In order to reach the Round of 16, Karlsruher had to get past Sportfreunde Lotte and Offenbach Kickers. However, compared to these teams, Augsburg are a bigger fish to fry.
The Bundesliga outfit won four of their last seven matches in all competitions, losing only once in that seven-game stretch.
On that note, Augsburg are the expected winners at 6/5 (2.20). Teams with these odds usually have a 45.5% probability of winning.
