Augsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen prediction 13.01.2024

• Competition: Bundesliga
• Date: 13th January 2024
• Kickoff: 14:30 UTC / 15:30 CET
• Venue: WWK ARENA

This weekend, Bayer Leverkusen, aiming to secure their first-ever victory in the German top flight, will face Augsburg in an away game.

Seven games into the season, the hosts were expected to be relegated from the Bundesliga. However, their fate drastically changed before the Christmas break. Jess Thorup’s team suffered only one defeat in ten games going into the holiday season, which significantly boosted their standing, putting them eight points ahead of the relegation zone.

Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen is experiencing a memorable campaign. The team managed by Xabi Alonso remains undefeated in the season’s German top flight and is currently leading by four points over Bayern. Die Werkself is also performing exceptionally well in Europe, finishing at the top of their Europa League group with a perfect record of six wins from six matches.

Augsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals

Last season, Augsburg’s defence ranked fifth-worst in the German Bundesliga, and they have yet to fix these defensive issues. In the seventeen competitive games they’ve played this season, Die Fuggerstädter has not managed a single game without conceding a goal. In their most recent league game against Stuttgart, they allowed three goals.

This season, Bayern Leverkusen matches have been anything but dull. The visiting team has managed to score a minimum of two goals in eight out of their last ten games in all competitions. Moreover, a bet on more than 2.5 goals has proved successful seven times during this period.

Augsburg and Leverkusen matches are also recognized for their entertainment value. There have been at least three goals scored in three out of their last four encounters, and I predict this weekend’s game will follow the same pattern.

• Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
• Augsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen prediction: 1-3
