On February 3, the VVK Arena will host the match of the 19th round of the Bundesliga 1, in which Augsburg will meet Bayer. The start of the fight is scheduled for 20:30 European time.
Augsburg
The team, shortly after rising to the top division of Germany, was able to break into the Europa League once. But over the following years, everyone was already able to make sure that the real level of the “fuggers” is that they hang over the relegation zone. It was the same last season when they finished in 14th position. Moreover, she scored 2 points more than a year earlier, but finished in 13th place. Obviously, the project management wants to do more, and in the summer the new mentor was Enrico Masen. So far, nothing has changed qualitatively: there are more defeats than victories, and the club is still hanging below the equator. True, after a pause, in winter, “Augsburg” is not bad. He equalized three times in Dortmund, but ended up losing to Borussia 3-4. But at home they beat Mönchengladbach minimally. Only with “Freiburg” there really was no chance, lost 1-3.
Bayer
According to the results of the last season, the club climbed to 3rd place, and it was quite stable in that draw. But before that, several times he could not qualify for the Champions League. However, already at the beginning of autumn, the “aspirinists” failed so much that the recent hero, Gheorardo Seoane, was fired without regrets. But his successor, Xabi Alonso, began to show efficiency only in November (except for the 3rd place in the Champions League group, which was won by Atlético). The main thing is that the representative of Leverkusen was able to continue the series of victories even after the resumption of the draw, already in January. First, a shootout was won in Mönchengladbach from Borussia, after which they confidently won against Bochum, 2-0. That’s just then with the same score lost to “Dortmund” at home.
head-to-head statistics
Bayer have never lost to Augsburg, although they have played with him regularly since 2008. But in August, the Fuggers scored 2-1 in Leverkusen.
Forecast
Bookmakers believe in guests. Bayer as a whole looks decent in winter, so we recommend betting on his victory with a coefficient of 1.78 at Parimatch.
