Bayer Leverkusen vs Augsburg

Bundesliga

AUG VS LEV MATCH PREVIEW:

Bayer Leverkusen host FC Augsburg in a Bundesliga match at BayArena, Tonight at 07:00 PM IST.

With 44 points from 27 games, the hosts are 5th in the table coming into this match, just one point behind 4th placed Frankfurt Eintracht. Considering all the big perks that comes with playing in the Champions League, you can say for Leverkusen, a lot is riding on the matches involving teams currently lying in the mid table or in the bottom half.

Also, Bundesliga is an eighteen team competition. Only 34 round of fixtures are played in Germany’s top-tier. If things don’t go as planned for Heiko Herrlich in this match, Leverkusen may be left with too much to cover in the remaining fixtures. So a win is the most welcome outcome for the Die Werkself faithful.

FC Augsburg, on the other hand, slipped out of the top-half of the table for the first time this year after suffering a chastening 1-3 defeat at home against Werder Bremen. Also, despite their far-looking position in the table, the visitors are still in with a chance to finish in the top-6, as the gap between them and RB Leipzig, who are 6th, is just 8 points. It means they would be in Europe if they achieve this target.

But it’s easier said than done and Augsburg need to win on the road and against the big teams if they want the continental football next season at Augsburg Arena.
