Augsburg and Bayer Leverkusen will meet again in the Bundesliga Week 17 at the WWK Arena Stadium, Augsburg Saturday, January 13, 2024. Here’s the preview, h2h stats, predicted line-up, TV channel info, live streaming service providers and how to watch online.
Bayer Leverkusen still tops the Bundesliga standings with 42 points. Xabi Alonso’s side have finished the first half of the 2023-2024 season without defeat, a feat that no other team in the league has achieved this season. In fact, they have managed to be 6 points ahead of Bayern Munich, even though they have played one more game.
Xabi Alonso is considered successful in leading Bayer Leverkusen to show an effective and directed game. They have succeeded in creating important moments in matches with their well-structured and organized play. This has helped them achieve impressive stability and seems hard to beat at the moment.
However, despite their impressive away record – unbeaten in their last 12 away games – they must be cautious. While Augsburg may not be the most intimidating opponent, they have shown strength at home, losing just 1 of their last 11 home games.
Augsburg itself has experienced a season full of challenges. They are currently in 11th position in the German Bundesliga standings, with just 4 wins from the 16 games they have played this season. However, strength at home is the mainstay of Jess Thorup’s team, which could be an important factor in the upcoming match.
Based on all the main facts above, Bayer Leverkusen is clearly considered superior to win the opening Bundesliga match in the new year 2024. However, with Augsburg’s strong home record, this match may not be as easy as expected.
By having home advantage, Augsburg is predicted to play carefully and try to take advantage of every mistake made by Bayer Leverkusen at the WWK Arena Stadium, Augsburg.
