Bayer Leverkusen preview: Big win last week
Coached by former Denmark boss Kasper Hjulmand, Bayer Leverkusen come into this one on the back of a 1-0 victory against a strong Borussia Dortmund side at the Westfalenstadion, courtesy of a winner from Robert Andrich.
Leverkusen returned from the March international break by hammering Wolfsburg by six goals to three, results that have now extended their unbeaten run in the league to seven matches.
Augsburg preview: Mid-table Augsburg
Augsburg begin the weekend sitting outside of the top-half of the table now after a very average run of form which has continued with back-to-back draws against Hoffenheim and Hamburg ahead of this one.
They raced into a 2-0 lead against Hoffenheim but were pegged back before half-time and that result means that they are now winless in their last five matches in the Bundesliga.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Augsburg prediction
Augsburg had put themselves in a position to push for European football but they have seemingly put their feet up and entered the so-called ‘on the beach’ mode in the middle-of-the-table. Even without home advantage, Leverkusen would expect to win to keep up the pressure on the top four and they are the firm favourites for this one on Saturday afternoon.
