Our Predictions
Both teams are cautious, and Augsburg’s attack has been toothless lately, suggesting a low-scoring draw. Odds favor a tight game, with a likely 0-0 or 1-1, making under 2.5 goals a good shout.
Union Berlin’s defense has been reliable, and Augsburg’s attack is struggling. Odds indicate a low-scoring away win or a clean sheet for Union, possibly 0-1, making the no BTTS and under 2.5 goals bet sensible.
Although Augsburg’s form is shaky, home advantage and recent trends suggest they might score, and Union could retaliate. A 2-1 or 2-2 scoreline is possible if Augsburg turns up offensively, pushing the game over 2.5 goals.
Welcome back to Extratips, where we slice through the football chaos to give you the hot takes and tip the scales for the big game. Today, it’s Augsburg hosting Union Berlin on May 17th at 1:30 PM in Germany’s Bundesliga. Augsburg, sitting 11th with 43 points, are fighting to stay clear of the relegation zone but have struggled lately, losing 4 of their last 5. Union Berlin, a solid 13th with 32 points, are more or less safe but still looking to finish strong after a tough run of form (D, D, D, L, L). These teams clashed to a goalless draw earlier this season, and despite Augsburg’s recent home woes, Union's away form suggests they might snatch a point. The odds are tight: Home at 2.20, Draw at 3.30, and Away at 3.30—so basically, anyone’s game. With Augsburg’s attack struggling (just 1 goal in their last 3 matches) and Union’s solid defense, expect a cautious game with limited goals. Key things to watch: Augsburg’s effort to break a four-game losing streak and Union’s ambition to avoid slipping further. Expect some tactical stalemate but a potential sting in the tail for Union if Augsburg picks up their aggression. Let’s dive into the predictions!
