Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Bayer Leverkusen will look to put icing on the cake on a very successful season when they face Augsburg at their BayArena. Xabi Alonso’s men want to finish the 2023/2024 campaign undefeated and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Bavarians in Saturday’s clash. As Xabi Alonso is likely to field the best possible side against Augsburg, home win should definitely be considered. Key midfielder Florian Wirtz faces race against the clock to be fit for the match, while defender Odilon Kossounou remains in the recovery room.
The visitors, on the other hand, are on a four-game losing run in the national championship. As Augsburg have nothing to play for in the BayArena showdown, we predict that the newly-promoted champions are going to give fans yet another reason to celebrate. As for the visitors, Ruben Vargas has joined the likes of Finn Dahmen, Fredrik Jensen, Elvis Rexhbecaj, Robert Gumny, and Raphael Framberger in the recovery room, while Kevin Mbabu misses out through suspension.
