Augsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen – Match Preview and Prediction
Augsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen – Bayer Leverkusen led the Bundesliga standings in 2023 by four points after a remarkable 13 wins and 3 draws in the first 16 rounds.
When they travel to WWK Arena on Saturday afternoon to play Augsburg in Matchday No. 17, they will be hoping to begin 2024 in the same manner.
Die Werkself have excelled this season. Their last 12 league games have been 10 wins and 2 ties. They won their last two home games over Bochum and Eintracht Frankfurt with seven straight goals.
The team’s leading scorer, Viktor Boniface, is out with an injury, but Patrik Schick, his substitute, scored a hat-trick in the 4-0 rout of Bochum at BayArena in the previous round.
Augsburg has only one point from the previous three league matches, giving Schick and company room to dominate early. The hosts lost 0-3 to Stuttgart in their last 2023 match.
Nonetheless, Augsburg’s respectable home record keeps them well out of the red zone. Out of eight home games in the league this season, the club managed by Danish coach Jess Thorup has only lost one.
