Bayer Leverkusen vs Augsburg predictions: Die Werkself can make history again
- Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten in their last 50 matches
- Augsburg have lost four games on the spin
- Recommended bet: Bayer Leverkusen -2 goals on handicap
There really are no words left to describe Bayer Leverkusen's season.
They have already wrapped up their first-ever Bundesliga title and have both the Europa League and German Cup finals to look forward to later this month.
And, if they avoid defeat against Augsburg on Saturday, they would become the first team in the Bundesliga era to go the entire league season unbeaten.
Xabi Alonso's group have been exceptionally determined all season long and it would be a bold move to oppose them against a mid-table Augsburg team struggling with injuries.
Team news
Florian Wirtz was not involved in Leverkusen's clash with Bochum but he should make the bench in this one, but defender Odilon Kossounou is out with an ankle injury.
Kevin Mbabu is suspended for the visitors, who will also be without Robert Gumny, Raphael Framberg, Fin Dahmen, Fredrik Jensen, Reece Oxford and Elvis Rexhbecaj. Ruben Vargas, meanwhile, is a doubt.
The stats
Die Werkself are on a sensational 50-game unbeaten run in all competitions and will complete an unbeaten Bundesliga season if they avoid defeat against Augsburg.
They have scored a whopping 87 goals in the Bundesliga this season, meaning they have averaged 2.64 goals per game.
Augsburg, meanwhile, have lost each of their last four contests, conceding 12 goals in the process.
Prediction
Bayer have broken record after record this campaign and they should complete an unbeaten Bundesliga season on Saturday.
Their 33 matches in the top flight have yielded 27 wins and six draws and they can finish the season in style against Augsburg.
Leverkusen have not missed a beat all campaign and have scored five goals in each of their last two league matches, both of which were on the road, against Eintracht Frankfurt and Bochum.
This time around they will be back on their own patch and they should not be fazed by the challenge ahead of them.
Alonso has crafted an incredibly well-drilled and well-organised unit, who will not yet be thinking about their upcoming finals and should get the job done with ease.
Leverkusen have scored 87 goals in the Bundesliga this season and can win by at least three goals against an Augsburg team who are missing key personnel at the back from Mbabu to Gumny.
Jess Thorup's side are in no position to cause Leverkusen problems, having lost four matches on the spin, and their last away fixture ended in a 5-1 humbling by Borussia Dortmund.
