Prediction: 0-2
Bayer Leverkusen
Following a 2-2 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt, Augsburg will be aiming to claim a major scalp in the Bundesliga round 14 when they take on Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday afternoon. The Bavarians are on a four-game winning run at home in the national championship, but they will have a big fish to fry against the reigning champions. All Finn Dahmen, Mads Pedersen, Dimitrios Giannoulis, Fredrik Jensen, and Reece Oxford are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Xabi Alonso’s men, on the other hand, are brimming with confidence following a hard-fought Champions League win over Inter. Considering that the title holders have found their best form of late, away win should be considered. The likes of Jonas Hofmann, Victor Boniface, and Amine Adli are out of contention with injuries, but Xabi Alonso can count on key players for WWK Arena clash.

Alex Grimaldo is a Spanish footballer who plays for Portuguese side Benfica as a left back. Born in Valencia on September 20, 1995, Grimaldo started his youth career at his hometown club FC Valencia, but in 2008 Barcelona scouts brought him to Camp Nou.

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.
