Fuggerstädter have the form and home advantage
Standings and recent meeting
Augsburg are 6th in Bundesliga 2026/2027 on 3 points from 1 game, just above Leverkusen in 5th on 3 points from 2 games. FC Augsburg reversed the roles in the away fixture between these two sides four months ago, winning 2-1 in Leverkusen in Bundesliga 2025/2026, so Leverkusen know that this trip can bite back.
Augsburg setup and key player
Manuel Baum has Augsburg set up in a compact 3-4-2-1/3-4-1-2 system which is based around narrow defending and sharp vertical breaks. Anton Kade has been Augsburg's spark in Bundesliga 2026/2027, scoring 1 and assisting 1 from 1 appearance, but he will need to perform as good as Schick to break down Leverkusen's defense here.
Leverkusen setup and key player
Carles Martinez has set Leverkusen up to play a possession-heavy, high-tempo style of soccer with wing-backs and quick half-space combinations. Miguel Gutierrez has been their playmaker in Bundesliga 2026/2027, assisting 2 in 2 appearances, but Patrik Schick is the danger man, scoring 2 goals in 2 games.
Leverkusen can lock this down
Leverkusen's away form in 2026/2027 is a work in progress, with Die Werkself winning 2 and losing 2 of their 4 away trips. Augsburg, on the other hand, have won their only home game in Bundesliga 2026/2027 and have scored 3.00 goals per home game while conceding 0.00 this season.
After bouncing back from a 3-2 Bundesliga 2026/2027 away loss to Elversberg, Leverkusen thumped Union Berlin 4-0 at home earlier today, so they should be right for this clash at the WWK Arena, Germany. Leverkusen have edged odds at 1.7, while Augsburg are 4.1 and the draw is 4.2, all of which seem off to us as the Fuggerstädter have won the last 2 head-to-heads and are strong at home in 2026/2027.
BTTS Yes and over 2.5 goals is the choice
BTTS Yes at 1.44 and Over 2.5 at 1.42 are very tight lines indeed, but we're going to stick with BTTS and over 2.5 in this game as an Under 2.5 game sits at 2.8 and Augsburg should be the underdog on the moneyline.
- Leverkusen will have more of the ball in this clash, but Augsburg's transition game and home steel should be able to keep it tight.
- In the 5 H2H's in Augsburg, the hosts have averaged 1.0 goal while Leverkusen have averaged 1.0 away, so the game could get very close and will likely be frantic in patches.
