Augsburg form and stats

The story so far in the Bundesliga for Augsburg at their home stadium (WWK Arena) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

Augsburg are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Hoffenheim. In the match before that, Augsburg hosted Freiburg and drew the game 1-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Augsburg have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won one time, drawn two and lost one.

The manager H. Herrlich will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Arminia Bielefeld in only three days.

Augsburg are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 5 games. On the other hand, Augsburg have conceded 7 goals.

Schalke 04 form and stats

Playing away, Schalke 04, who have the fewest scored goals (6) in Bundesliga, have won 0 games, drawn 1 and suffered 4 defeats in the Bundesliga this season. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Schalke, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Bayern München game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Schalke's previous game was their home loss versus Bayer Leverkusen (0-3). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Borussia M'gladbach wasn't a success with a 1-4 loss.

Schalke goalkeeper Michael Langer had a great day against Bayer Leverkusen, but despite making seven saves the loss could not be avoided.

We have checked recent matches where Schalke have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those seven games were zero victories, three draws and four defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Schalke are hosting Freiburg in the Bundesliga only three days away.

The visitors have scored 3 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Schalke 04 can't defend away. 21 goals have been scored by the opposition in 5 matches, an average of more than three per game. You might want to look at the total goal statistics, which can be found on the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Augsburg two wins, four draws and Schalke 04 four victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
