The league leaders in Germany return to Bundesliga action on Saturday, as Bayer Leverkusen look to extend their advantage at the top of the standings. Augsburg will be the hosts this weekend, as they look to land a shock win against the high-flying visitors.
Before Betting On Augsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen
It has been a sensational first half to the season for Bayer Leverkusen, but their destiny this term will ultimately be determined based on their performances in the second half of the campaign. The German side currently sits four points clear at the top of the standings, and they are the only side across Europe’s top five divisions to boast an unbeaten record.
Augsburg will have the home field advantage this weekend, but a response will be needed after they have lost two of their last three and have gone three without a victory in the Bundesliga. That run of form leaves them sitting eleventh in the standings, but a return to form could move them back into the top half of the standings.
Augsburg landed back-to-back wins against Leverkusen last term, but they have still gained only 0.54 points in their matches against their rivals in the German top-flight. Leverkusen have won 15 of their 24 matches against Augsburg throughout Bundesliga history.
Leverkusen’s dominant run of form at this stage is staggering, as they have gone 25 matches across all competitions without defeat. Only three teams in German history have achieved longer unbeaten sequences to start the season. Meanwhile, they have picked up 42 points from their 16 league matches, making them the quickest starters in Bundesliga history.
