Augsburg hosts Bayer Leverkusen in round 6 of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, September 28th at WWK Arena (Augsburg)
In the last season of Bundesliga, Augsburg finished in 15th place. The team was a step away from falling to the survival zone. Augsburg had huge problems in defense. Among all the teams that remained in Bundesliga for the next season, it had the worst defense. However, the club did a good job in the attack. This is what saved the team from relegation to the lower division. In the summer off-season, the club also did not achieve much success in friendly matches. Several players came as free agents: Stefan Lichtsteiner (Arsenal), Marek Suchy (Basel) and Niklas Müller (RB Leipzig). They can become the basis of the team or be sold for a decent amount. Besides free agents, the club made several transfers: Reece Oxford (West Ham), Tomas Koubek (Rennes) and Florian Niederlechner (Freiburg). Ausburg failed the opening match in the German Cup, having lost to Verl (1: 2). And the club has not managed to please its fans in the new season of the German championship so far. In the first round, Ausburg met Borussia Dortmund. It opened the score in the first minute, and that apparently angered its opponent. As a result, the German grandee gained a landslide victory - 1:5. Then Augsburg tied with Union with a 1:1 score, lost to Werder Bremen (2:3), surprisingly beat Eintracht (2:1) and tied with Freiburg (1:1).

Bayer managed to surprise with its game in the last season. For more than half the championship, the club was in the middle of the standings. But coach Peter Bosch managed to bring it to the top at the end of the season. Bayer took fourth place and grabbed the last ticket to the Champions League. The Company XI could not keep one of the leaders of the team - Brandt. Bosch strengthened the center of the field with midfielders Nadiem Amiri and Kerem Demirbay (Hoffenheim). In the preseason, Bayer showed disgusting results. It managed to win only one of eight matches. Frankly, half of the rivals had a level of German Bundesliga 2. In the new season of the national championship, the results are also not entirely comforting. Bayer managed to beat two outsiders first - Paderborn (3:2) and Fortuna (3:1), but in the third round, the opponent was equal (Hoffenheim), and the game ended in a draw (0-0). And in the last match, Bayer suffered a crushing defeat from Borussia Dortmund with a 0:4 score. And immediately after that, it lost to Lokomotiv Moscow in the group stage of the Champions League (1:2). But the last round ended with a much better result – a victory over Union Berlin (2:0).
The bookmakers claim that Bayer will win this match and confirm this with a rather low coefficient. Of course, Bayer has certain problems in the new season, as well as in the Champions League. But it doesn’t lose to weak teams. And Augsburg is exactly such a team.
Prediction for the match: Bayer Leverkusen to win
