Augsburg vs Union Berlin Predictions

Augsburg have been in good form in 2024 and despite a lengthy injury list, can see off visiting Union Berlin.

A home win is my only selection on Friday.

Augsburg have won 4 of their last 6 matches
Augsburg have won 4 of their last 5 home matches against Union Berlin
Union Berlin have lost 9 of their last 13 away matches

Head to Head

Augsburg and Union Berlin will meet for their 14th competitive encounter. Augsburg have had the better of previous meetings with five wins to just one Union Berlin victory in 2020.

Seven of their 13 previous encounters finished as draws.

Augsburg Form

Augsburg's five-game unbeaten run was brought to an end with a 3-1 road loss at Hoffenheim last weekend. Jess Thorup's side enjoyed a four-game winning sequence before a 1-1 draw with Koln and last Saturday's reversal in Sinsheim.

At the WWK Arena, the Fuggerstadt are unbeaten in their last four matches since a 3-2 defeat against Bayern Munich in January.

Up to seventh in the Bundesliga, Augsburg sit six points behind sixth-placed Eintracht Frankfurt, who currently occupy the Europa Conference League qualification spot.

Augsburg boss Thorup must cope with a lengthy list of absentees on Saturday. Robert Gumny, Kevin Mbabu, Reece Oxford and Iago are among eight expected players set to miss out.

Union Berlin Form

Currently 13th in the Bundesliga, Union Berlin make the journey to Augsburg, still not safe from the threat of relegation. The Berliners find themselves just six points above the drop zone after a 1-0 home defeat against Leverkusen last weekend.

Nenad Bjelica's side have lost three of their last five Bundesliga matches, with blanks drawn in four of those five fixtures.

On their travels, Union have lost nine of their last 12 league games, while failing to score in eight of their ten most recent road trips.

Head coach Bjelica has some selection issues to deal with ahead of the trip to the WWK Arena. Lucas Tousart and Robin Gosens are suspended, while French defender Jérôme Roussillon is among three players ruled out because of injury.

Verdict

Augsburg v Union Berlin

Augsburg have a good record in this fixture and will be confident of claiming the points against a Union side that tends to struggle in away matches.

I'm backing the hosts to win at the WWK Arena.

Augsburg Win
