Bundesliga midtable duo Augsburg and Heidenheim go head-to-head at the WWK Arena on Saturday afternoon.
Augsburg are on a roll in the BundesligaThe Bavarians have recorded back-to-back Bundesliga victories over Freiburg and Darmstadt, scoring at least two goals in both victories.
Their attacking displays have contributed to their recent league outings being high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their previous seven outings.
Augsburg’s recent wins have moved them up to tenth place in the Bundesliga table, a point above Saturday’s opponents and eight points adrift of the European spots.
Jesse Thorup’s team ended a four-game winless streak on home soil in the German top flight with a 2-1 win over Freiburg.
Their recent home games have certainly not been lacking in goals, as over 2.5 goals have been scored in ten of the last 13 home matches.
Augsburg will be looking for a repeat of their 5-2 win in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
Heidenheim is looking for a return to winning waysA 2-1 home defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt last time out means that Frank Schmidt’s team has failed to win in their previous three Bundesliga games, having picked up just one draw and suffering two defeats.
Their recent Bundesliga outings have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in the last four matches.
Despite the recent winless run, Heidenheim are 11 points clear of the league’s bottom three.
Heidenheim have been difficult to beat on their travels in the German top-flight, as they are unbeaten in their last five away games in the Bundesliga.
The visitor's away games in the German top-flight have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in eight of their last 11 matches.
What am I backing?There is very little between these two teams. This could be an even game, but I expect goals, so the bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals scored.
