Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Augsburg and Bayer Leverkusen face each other at WWK Arena in what is expected to be an interesting Bundesliga encounter. Augsburg aim to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Freiburg, but they face yet another difficult task against Xabi Alonso’s troops. Since important forward Ermedin Demirovic is banned for the match, we are not tempted to put our money on the relegation-threatened hosts. All Ivan Cardona, Ruben Vargas, Reece Oxford, Iago, Andre Hahn, and Tobias Strobl remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Meanwhile, Bayer aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund. The visitors failed to extend their winning run to six games, but they are surely capable of matching Augsburg at WWK Arena. Since Leverkusen will go for a win in Friday’s clash as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. All Andrey Lunev, Charles Aranguiz, and Callum Hudson-Odoi are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the away side.
