Wolfsburg vs Augsburg Live Stats & Betting Odds
Wolfsburg Prediction – Can Wolfsburg go top of Bundesliga?
It’s a huge carrot to dangle for Wolfsburg on Sunday afternoon as the hosts would go top of the Bundesliga and 1 point clear of current league leaders, Bayern Munich if they take all three points against today’s visitors, Augsburg.
Wolfsburg extended their unbeaten run to 23 matches in all competitions during the week when they earned a decent point in a 2-2 draw away at Belgian side, Gent, in the Europa League, while results in the domestic Bundesliga have seen Sunday’s hosts remain unbeaten in the German top flight so far this season.
4 wins and 4 draws to date have helped lift Wolfsburg up into 5th place and just 2 points adrift of leaders, Bayern Munich, but 3 points in this clash with Augsburg would see Wolfsburg overhaul Bayern into top spot.
The hosts are unbeaten in their last 11 matches on home turf at their VOLKSWAGEN ARENA which includes an emphatic 8-1 demolition of today’s opponents, Augsburg, back in May of last season, so the hosts look in good shape to add to their points tally here.
Augsburg Prediction – Can Augsburg move out of bottom two?
The visitors are without a win from their last 4 matches in the Bundesliga after drawing 1-1 with Freiburg and a creditable 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich last time out, but also following defeats to Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Moenchengladbach – the latter resulting in a heavy 5-1 loss away from home.
With just 1 win to date from their first 8 matches of this new German top flight season, it looks like being a long, hard season for Augsburg and they look likely to be among the teams battling it out to avoid relegation later in the season unless their form improves dramatically.
Results away from home have been pretty poor too as Augsburg possess an early away record of 0-1-3 5/14 which includes the worst defensive record away from home in the Bundesliga so far this season which has contributed towards defeats at Borussia Dortmund 5-1, Werder Bremen 3-2 and a another 5-1 loss at Borussia Moenchengladbach.
Indeed, Augsburg have managed to register just 1 away win out of their last 16 matches on their travels in the Bundesliga and further punishment looks to be heading in their direction on Sunday against Wolfsburg.
Key-Facts – Wolfsburg vs Augsburg
- Wolfsburg are unbeaten in their last 23 matches in all competitions
- Augsburg have won just 1 out of their last 16 away matches on their travels
- Wolfsburg recorded a comprehensive 8-1 win over Augsburg last time they met
Betting Tips Verdict
