*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Holstein Kiel have lost six of their last seven Bundesliga fixtures and the strugglers have just a 34.8% chance of bouncing back with a win on Saturday.

Augsburg’s only two defeats in their last six league matches came against Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, and they look like good value at 13/10 to win this weekend. Check out more of our latest football predictions on our dedicated page.

Player to watch – Phillip Tietz

Phillip Tietz has been a key protagonist for Augsburg this season and the attacker has been a reliable performer in two different markets this season and could be a solid bet builder inclusion on Saturday.

Tietz never far from the action

Alongside scoring five goals for Augsburg this season, Tietz has also been booked three times and the 27-year-old has either scored or been cautioned in seven of his last ten outings in the Bundesliga overall.
