- Augsburg are unbeaten in 2 games (2-2 vs Hertha and 2-2 vs Bayern), and have only lost 1 of their last 5, but their points-per-game ratio is being dragged down by too many draws.
- In the Bundesliga 2026/2027, Elversberg have played 2 home games, winning 1 and losing 1, while scoring an average of 2.00 goals per game.
Goals are there for both sides
Both of these sides have scored multiple goals in games this season, and it seems reasonable to expect the same thing to happen here. However, both of these teams have goalscorers and there is plenty of sense in taking BTTS - No at 189/100 here.
Maurice Krattenmacher is the main man for Elversberg, he has scored 3 goals in 4 Bundesliga 2026/2027 games, and has scored 3 of Elversberg's last 5 in the league. He's been the main driving force behind Elversberg's counter-attacking style and has always been a direct threat on the break. Michael Gregoritsch has 3 goals in 4 for Augsburg, so he will be the most likely man to score on Saturday for the visitors.
Both sides have a similar points tally
SV Elversberg and FC Augsburg have had very different starts to the Bundesliga 2026/2027 campaign, but sit quite close to one another in the table. Elversberg are 8th with 7 points from their 5 games played, and Augsburg are 5th with 8, just one point ahead of their hosts on Saturday. Elversberg's form since the opening day has been mixed with 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats in their last 5 games, while Augsburg's unbeaten streak is more impressive with two 2-2 draws with Hertha and Bayern. Both have been in good form.
The match up
Elversberg are a really interesting team to watch, Vincent Wagner has set them up in a 4-2-3-1 formation that is built around quick transitions, high-tempo play and aggressive turnover play. Augsburg are playing a more compact and pragmatic style under Manuel Baum, the team is compact, relies on the wing-backs and is designed to absorb pressure and counterattack.
That is a contrast in styles that could make this very interesting tactical battle, with Elversberg's tempo against Augsburg's structure. The hosts are the slight favourites at 31/20, but Augsburg are just behind at 171/100 and the draw is 73/25. The visitors are a hard-to-be- beat team, but too many stalemates mean they haven't taken off yet.
Elversberg's home form is a little better with 2 home games played, and 1 win and 1 defeat, but Augsburg have already conceded 4 goals in 2 away games, so I'll take the hosts to edge it in this one, but don't be surprised if Augsburg pinches a point.
Over 2.5 goals at 2/5 is fine, but given the draw price and the fact that Augsburg have drawn their last 2, this has the feel of a draw, or a cagey game where a goal is enough to win it for either side.
