Bayer Leverkusen v Augsburg prediction

Top against bottom in the Bundesliga! The match is scheduled for the 16.02.2013 at 1530 CET. Leverkusen is 3rd going into this tie. Augsburg is 17th. 23 points separate the teams after 21 matches. Leverkusen is playing for Champions League football, while the visitors are struggling against relegation. Leverkusen has had a Europa League game on Thursday, so the main question is: Are they ready for Augsburg?

Stats and Facts

Bayer Leverkusen is 7-2-1 with a 21-9 goal difference in the Bundesliga this season. Augsburg is is 1-4-5 away from home. Their goal difference is 9-17. In terms of form Leverkusen has struggled a bit in their last three games. They lost 2-3 at home to Dortmund and played two away draws to Gladbach and Freiburg. Augsburg has gone five games without defeat now. Four of those five were draws. Nevertheless that is a solid improvement, and now they have a fighting chance to stay up in the Bundesliga. They’ll be spurred on by that.

Last season Leverkusen won comfortably 4-1. The reverse fixture this season also ended in a Leverkusen win. 3-1 was the result. Kießling scored early for Leverkusen! Augsburg did run much of the game, but were not able to capitalize on that. Leverkusen performed well, and the now it’s history.

Team News

For Leverkusen: Bellarabi is still out (Hasn’t played since late October). Other than that coaches Lewandowski and Hyypia can pick from their best players. Augsburg is missing Jentzsch (keeper). He hasn’t played first team football since November. Philip (Defender), came off against Mainz. He will not take part here. Verhaegh (Defender) is out still. He hasn’t played since late October. Petrzela (Midfielder) hasn’t played since mid-December. He will not take part here either.

Betting Prediction

In previous meetings Leverkusen has done really well. Here however they are coming of a less than optimal run of form, and a tough clash against Benfica late on Thursday. Leverkusen is still favorites obviously, but the odds currently available in the market are just not worth it. 11/20 (1.55) is at least a notch too low. Augsburg will try to remain compact and limit the opportunities for the dangerous Leverkusen hitmen. Given this setting: If Augsburg can continue their progress I see no reason why they can't get a result here.

I take Augsburg +0.5! This means we win if the game ends X or 2. I take it in form of the double chance bet at Betsson. The price is 2.60 (8/5). Betsson also offers a very good betting bonus. If you 1. Deposit money 2. Follow this betting tips and 3 Get unlucky and lose; then Betsson will refund your stake up to £100.
