Augsburg vs Fortuna Dusseldorf Live Stats & Betting Odds
Augsburg Prediction – Can Augsburg move into top half?
Although they occupy 11th place on the Bundesliga table, Tuesday night’s hosts, Augsburg will be in confident mood as they prepare for the visit of lowly Fortuna Dusseldorf to their WWK Arena with the hosts showing impressive form of late.
The hosts have won 4 of their last 5 matches overall in the German top flight by collecting wins against Paderborn, Hertha Berlin, Mainz and Hoffenheim, and with the exception of Hoffenheim, all of these wins were captured against teams sitting in the lower half of the table, so Augsburg will be eyeing off another three points against Fortuna Dusseldorf in this clash.
Augsburg will also be keen to further improve upon an overall home record which stands at 3-2-2 13/11 although they have won their last two home matches on the trot with the aforementioned victories over Hertha Berlin and Mainz in 4-0 and 2-1 wins respectively.
All three points here could see Augsburg move up into the top half of the Bundesliga and the likes of forwards, Niederlechner (7 goals), Vargas and Richter (3 goals apiece), will be keen to make this happen.
Fortuna Dusseldorf Prediction – Can Dusseldorf move out of bottom three?
The visitors currently occupy third from bottom in the German top flight and therefore sit in the relegation play-off spot prior to this difficult looking trip to face a rejuvenated Augsburg outfit in their own backyard on Tuesday night.
Dusseldorf’s current situation certainly hasn’t been helped by the fact that the visitors are without a win in the Bundesliga from their last 5 matches overall, a disappointing sequence that consists of 3 defeats to Bayern Munich 4-0, Borussia Dortmund 5-0 and a 3-0 loss to RB Leipzig.
Fortuna Dusseldorf have won just 3 of their last 15 matches overall in the Bundesliga, and with a poor away record of 1-2-5 10/19 so far on their travels, this could be a tough trip for the visitors who have now gone 7 away matches without a win in the German top flight.
These last 7 matches on the road include 5 defeats, while they’ve captured just 3 away wins out of their last 16 matches on their travels as well.
Key-Facts – Augsburg vs Fortuna Dusseldorf
- Augsburg have won 4 of their last 5 matches in the Bundesliga
- Dusseldorf have won just 3 of their last 15 matches overall in the Bundesliga
- Dusseldorf have won just 3 of their last 16 matches away from home
Betting Tips Verdict
Augsburg have picked up some impressive wins lately and their momentum should get them over the line here.
