On Saturday afternoon, struggling Wolfsburg hosts Augsburg at the Volkswagen Arena as the home team looks to end a poor recent run in the Bundesliga.
Wolfsburg winless in ten league gamesA 2-0 defeat at league leaders Bayer Leverkusen last time out means that Wolfsburg are winless in the previous ten games in the Bundesliga.
Preventing their opponents from scoring has been a big issue for the Wolves of late, as they have conceded at least two goals in the last three Bundesliga outings.
They have also not kept a clean sheet in any of their ten winless games in the German top-flight.
Wolfsburg’s recent winless run has led them to drop to 13th place in the table. However, a seven-point gap remains to the league’s bottom three.
Niko Kovac’s team has failed to win in six home matches in the German top-flight, having picked up just three draws and suffered three defeats.
Their recent home games in the Bundesliga have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in six of the previous nine home outings in the German top flight.
Augsburg looking to extend their winning runThe Bavarians are on something of a hot streak. A 1-0 home win over Heidenheim last time out was their third straight victory in the Bundesliga.
Augsburg’s recent Bundesliga outings have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight matches in the German top flight.
The recent stellar run of Bundesliga form has moved Augsburg up to ninth place in the table, eight points adrift of the European spots.
The visitor's recent away form in the Bundesliga has been poor, as they have won just two of their last eight matches in the German top flight.
What am I backing?This is a hard game to predict, as although Augsburg are on a winning run, their away form has been unpredictable of late. The bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals scored, as both teams’ recent games have been relatively high-scoring.
