Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Augsburg will be aiming to make amends for a 3-1 loss to Hoffenheim when they face Union Berlin on Matchday 29. The Bavarians are eyeing a spot in European competitions and their fine home record is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Union Berlin. Kristijan Jakic has joined the likes of Jensen, Mbabu, Iago, Rexhbecaj, Gumny, Dorsch, Oxford, and Framberger in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The capital club, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen. Union Berlin are six points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that they should be happy with one point from the match. As for the visitors, both Lucas Tousart and Robin Gosens are banned for the match, while the likes of Yorbe Vertessen, Kevin Volland, Jerome Roussillon, Jakob Busk, and Janik Haberer remain on the sidelines through injuries.
