Union Berlin

The 1-3 away win against Mainz was a sigh of relief for Union Berlin. It marked the end of a six-match winless run and was the first win under the first female coach, Marie-Louise Eta.

Union Berlin is now perfectly safe with 36 points, but will likely go for another win in their final game of the season.

Even though Union Berlin collected more points at home (19) than away (17), they failed to win any of their last four home games, losing twice and drawing twice.

Augsburg

Augsburg looked very motivated last week and put on a great display against Borussia Monchengladbach. They won 3-1 and could have scored more.

They stand on 43 points, the same number of points they had after last season. A point here would mark their best season in 11 years, which perhaps will motivate them a little.

Augsburg were more impressive at home compared to away this season, but they raised their game in recent away matches. They are unbeaten in three on the road, winning twice.

The Betting Verdict

It’s a tricky game without any real meaning for either side.

I lean a little more toward Union Berlin here, as they are now more confident after breaking their negative run last week, but Augsburg was impressive in recent games, plays without pressure, and can still be dangerous.

All things considered, take both sides to score in this almost friendly game.

The Pick :

Union Berlin 2-1 Augsburg
