Augsburg vs Union Berlin Lineups, Prediction, Betting Picks & Odds

Augsburg vs Union Berlin Game Preview

Augsburg host Union Berlin at the WWK Arena on Saturday. Our Augsburg vs Union Berlin prediction comes down to one thing: the home attack is too good for a struggling visitor.

Augsburg sit 10th in the standings. They create plenty and take a ton of shots, but a defense that struggles to slow opponents down keeps turning good days into messy ones.

Union Berlin sit 17th and are in real trouble, but they are stubborn when they get in front and dangerous from set pieces. Finishing is their weak spot, and it limits the damage they do.

Across six previous meetings, Augsburg and Union Berlin have two wins apiece, and the other two ended in ties. The hosts need a win here to end their winless run.

Augsburg vs Union Berlin Recent Results

Augsburg's fast start has stalled, and they have now gone four games without a win. Last weekend at newly promoted Elversberg summed it up: a late rally, and still a 4-3 defeat. Fabian Rieder remains the creative heartbeat in midfield. Scoring is not the problem for this team. Defending is.

Union Berlin arrive in better shape than their spot in the standings suggests. A 1-0 win over Elversberg was followed by a scoreless tie with Borussia Dortmund, and now they are chasing a third straight unbeaten Bundesliga game. Rani Khedira anchors a midfield that will make this a scrappy afternoon.

Augsburg

The Augsburg vs Union Berlin lineups news leans toward the hosts. Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Michael Gregoritsch and Anton Kade could all return, and all three are in the probable XI. This game will likely come too soon for Alexis Claude-Maurice, and Mert Kömür will be assessed after picking up an ankle injury in training.

Union Berlin

Oliver Burke and Livan Burcu are both fit to feature, and Burcu should replace Kastriot Imeri in the starting XI. Andrej Ilic is unfit, which is a real loss for Union. He has scored or assisted against Augsburg in each of his three career appearances against the club in the Bundesliga.

Augsburg vs Union Berlin Prediction & Best Picks

Our Prediction

Our prediction is Augsburg 2-1 Union Berlin. The hosts create far more than a Union side near the foot of the standings, and finishing has been a weakness for the visitors all season. But Augsburg's defense is too loose to trust with a clean sheet, so Union should get on the board before the home side pulls ahead.

Best Picks

Augsburg to beat Union Berlin in the Moneyline market. The first of our Augsburg vs Union Berlin best picks backs the favorites. Augsburg carry a 51% win probability, roughly double Union's figure, and there is a big gap between the two in the standings. This is the main result market at a sensible price, and it lines up with the scoreline we're calling.

Both teams to score: Yes, in the Both Teams To Score market. The both-teams-to-score probability sits at 63%, and Augsburg games keep turning into shootouts.

Augsburg vs Union Berlin Same Game Parlay

Our Augsburg vs Union Berlin same game parlay picks lean on the home attack: an Augsburg goals leg, an Arijon Ibrahimovic shot on target, a corners line and a Chrislain Matsima card.

Augsburg Over 1.5 Total Home Goals. The hosts have scored 2+ goals in 6 of their last 6 Bundesliga games, so this line suits a team that is never short of goals.

Arijon Ibrahimovic Over 0.5 Player Shots On Target. The attacking midfielder has found the target in every one of his last four Bundesliga outings and projects to start behind Michael Gregoritsch.

Over 12.5 Total Corners. This line has landed in 5 of Augsburg's last 6 games. Augsburg cross often and Union play with width, so balls into the box should keep piling up corners.

Chrislain Matsima To Be Shown A Card. The center back has picked up a card in two of his past three outings, and Augsburg struggle to avoid fouls in dangerous areas against direct, cross-happy opponents.

Augsburg vs Union Berlin Talking Points

The WWK Arena has been a fortress. Augsburg have lost just once in their previous 14 home Bundesliga games under Manuel Baum, and that is the strongest argument for the hosts despite their current slump. The Augsburg vs Union Berlin betting odds point the same way, with Augsburg at -120 (Polymarket), although their price has eased slightly since opening while Union's has shortened. The bigger move is on goals. The total line has climbed since it opened, and with Augsburg's attack and a leaky back line on the same field, that is no surprise.
