Union Berlin vs Augsburg Prediction and Betting Tips | January 15th 2025

The action continues in round 17 of the German Bundesliga as Union Berlin play host to Augsburg at the An der alten Försterei on Wednesday. Having failed to win the last eight league clashes between the two teams, Steffen Baumgart’s men will head into the game looking to get one over the visitors and end this five-year streak.

Union Berlin failed to stop the rot last Saturday when they fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Heidenheim at the Voith-Arena. Baumgart’s side have lost seven straight outings and are without a win in their last 11 matches, losing nine and claiming two draws since October’s 2-0 victory over Holstein Kiel.

With 16 points from 16 matches, Union Berlin are currently 12th in the Bundesliga standings, level on points with Wednesday’s visitors in 13th place.

Like the home side, Augsburg were left empty-handed once again as they suffered a 1-0 defeat against Stuttgart at the WWK Arena. Jess Thorup’s men have lost four games on the bounce, conceding 11 goals and scoring twice since December’s 2-2 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt.

While Augsburg will be looking to arrest their slump on Wednesday, results away from home offer little optimism as they have failed to win their seven league games on the road this season.
