VfL Wolfsburg vs FC Augsburg Prediction

Difficult to see the winner, always in motion is the future. But one thing clear to this old tipster it is: defend, Wolfsburg cannot, and score, someone shall.

Fifteenth in the Bundesliga table, trapped in the relegation battle Wolfsburg finds themselves. Five wins from twenty-two games, twenty points only. Recent form troubling: two victories in ten attempts, conceding twenty-four goals in that time (2.40 per game), zero clean sheets kept. Against Bayern München, eight goals they conceded—painful, that was. Yet fight them I see: drew 2-2 with RB Leipzig recently, and against Borussia Dortmund (1-2), close they came. At home, 1.75 goals per game they score, but 2.00 they concede. The defense, a shambles it is.

Augsburg arrives in eleventh, safer but not secure. Seven wins, twenty-five points. Impressive recent results they have: beat Bayern München 2-1 away (shocking that was!), defeated Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 at home. But away form, concerning it remains: 0.50 goals per game in last four away, lost three of four. Hammered 4-0 by Borussia Mönchengladbach, beaten 2-0 by FSV Mainz 05. Yet score against anyone they can, proven it is.

The head-to-head, heavily favors the visitors. Five wins in nine meetings for Augsburg, only one for Wolfsburg. At home, never beaten Augsburg have Wolfsburg (0-2-1 record). Last October, 1-3 the defeat was.

Key Points:

• Wolfsburg has kept zero clean sheets in last ten games, conceding 2.40 goals per game on average

• Augsburg has beaten both Bayern München and Bayer Leverkusen in recent weeks, showing potency against top sides

• Historical meetings favor Augsburg heavily (5 wins to 1) with six of nine games going Over 2.5 goals

• Goal expectancies suggest 3.13 total goals (Home 1.88, Away 1.25)

• Wolfsburg's games have averaged 3.9 total goals per game over the last ten matches

• Augsburg's away defense has been poor (2.00 conceded per game) despite their improving overall trend

The force of goals strong in this fixture it is. Wolfsburg must attack to escape the drop zone, but defend they cannot. Augsburg, dangerous on the break against open teams, proven they are. Over 2.5 goals at 1.73, the wise choice this is. Much scoring there will be, young bettor. Much scoring indeed.
