THE PREDICTION
Augsburg are the only team in the Bundesliga to have not picked up any points from the last three matches, registering three successive defeats for the first time under Heiko Herrlich. They put up a good fight against Bayern Munich on Wednesday, but for the third time in five games they failed to score. Union Berlin had a similar experience in midweek, losing 1-0 at RB Leipzig, but that was the first time this season they have drawn a blank as the Berliners’ six-match unbeaten run came to an end. They will not be too disheartened as it was not a game they were expected to win. This is, however, and with a couple of rested players set to return to the side, the visitors should emerge victorious.
