Augsburg Double Chance
Augsburg boss Enrico Maaßen has enjoyed a stellar few weeks in the hotseat and the 38-year-old, who was appointed in the summer, has watched his team win three of their last four matches in the Bundesliga. Among their collection of victories was a superb 1-0 win over Bayern Munich and Augsburg’s players should be brimming with confidence at present. Cologne meanwhile, have lost three games on the bounce in all competitions and with the hosts in a bit of a rut, red-hot Augsburg could be an interesting choice in the double chance market.
Under 2.5 Goals
Much of Augsburg’s recent success has been built on a solid defensive platform and they managed to concede one or fewer goals in three of their last four Bundesliga assignments. While goals are still in short supply at the other end, Enrico Maaßen’s troops have been well-organised enough to compensate and we expect margins to be slim again when they visit Cologne on Sunday. Under 2.5 goals has landed in three of Augsburg’s last four matches and we’re tipping this weekend’s skirmish to follow suit.
