On Sunday evening, Augsburg and Freiburg clash at the WKK Arena, with both teams hoping to boost their respective ambitions in the Bundesliga.
Augsburg has not won in four Bundesliga gamesThe Bavarians are without a victory in their last four matches in the German top flight. Last time out, Jess Thorup’s team suffered a 1-0 defeat at struggling Mainz.
The winless recent run has seen Augsburg drop to 14th place in the table. However, they are still seven points clear of the Bundesliga’s bottom three. Their recent league matches have been big-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings in the German top flight.
Augsburg’s recent home record has been poor, as a 2-2 draw against RB Leipzig means they have failed to win any of their last four home games in the Bundesliga.
Their recent home games in the German top flight have certainly not disappointed when it comes to goals, with over 2.5 goals scored in nine of their last 12 matches.
Wins in short supply for FreiburgThe team from the Black Forest have failed to win in their previous six games in all competitions. However, on Thursday night, Christian Streich’s team recorded an extra-time 3-2 win over Lens in the Europa League.
A 3-3 home draw against Eintracht Frankfurt in their last league game ended a three-match losing streak in the Bundesliga.
Like the home team, Freiburg’s recent Bundesliga outings have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals in their last five league games.
The visitors have been poor on their travels of late in the German top-flight, as they have suffered three consecutive away defeats, having conceded three in each loss.
What am I backing?Looking at the pair’s recent Bundesliga outings, this could be a highly entertaining encounter, as both teams have been involved in high-scoring games. With that in mind, the bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals scored.
