*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
An injury-stricken Augsburg were beaten 3-1 at Hoffenheim last weekend, though back on home soil, where they have lost just twice in ten assignments, their chances look better and the bookies have given them a 48.8% chance of beating Union Berlin.
The visitors lost 1-0 at home to champions-elect Bayer Leverkusen last time out and they continue to toil in the lower reaches of the division. They have a poor record against Augsburg in recent campaigns and our football tips recommend opposing them again here.

Player to watch – Ermedin Demirovic
Augsburg’s leading marksman Ermedin Demirovic made a welcome return to the XI at the weekend following a brief suspension and true to character, the Bosnian managed to find the net in a game that Die Fuggerstädter eventually lost three one.
Demirovic has been a consistent goal getter
25-year-old Demirovic has already scored 15 times in the Bundesliga this season, making him Augsburg’s leading scorer in the division by a distance. The influential forward has also provided eight assists for his teammates during a sparkling campaign and Demirovic could be a useful anytime goalscorer inclusion again this week.
