Augsburg vs Union Berlin pits a side who cannot stop scoring or conceding against a Bundesliga bottom-two outfit at the WWK Arena on Saturday, and the hosts deserve their billing as favourites.
Augsburg sit 10th, yet a fast start has faded into a winless run, and last weekend's 4-3 defeat at Elversberg summed them up: lively going forward, flimsy at the back.
Union Berlin are 17th, but they head to the WWK Arena unbeaten in their last two league outings and looking far more stubborn than their table position suggests.
The head-to-head record is perfectly level at two wins apiece and two draws. Augsburg need to arrest their slide, while Union need points to climb out of trouble.
Augsburg vs Union Berlin Form
Augsburg are winless in four games, but nobody could accuse them of being dull. Their attack keeps firing, and Fabian Rieder is the man pulling the strings, directly involved in a goal in five of his six most recent top-flight outings. The problem is at the other end, where protecting a lead and defending counter attacks are clear weaknesses.
Union Berlin have tightened up, following a 1-0 win over Elversberg with a goalless draw against Borussia Dortmund. Protecting a lead is one of their strengths and attacking set pieces are their biggest weapon, with Rani Khedira and Michel Aebischer set to anchor the engine room. Finishing remains the weak spot, which is why they are still down near the foot of the table.
Augsburg vs Union Berlin Lineups & Team News

Augsburg: S. Mounié (Injured/out), T. Breithaupt (Injured/out), F. Sakar (Injured/out), N. Banks (Injured/out), A. Claude-Maurice (Injured/out), S. Suso (Injured/doubtful), M. Kömür (Injured/doubtful)
Union Berlin: A. Markgraf (Injured/out), M. Friedrich (Injured/out), S. Nsoki (Injured/out), A. Ilic (Injured/out), J. Juranovic (Injured/out)
Augsburg
This game will likely come too soon for Alexis Claude-Maurice, a blow given he has found the net twice against this opponent across his last three meetings with them. Mert Kömür will be assessed after an ankle injury picked up in training, while Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Michael Gregoritsch and Anton Kade could all return in a probable 3-4-2-1.
Union Berlin
Andrej Ilic is unfit, and Union lose a player who has had a hand in a goal every single time he has faced Augsburg across his last three meetings with them. Oliver Burke and Livan Burcu are both fit, with Burcu set to replace Kastriot Imeri in a probable 4-3-3, the biggest change across the Augsburg vs Union Berlin lineups.

Augsburg vs Union Berlin Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Augsburg 2-1 Union Berlin. The Augsburg vs Union Berlin betting odds make the hosts favourites at 4/5 with PricedUp, and rightly so. Augsburg carry far more threat going forward, but their back line is too generous to expect a clean sheet, so Union should get on the scoresheet without stopping the home win.
Best Bets
Augsburg to win in the Win Market. They are the model's favourites at home. The hosts carry a 51% win probability, comfortably ahead of both the draw and the away win. Union are 17th in both the standings and the form table, and a side that struggles to finish is poorly built to outscore this Augsburg attack.
Both Teams To Score: Yes. Both sides are expected to score. Of our Augsburg vs Union Berlin best bets, this is the one that leans on Augsburg's defending, with both teams to score carrying a 63% probability. Augsburg have shipped at least two goals in each of their last four Bundesliga matches, so Union should find a way through.
Augsburg vs Union Berlin Bet Builder
Our Augsburg vs Union Berlin bet builder tips lean on the hosts' attack, combining home goals, an Arijon Ibrahimovic shot on target, a busy corner count and a Chrislain Matsima card.
Augsburg Over 1.5 Total Home Goals: Augsburg have hit the net at least twice in all six of their Bundesliga matches, and Union's defence gives little reason to expect anything different.
Arijon Ibrahimovic Over 0.5 Player Shots On Target: the attacking midfielder has never gone without a shot on target across his four top-flight appearances this term.
Over 12.5 Total Corners: this line has landed five times in Augsburg's last six matches, and Union's love of width and crosses should keep the count ticking over.
Chrislain Matsima To Be Shown A Card: the centre-back has picked up two bookings across his previous three outings. It is the weakest leg, but Union's direct, wide approach will test him.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 30/1 and is as short as 28/1 elsewhere.

Augsburg vs Union Berlin Talking Points
Set pieces are the obvious flashpoint. Attacking set pieces are Union's standout strength, and defending them is one of Augsburg's soft spots, along with dealing with attacks down the wings, which plays straight into Union's wide, cross-heavy style. Rani Khedira and Felix Uduokhai also face their former club, and Uduokhai brings an edge after picking up three bookings across his last five top-flight appearances. Lustrinelli has made Union harder to beat since being appointed head coach in May 2026, but our Augsburg vs Union Berlin prediction still sides with the hosts, because his team struggle to finish what they create.
