THE PREDICTION

Bayer Leverkusen made a real statement last time out beating Borussia Monchengladbach 4-0 and will be expected to back this up with another positive result here away at Augsburg. The hosts have accrued just a single point from their opening two games without scoring and this doesn’t bode well for them against a strong Leverkusen side. Provided the visitors maintain their discipline defensively, they’ll be in a strong position to gain another three points here with their attack expected to create a number of chances against an Augsburg defence who conceded four against Hoffenheim in their most recent home game. Therefore, Bayer Leverkusen have to be favoured for victory in this one.
