Bayer Leverkusen vs Augsburg Prediction & Match Preview

Bayer Leverkusen vs Augsburg Prediction

• Bayer Leverkusen put five goals past Frankfurt and Bochum each in the last two league games.
• Augsburg enter this off the back of four straight Bundesliga defeats.
• Each of Augsburg’s previous five away outings in the league saw four or more goals scored.

Bayer Leverkusen have a fantastic opportunity to become the first-ever team to finish a Bundesliga season without a defeat. To achieve such a memorable accomplishment, the Werkself only need to endure the 90 minutes of the clash against Augsburg on the final day of the 2023/24 campaign.

Bayer have enjoyed a remarkable campaign in this term of the Bundesliga. They ended Bayern Munich’s 11-year supremacy in some fashion. Xabi Alonso’s men mathematically secured their maiden Bundesliga title in Matchday No 29. Their unbeaten thread goes on to other tournaments as well. The Werkself will also play the UEFA Europa League final and the DFB Pokal final within the next seven days.

Augsburg have also had a decent campaign for their standards. They did drop in form in recent weeks but it will not ruin the generally positive all-around impression. The fact that Augsburg will finish the season miles away from the relegation scrap is quite satisfying for head coach Jess Thorup and his troops.

With two finals upcoming in the next seven days, we expect Xabi Alonso to rotate his starting XI for the final day fixture in the league. That said, the Spanish manager has already rotated his squad to a quite big extent in recent weeks and yet his players kept producing on a weekly basis.

Leverkusen will go into this on the back of scoring five goals in each of the last two league wins. They will be keen to preserve the unbeaten record and finish the league campaign in style in front of the home fans.

Augsburg have not been pulling up any trees of late with four successive league defeats. Nevertheless, Jess Thorup’s men managed to find the back of the net in all but one of the previous eleven league affairs.

We would not be surprised to see them scoring at BayArena knowing their rivals have kept just two clean sheets in the last seven outings across competitions. Home win & Both Teams To Score pick is the way to go here at the odds of 2.10.

We’ve seen at least four goals in each of Augsburg’s last five away matches in the league. They are now up against the second-best attack in the division. Bayer Leverkusen notched ten goals in the last two league wins.

At least four goals were also scored in four of the Werkself’s last five home fixtures across competitions. We see the value in backing the Over 1.5 goals in the first half pick at the 1.72 odds.
