Augsburg vs Bochum Prediction & Betting Tips

Augsburg vs Bochum Match Preview

Augsburg look to bounce back from their Bundesliga setback when they welcome Bochum for the DFB Pokal tie on Tuesday. Both teams have been unpredictable in recent weeks, and this clash promises an open contest between sides that often struggle defensively but create plenty in attack.

Augsburg Need a Reset After Heavy Defeat

The hosts were hammered 0-6 by Leipzig last weekend, exposing major defensive issues. That loss extended a poor run of one win in their last five across all competitions. Yet at home, Augsburg remain capable of early control, having led at the break in several of their recent matches.

Their last Pokal outing ended 1-1 in regulation time against Ulm, and that narrow escape adds pressure to deliver a response here. Despite the dip, the Fuggerstädter tend to find rhythm in front of their supporters. When they click, their high-tempo attack can overwhelm weaker defense, as seen in the 3-1 win against Wolfsburg earlier this month.

Bochum’s Momentum Fades on the Road

Bochum’s form has been inconsistent, alternating between thrilling wins and costly defensive lapses. They played out a 1-1 draw at Holstein Kiel last time out after edging Hertha Berlin 3-2 at home. However, away results remain shaky with two defeats and a draw in their last three league trips.

Their defense has been leaking goals, conceding three in each of their last two away defeats to Kaiserslautern and Aachen. Yet Bochum’s frontline has delivered, scoring in every match during that stretch. That ability to find the net keeps them dangerous, especially against an Augsburg side low on confidence after recent setbacks.

Augsburg vs Bochum Prediction

HT/FT Augsburg–Augsburg fits perfectly with this matchup, given the home side’s ability to start strongly before fading late. The hosts will want to restore pride after the Leipzig disaster, and their superior home rhythm could tilt the tie early in their favor.

Bochum’s attack ensures they won’t sit deep, but their poor defending on the road gives Augsburg the upper hand. Expect the home side to dominate early phases, press high, and create multiple chances. With both sides likely to open up after halftime, a comfortable Augsburg victory is on the cards.

A 3-0 home win looks a realistic scoreline if Augsburg rediscover their sharpness in front of goal.
