THE PREDICTION
Both these two teams are coming off the back of defeats, Augsburg away at Freiburg, whilst Bayer Leverkusen saw their winning run come to an end at the hands of Borussia Dortmund. The expectation is that Leverkusen will bounce back strongly, but have their work cut out for them away from home against an Augsburg side who have scored in 13 of their last 14 matches in all competitions. When you also factor in the offensive personnel at the disposal of the visitors, a high-scoring encounter appears likely, so back over 2.5 goals to be scored over the course of 90 minutes.
