BW Lohne vs Augsburg – Augsburg is looking to take the first step towards Berlin by moving on to the second stage of the DFB-Pokal with the ultimate goal of reaching the Olympiastadion finals next spring.

The Bavarian club, who will play surprise package Freiburg next weekend when their 2022–23 Bundesliga season gets underway, was previously eliminated from the competition in the first round.

After losing to Bochum in the German top division on penalties last October, Augsburg struggled and finished 14th, only five points above the relegation zone.

Enrico Maassen, a former head coach at Borussia Dortmund, has been named the club’s new manager in response, taking over for Markus Weinzierl, whose second tenure as manager ended in May.

Maassen, who has a growing reputation and previously guided Dortmund’s Under-23 team to the 3. Liga, will be eager to have a successful debut in competitive play at the age of 38.

Prior to the match on Sunday, Augsburg twice thrashed inferior foes 5-0 in preseason friendly matches, but they were then held by SV Sandhausen and Schalke, and they also suffered defeats to Rennes and Dynamo Ceske Budejovice.

With such a summer schedule, they are prepared for a cup match against Blau-Weiss Lohne, who are riding high after being promoted from the Oberliga Niedersachsen last year.

The Lower Saxony club is consequently expected to compete in the fourth-tier Regionalliga Nord, and they earned their spot in the DFB-Pokal first round by winning the amateur Lower Saxony Cup at the end of May.

After winning the championship match 6-5 on penalties against Heeslinger SC, the Lohner have played some high-profile friendlies to get ready for the coming of top-flight opponents.

After losing to PSV, Schalke, and Groningen by scores of 6-0, 7-0, and 3-1, respectively, it is obvious that Henning Riesselmann’s team will find it extremely difficult to defeat Augsburg.

BW Lohne vs Augsburg – Betting Analysis

Even though it will be a pivotal time in Lohne’s history, the Bundesliga team will likely win Sunday’s cup match, probably by a big margin.

The visitors should be able to smoothly exit Heinz-Dettmer Stadion with a spot in the second round secured thanks to their attacking options.

Augsburg has the ability to generate a sizable number of opportunities and successful shots on goal. Blau-Weiß Lohne, on the other hand, won’t find it easy to score themselves, although we do see them succeeding here at least once.

So when the referee blows the final whistle, we anticipate seeing a respectable Augsburg winning score of 1-3.
