Wolfsburg vs Augsburg: Match Prediction
Wolfsburg cannot win in five straight league matches (2 draws, 3 defeats), and this is the team's second-longest winless run of the current season. Moreover, during this spell the club have failed to cope even with neighbours in the lower half of the table. A home draw with the worst team in the competition only underlines the seriousness of the crisis. On home soil, Wolfsburg rarely give their fans reason to cheer, having won only two of their last 19 Bundesliga matches.
Augsburg, by contrast, are on the rise. Manuel Baum's side have avoided defeat in five of their last six league games (3 wins, 2 draws), including taking all three points from Munich. Psychologically and in terms of performances, the visitors have a clear advantage. All that remains is to turn it into something tangible on Wolfsburg's pitch, where the team have also avoided defeat in six of the last eight Bundesliga head-to-head meetings.
Prediction: Augsburg, double chance
