Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
WWK Arena will host Saturday’s Bundesliga game between Augsburg and Bayer Leverkusen, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Bayer Leverkusen aim to build on a thrilling 4-0 win over Borussia M’gladbach, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the away team will be Czech Republic international Patrik Schick, who impressed at EURO 2020 finals.
All Karim Bellarabi, Lucas Alario, Edmond Tapsoba, and Timothy Fosu-Mensah are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team. The Bavarians, on the other hand, have yet to find the net in the new Bundesliga campaign, and given Bayer’s display in the crushing of die Fohlen, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. It has to be noted that Augsburg’s injury list is pretty long.
