Team analysis: Augsburg
Augsburg are facing serious challenges in the Bundesliga this season, registering just one win in their last five games. Their attacking performance is extremely weak, with only four goals scored in those five matches, while they kept two clean sheets. Their style of play is often predictable and lacking in creativity, meaning they often rely on sporadic attacks to threaten the opposition’s goals. In matches against stronger teams like Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayern, Augsburg showed serious defensive weaknesses, where they allowed a large number of opportunities for the opponents. Thorup’s team has problems with the organization of the game, which often puts them in an awkward position when they have to defend the result.
One of the key weaknesses is insecurity in defense and concentration, which was shown in defeats against stronger teams, where they allowed the opposing attackers to pass easily. At home, they managed to consolidate to a certain extent and achieved three wins in the last four matches, but it is not enough when a team like Leverkusen comes, which plays very organized and disciplined. Thorup’s team could have serious problems in containing the attack of Leverkusen who come in excellent form and with a strong attack.
Team analysis: Bayer Leverkusen
Leverkusen are currently one of the most established teams in the Bundesliga, with eight wins in their last nine games in all competitions. Alonso has built a team that plays compact and disciplined defensively, with solid blocks and well-organized lines. They did a great job against Inter Milan in the last game, winning 1-0, where they showed maturity and stability in the game. Leverkusen’s defense is very strong, with only four goals conceded in their last nine matches, which clearly shows how confident they are when it comes to keeping a clean sheet.
The attack is also very effective, scoring 16 goals in the same period, which includes a 3-0 win against RB Salzburg and a 2-0 win against St. Pauli. Injuries to players such as Amine Adli and Jonas Hofmann will not significantly affect the team’s game, thanks to the depth of the squad and the quality of substitutes that Alonso has at his disposal. Alonso also managed to create a good balance between offensive and defensive tasks, which allows the team to be both productive offensively and stable defensively. Leverkusen come with clear tactics and high control of the game, which should give them another confident victory against Augsburg’s weaknesses.
Betting suggestion: Bayer Leverkusen to win (2)
Based on the current form and quality of both teams, a Bayer Leverkusen win seems like a safe bet. Leverkusen play with a lot of confidence and stability, while Augsburg have serious weaknesses in defense and attack that could be exploited by the visitors. Augsburg struggle to cope with stronger opponents and their style of play often puts them in an awkward situation when they have to defend a result. On the other hand, Leverkusen proved their ability to adapt to different opponents and situations, which should allow them to win this match with more certainty.
