Augsburg
Augsburg suffered a huge debacle last weekend, losing 0-6 at home to RB Leipzig. It was an inexplicable defeat, with them conceding four easy goals in the first half.
Now this cup game is very important for winning and restoring confidence before they face Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga next weekend.
Augsburg have lost four of its last six games and has won just once in its four home games this season (three defeats).
However, they have remained unbeaten in all their last four competitive duels against VfL Bochum since 2023, drawing twice and winning the last two.
VfL Bochum
VfL Bochum are in a very difficult position, sitting second from the bottom in 2.Bundesliga. They have lost 7 of their 10 matches so far, but have shown signs of improvement in recent matches.
VfL Bochum won 3-2 against Hertha Berlin and drew 1-1 against Holstein Kiel in their last two games. That gives them some confidence, but they are still not very convincing.
Their 10 games so far ended with 30 goals scored, most of them in their net, so they are never a reliable defensive side.
Also, a thing to keep in mind is that VfL Bochum were absolutely terrible away from home this season – they lost five in a row on the road before drawing against Holstein Kiel last weekend.
The Betting Verdict
Augsburg was humiliated last weekend, so they need a bounce-back win. Their way of play last weekend was unacceptable, made angry everyone in the club, so a proper response is now expected.
Considering how poor VfL Bochum has been on the road this season (haven’t registered a single away win), Augsburg should win this match at fair odds.
