young Boys, he signed a permanent deal with the Stade de Suisse outfit in 2017. His main position right back, but he is used as both centre and left back as well.
Mbabu is eligible to play for Switzerland, DR Congo and France due to his mixed descent, but he decided to represent the Rossocrociati at senior level. Mbabu made his Switzerland debut in September, 2018 in a 6-0 win over Iceland. His contract with Young Boys should expire in June, 2020.
Highlighted Team (Augsburg):
Augsburg are a German football club founded in Augsburg, Bavaria back in 1907. Die Fuggerstadter play in German Bundesliga and with 12,200 members they are regarded as the largest football club in Bavaria. Augsburg wear white shirts and they host their rivals at WWK ARENA.
The capacity of the stadium is 30,660 and it has been the home of Augsburg since 2009. Augsburg won the Schwaben Cup 13 times and it has to be noted that they were promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time in 2011.
The club qualified for the Europa League 2015/2016 group stages and thanks to a 3-1 win over Partizan in Belgrade they booked their place in the last 32. However, Liverpool proved to be a big catch for the German outfit in the Europa League knockout stages.
Die Fuggerstadter’s main rivals are TSV 1860 Munich and there have always been fireworks when the two teams take on each other.
