Augsburg take on the visitors Koln in the round 27 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, April 8th at WWK Arena (Augsburg).
Recently, Augsburg have become a very strong home team, and if they lose in the championship, it's only on away grounds. In their last five home matches, Enrico Maaßen's men have only dropped points once, drawing 1-1 with Schalke. In the other four matches, they have won all four: 2-1 against Werder Bremen and 1-0 against Hoffenheim, Bayer and Borussia Mönchengladbach. In the previous round, Augsburg took points away from Wolfsburg (2-2), and in their last four matches, they have only lost once, to Bayern in Munich.

It's unlikely that Cologne, who have only won one of their last 16 Bundesliga matches, will be able to beat Augsburg away from home, who haven't known defeat on their own turf for a long time. The only win for Cologne came in a home match against Eintracht Frankfurt. Since then, the "Goats" have only managed to collect two points, drawing with Union Berlin and Borussia Mönchengladbach, while losing four times: 0-2 to Wolfsburg and Bochum, 0-3 to Stuttgart, and 1-6 to Borussia Dortmund. I think a draw is the best that Baumgart's men can hope for in the next round.
In this match, two evenly-matched teams will face each other, two neighbors in the table. I consider Augsburg to be the favorite. Recently, they have looked better than their opponent both in terms of gameplay and results. Moreover, the home field advantage is on the side of Enrico Maaßen's men. As practice shows, home matches are their strong suit. Baumgart's team is deteriorating, and lately, they have practically stopped scoring (one goal in six rounds). In 13 away matches in the Bundesliga, Cologne has only won one. We shouldn't expect a win from the visitors in this round, and the hosts are obliged to at least secure a draw. I consider the 1X bet to be absolutely logical.
Prediction for the match: Augsburg not to lose (1X).
