Augsburg vs Union Berlin Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Augsburg’s push for a top-six spot in the Bundesliga will face stiff resistance from Union Berlin, who are battling to save their season. This matchday 29 at the WWK Arena in Augsburg will see the hosts start in seventh place with 36 points, while the visitors are 13th with 29 points. Augsburg is six points behind sixth-placed Eintracht. With six rounds to go, that gap might not be too difficult to break, especially with Eintracht not in the best of their form. Yet, Augsburg needs to keep their end of the bargain and keep winning. A 3-1 loss to Hoffenheim last time out was a big blow, as it came on the heels of a 1-1 draw with Cologne after winning four in a row. Their form at home isn’t too imposing, either, as Augsburg have won only two of their last seven home league games.

Union is six points above the relegation play-off spot and seven above automatic relegation places. With six rounds to go, including this, the threat of relegation is still hovering around the visitors if their form doesn’t improve. It could have been worse if not for a late Kevin Volland goal in the reverse fixture to earn a 1-1 draw. They come into this trip after a 1-0 loss to leaders Bayer Leverkusen, making it their third defeat in five league games. With only one win across their last six Bundesliga matches, Union are still looking over their shoulder at the business end of the season. While their overall form has improved since the horror run at the start of the campaign, Union are still poor travellers. They have won just one of their last 17 away matches in all competitions, losing 11 and drawing five.
