Augsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen Analysis
Augsburg Preview
The hosts this weekend will be among the biggest-priced home teams of all the Bundesliga matches in round 17. Augsburg come into the restart following the winter break sitting eleventh in the standings. They won just four of their 16 matches in 2023-24, and a positive run of results will be required to lift them clear of the relegation places.
At present, they boast an eight-point advantage over the bottom three spots, and a win on Saturday could move them into the top half. However, the Augsburg defense has been leaky throughout the campaign, as they have allowed 31 goals already this term.
An immediate response will be required by the hosts. They were below the standard required in their latest match in the Bundesliga, losing 3-0 away from home against Stuttgart. That defeat means that they have now allowed six goals in their last three matches.
Over that same period, Augsburg have scored just once, meaning that there are also questions surrounding their quality in the final third. But, the Bundesliga team stats do show that they have netted 24 goals this term, which is better than two of the ten sides located above them in the standings.
Bayer Leverkusen Preview
A sensational season in 2023-24 has shown no signs of stopping for Bayer Leverkusen to this point. Xabi Alonso’s side is the only unbeaten team in Europe’s top divisions this term, and they currently sit four points clear of Bayern Munich at the summit.
Leverkusen have scored an incredible 46 goals in the league this term, while they also boast the best defense in the Bundesliga after conceding just 12. The German side got back on track in December after being held to back-to-back draws, and they come into this match looking to register a third straight success.
Their most recent win in the Bundesliga was on December 20 against Bochum. Patrick Schick was the standout star on that afternoon at BayArena, as the striker scored a stunning hat-trick for the league leaders.
However, Jeremie Frimpong could be one of the players to consider in the props markets this weekend. The full-back is one of the top performers based on the Bundesliga player stats, having scored five goals and registered six assists in 16 Bundesliga outings in 2023-24.
Augsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen Head to Head
Augsburg actually boasts a healthy advantage in this fixture, having won each of their last two against Leverkusen. That includes a 1-0 success in this exact fixture last season. However, those two losses are the only defeats that the Leverkusen suffered in the last 24 Bundesliga matchups between these sides.
