Augsburg vs Schalke Prediction and Betting Tips

Match Preview

The Bundesliga season is set to resume this weekend, with Augsburg set to host Schalke at the WWK Arena. Both teams will be looking to get their seasons back on track after disappointing campaigns so far.

Augsburg

Augsburg have endured a difficult campaign this season, languishing in the bottom half of the table. They have only managed to win three of their 15 matches so far, and have lost their last four.

However, Enno Maaßen's side will be hoping to take advantage of Schalke's poor form when they meet on Sunday. Augsburg have a strong record at home, having won three of their last four matches at the WWK Arena.

Schalke

Schalke are bottom of the Bundesliga table, having failed to win any of their 15 matches so far. They have conceded a league-high 33 goals, and have only scored seven times themselves.

Thomas Reis' side will be desperate to end their winless run when they travel to Augsburg on Sunday. However, they face a tough task against a well-organized Augsburg side.

Prediction

Based on form, Augsburg are the favorites to win this match. They have a strong record at home, and Schalke have been in woeful form all season.

However, Schalke will be desperate to end their winless run, and they have a good record against Augsburg in recent years. They have won three of their last four meetings, including a 2-1 victory in Augsburg last season.

Ultimately, we predict that Augsburg will win this match 2-1. They are the home side and have the better form, but Schalke are a dangerous team and could easily cause an upset.
