Augsburg vs. Wolfsburg: Match Prediction
The opponents are well-matched. Both teams have suffered only one defeat in the league this year and are currently contenders for the European competition zone. Augsburg performs well at home, but Wolfsburg is also strong away. However, I give the edge to the hosts, who have not lost to this upcoming opponent in six consecutive Bundesliga encounters (3 wins, 3 draws). Jess Thorup's side will rely on solid defense to secure points.
Augsburg has the second-longest clean sheet streak in the current league. The team last conceded more than one goal before the winter break. In their previous nine home Bundesliga matches, only Bayer Leverkusen managed to score more than once against Augsburg. However, Jess Thorup's side is currently struggling with scoring, having netted only two goals in their last five home games.
My prediction: Augsburg not to lose and Total under 3.5 goals
