Augsburg
In the last round, Jess Thorup's side suffered a 0-3 defeat against Bayern Munich. This loss ended Augsburg's unbeaten streak of three matches in the Bundesliga (1 win, 2 draws). By the 12th round, the team is in 14th place in the standings, with a four-point gap from the relegation playoff zone.
- Augsburg has not lost in 5 of their last 6 home matches in the Bundesliga (3 wins, 2 draws).
- The club has scored at least twice in 5 of their last 6 home matches in the German championship.
- At least three goals have been scored in 10 of Augsburg's last 12 Bundesliga matches.
Bochum
In the 11th round, Dieter Hecking's side lost 0-2 to Stuttgart. Bochum remains the only team in the 2024/25 Bundesliga yet to secure a victory (2 draws, 9 losses). Due to these disappointing results, the club is at the bottom of the standings, six points away from the relegation playoff zone.
- The team has conceded at least two goals in 9 of their last 10 matches in the German championship.
- At least 3 goals have been scored in 7 of Bochum's last 9 matches in this tournament.
- The club has lost their last 7 away matches in the Bundesliga.
Augsburg vs. Bochum: Match Prediction
Jess Thorup's side plays open football at home in the 2024/25 Bundesliga: they score against opponents and concede in return. Both teams have scored in 5 of Augsburg's last 6 matches at the WWK Arena in the championship. In these six matches, the club managed to score even against a strong team like Borussia Dortmund (2-1), but also conceded to the league's outsider, St. Pauli (3-1).
Bochum is at the bottom of the standings and concedes the most in the championship, but in away matches, the team does not hide on their half of the field and tries to attack and score. As a result, both opponents have scored in 6 of the club's last 8 away matches in the Bundesliga. During this period, Bochum mainly played against teams from the upper part of the table and scored against Freiburg (1-2), Borussia Dortmund (2-4), and Eintracht (2-7).
It is also worth noting that Augsburg and Bochum have exchanged goals in their last three Bundesliga meetings. I believe the upcoming game will continue this trend, so my prediction: Both teams to score – yes
