Bayer and Augsburg will sort things out in the 2nd round of the German Championship. We consider the form of the teams and give a forecast.
"Bayer"
Last season, Bayer finished in third place, winning a ticket to the group stage of the Champions League. In the final four matches, the Leverkusen club won four victories in a row, but it was not possible to extend the winning streak in the new season. In the opening round, Bayer suffered a minimal defeat from Borussia Dortmund (0-1), which was the second in a row, since the Leverkusen team lost 3-4 to Elfsberg in the 1/32 finals of the German Cup earlier in the match.
Augsburg
Augsburg also managed to hold two official matches, and each of them ended with a score of 4-0. But if Augsburg won in the first of them, leaving no chance for Lone in the 1/32 finals of the German Cup, then in the second he himself found himself in the role of the loser, having failed to resist Freiburg. In the previous championship, Augsburg struggled for survival, and the quality of the game in the first round hints at the same thing in the new season.
Statistics and figures:
- Bayer lost in the opening round to Borussia Dortmund (0-1);
- Augsburg lost in the first round to Freiburg (0-4);
- Bayer has not lost to Augsburg yet - 16 wins and 7 draws.
Forecast
In the first round, Bayer played much better, and this despite the fact that Borussia Dortmund were his rivals. After the defeat, and even on their own field, Bayer should win the first victory of the season over Augsburg, which is still far from optimal conditions.
