| 10th | Position | 17th |
| 8 | Points | 5 |

Augsburg have started the Bundesliga season on a mixed note – winning, drawing and losing two each of their six games so far.
In their previous match, Manuel Baum’s men conceded three within the first half-hour in a 4-3 defeat to newly-promoted Elversberg. The result marked their fourth consecutive winless league outing.
Despite the winless streak, Augsburg boast a higher points tally after six rounds than in any of their previous five Bundesliga campaigns.
A handful of players are missing for Augsburg: Sima Suso, Alexis Claude-Maurice, Noahkai Banks, Tim Breithaupt and Stevie Mounie.
As for Union Berlin, they have six players sidelined. They are Andrik Markgraf, Stanley Nsoki, Andrej Ilic, Josip Juranovic, Oliver Burke and Livan Burcu.
The visitors have avoided defeat in their previous two games since the league season restarted, most recently holding off Borussia Dortmund to a goalless stalemate at home.
They will, however, certainly be nervous of their trip to Bavaria. Die Eisernen are the only team yet to score away from home this term, with back-to-back league losses at Bayer Leverkusen (L4-0) and Bayern Munich (L7-0).
Union Berlin sit in 17th position – only five points separating them and bottom-placed Borussia Monchengladbach.

Whispers predicts: Augsburg 2-1 Union Berlin
According to Bet365, Over 2.5 total goals at 11/20 (1.55) carries significant value. Each of Augsburg’s six Bundesliga games, and four of Union Berlin’s six this term have gone over the mark.
Over 10.5 total corners at 11/10 (2.10) is another worthy bet. Six of Augsburg’s last seven league games produced over 10.5 corners.
Augsburg to win and BTTS – Yes at 2/1 (3.00) is perhaps the pick of the lot, with the hosts in free-scoring home form despite back-to-back draws. Union showed heart in their draw with Dortmund. If they carry their form here, they could break their away duck.
> Augsburg to win and BTTS – Yes at 2/1 (3.00) | Likelihood: Possible
> Over 10.5 total corners at 11/10 (2.10) | Likelihood: Probable
> Over 2.5 total goals at 11/20 (1.55) | Likelihood: Likely
