THE LOWDOWN

AUGSBURG

Augsburg’s 1-0 defeat away at Mainz means that it’s now four Bundesliga matches in a row without victory for them, two of those draws and the other two losses. They lacked potency against Mainz in what was a drab game and were punished for it, conceding a couple of minutes before half-time. They come into this match in 15th-place, just above the bottom three but with a crucial cushion of six points.

FREIBURG

Freiburg have taken just one point from the last 12 available to them in the Bundesliga, losing three of their last four. Whilst their form in Europe has been better, they must improve domestically to give themselves a chance of finishing inside the top six. Their most recent league fixture saw them come from behind three times to draw against Eintracht Frankfurt and they backed this up with a Europa League victory over French side Lens, the tie being decided after extra time.

THE TEAM NEWS

THE PREDICTION

Neither of these two teams are in a particularly good place right now, with both going through a bad spell of results in the Bundesliga. It would therefore be no surprise if this affair lacked quality throughout much of it when taking into Augsburg and Freiburg’s respective struggles. Goals may prove hard to come by over the course of 90 minutes and with that in mind, backing under 2.5 goals is well worth considering in this one.

TIP: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
