FC Augsburg vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen Preview
FC Augsburg have been in scintillating form, collecting four wins and a draw from their last five outings to sit fourth on current form. Their 3-0 dismantling of Schalke 04 in the opening fixture underlined the confidence coursing through Jess Thorup's side. The WWK Arena has become a fortress, and with over 2.5 goals landing in six of their last seven Bundesliga matches, Augsburg are providing plenty of entertainment alongside results.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen arrive in mixed shape, positioned fourteenth on recent form after a sequence of three wins, two defeats in their last five. That 3-2 loss to SV 07 Elversberg will have stung, exposing defensive frailties Xabi Alonso needs to address. Facundo Medina could make his full Bundesliga debut, while Moussa Diaby's return adds attacking depth. Goals have followed Leverkusen relentlessly, with over 2.5 struck in eleven of their last twelve league fixtures.
Augsburg's double-chance selection rests on their outstanding recent form. Four wins and a draw from five matches is the sort of run that breeds confidence at the WWK Arena. Crucially, the hosts have beaten Leverkusen in both of their last two head-to-head encounters, winning 2-0 at home in December 2025 and 2-1 away in April 2026, a sequence that undermines the visitors' historical dominance.
Leverkusen's form offers further encouragement for the home side. Xabi Alonso's men have won just three of their last five, and their recent 3-2 defeat to SV 07 Elversberg exposed defensive vulnerabilities. Facundo Medina is expected to make his full Bundesliga debut, while Moussa Diaby returns to contention, but integrating personnel mid-season can disrupt rhythm rather than restore it.
The home or draw pick is well supported at 3.75. Over 2.5 goals looks a strong supplementary selection at 1.40, given that six of Augsburg's last seven Bundesliga fixtures and eleven of Leverkusen's last twelve have cleared that threshold. Both teams to score at 1.40 also merits consideration in what should be an open, attacking contest.
