Augsburg vs Union Berlin

Augsburg are aiming to boost their survival hopes as they host Union Berlin in a German Bundesliga fixture on Thursday.

The hosts have been out of sorts lately and need a swift upturn in fortunes. Meanwhile, the visitors are showing some good form at the moment and can do enough to avoid defeat in this one.

Augsburg News

Augsburg come into this clash in the middle of a poor run, having picked up just two wins in their last 10 matches across all competitions. Sandro Warner’s team have been beaten seven times on this run, including a 4-0 defeat at Borussia Monchengladbach in their previous Bundesliga fixture.

That poor run means there is now a real threat of relegation for Augsburg who sit just two points above the bottom three. Home form is likely to play a key role in their survival and they are unbeaten in their last three fixtures in front of their fans.

As evidenced by the defeat at Monchengladbach, Augsburg often struggle defensively and are without a clean sheet in seven of their last 10 matches. However, they have scored in two of their last three home matches in the league.

Union Berlin News

Union Berlin are challenging further up the table from the hosts as they sit ninth at the moment. They were held to a 2-2 home draw by Mainz last time out in the Bundesliga, with Woo-Yeong Jeong and Marin Ljubicic getting their goals.

That result means Union Berlin are now unbeaten in their last four Bundesliga matches. Steffen Baumgart's team have also won at least one half in two of their last three away matches in the league.

Union Berlin have shown some attacking quality lately, scoring in eight of their last nine matches across all competitions. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet seven times on this run.

Head to Head

Augsburg have seven wins while Union Berlin have picked up four victories, with seven draws in the last 18 matches. However, the visitors claimed a 2-1 away victory in the last meeting back in May.

Verdict

Augsburg v Union Berlin

Augsburg are struggling at the moment and could find things difficult against Union Berlin, who have been building some momentum lately. The visitors are unbeaten in their last four matches and could earn a win or draw on Thursday.

Both teams have had problems at the back lately and could be backed to score here. Union Berlin have also won at least one half in two of their last three Bundesliga away matches, and a similar pattern could be in the cards.
