Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
WWK Arena will host Sunday’s Bundesliga game between Augsburg and Wolfsburg, the two teams who sit in the danger zone. Augsburg aim to make amends for a 3-2 loss to Stuttgart, and a win over Wolfsburg should see them move away from bottom three. The likes of Sarenren-Bazee, Alfred Finnbogason, and Tobias Strobl are all out of contention with injuries, while Lasse Gunther has been tested positive for coronavirus.
The Wolves, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Freiburg and Bayer Leverkusen. Since Wolfsburg will go for a win as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. The likes of Luca Waldschmidt, Koen Casteels, Micky van de Ven, Paulo Otavio, and William should miss out with injuries, speaking of the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Alfred Finnbogason):
Born in Grindavik in 1989, Alfred Finnbogason is one of the most prolific strikers in the history of Icelandic football, as the well-travelled forward has been scoring goals for fun throughout his career. His talent was first spotted at Breidablik, where two very successful campaign helped him move to Lokeren, where he did not spent a lot of time and soon signed for Helsingborgs.
The return of 12 goals in 17 league outings for the Swedish giants soon secured him a move to Heerenveen, where he would go on to play the best football of his career, scoring remarkable 53 goals in 65 Eredivisie matches. Finnbogason somewhat struggled during spells with Real Sociedad and Olympiakos, but managed to kick-start his career at Augsburg, just in time to help Iceland on their first ever European championship appearance.
The prolific striker has been a member of the country’s national team since 2010, making over 30 appearances and scoring quite a few goals despite the fact that he was not always considered a first team regular.
Highlighted Team (Wolfsburg):
Wolfsburg are a German football club founded in the aftermath of the World War II (1945). Die Wolfe (The Wolves) wear green and white shirts and they play their home games at Volkswagen Arena. The capacity of the stadium is 30,000 and it was opened on 13 December, 2002.
It is well known that German car manufacturer Volkswagen are the club’s main sponsors. Wolfsburg won the Bundesliga trophy in 2009 and the likes of Edin Dzeko, Grafite and Zvjezdan Misimovic were part of the club’s golden generation.
You should bear in mind that Grafite and Dzeko scored 54 goals between each other in the 2008/2009 Bundesliga campaign and that the team clinched the trophy thanks to a 5-1 win over Werder Bremen on 23 May, 2009. Die Wolfe won the German Cup trophy in 2015, with the team beating star-studded Borussia Dortmund 3-1 in the title game. Wolfsburg are a team that has no bitter rivals in German football.
