- Kick-off: 19:30 UTC / 20:30 CET
- Venue: Alte Forsterei
Two German top flight teams struggling for form at the moment meet at Alte Forsterei on Wednesday evening as Union Berlin play host to Augsburg.
Union Berlin have given their fans little to cheer about in the last two months. Steffen Baumgart's side are winless in their last ten matches with seven defeats and failed to find the back of the net in more than half of those games. However, they will take heart from the fact that all three of their draws in that period came at the Alte Forsterei.
Augsburg meanwhile take a run of three successive defeats into Wednesday's game. Jess Thorup's men showed some signs of improvement in their last outing at home against Stuttgart last weekend, when they lost by a single goal. The defeat meant they have now won just one of their last nine games in all competitions; a run that leaves them just three points above the bottom three.
Union Berlin vs Augsburg Betting Tips: Draw & Under 2.5 goals
With both sides at their lowest in terms of confidence, it's likely to be a close game and I'm going for a low-scoring draw.
Union Berlin drew three of their last four Bundesliga games at this ground and the same number of games ended with less than 2.5 goals scored.
The last few meetings between Union Berlin and Augsburg were also not very exciting. The last three all ended with less than 2.5 goals scored and each of the last three at this ground ended in a draw.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

FC Augsburg team news
FC Augsburg defender Maximilian Bauer is a doubt for this week’s trip to the Alte Forsterei this week due to injury.
Maximilian lasted just half an hour in the defeat to VfB Stuttgart last weekend due to injury and may not recover in time for Wednesday’s game with Union Berlin.
Keven Schlotterbeck (thigh), Masaya Okugawa (hamstring), Yusuf Kabadayi (knee) and Mads Pedersen (groin) are all ruled out for this game due to injuries.
