Preview
Promoted Elversberg host Augsburg with both sides level on form and close in the table: Augsburg sixth on eight points, Elversberg ninth on seven. Elversberg lost 1-0 at Union Berlin last weekend, and defender Luis Seifert remains out with a torn syndesmosis. At home they have scored and conceded two goals a game on average. Augsburg drew 2-2 with Bayern Munich, with Rodrigo Ribeiro on the scoresheet. They have scored three goals a game on their travels and conceded two. Centre-back Noahkai Banks is out for several weeks with a knee ligament injury, so young loanee Juma Bah keeps his place. Marius Wolf was due back in training on Wednesday after an infection, Arijon Ibrahimović missed Tuesday's session through illness, and goalkeeper Finn Dahmen worked alone on Tuesday but is expected to be available. The bookmakers can barely split the teams for the result. Goals are the clearer read: two open sides and a reshaped Augsburg back line. We rate over 2.5 goals at 67% and both teams scoring at 82%.
Both teams score and concede freely, and Augsburg are without centre-back Banks. Our surest pick is over 2.5 goals at 1.44, rated at 67%.
