German Bundesliga
2026-10-17 - SV Elversberg vs Augsburg
A Sports Betting Pick by Niko
Football; Germany: Bundesliga
Ursapharm Arena – Elversberg
Saturday, 17th October 2026 - kickoff 15:30 CET
SV Elversberg
SV Elversberg have shown they can compete with the big sides. They beat Bayer Leverkusen 3-2 at home and lost only 1-2 to Bayern Munich. But they have taken just one point from their last three Bundesliga games and need to get back on track.
SV Elversberg can cause problems going forward, but they need to turn good spells into more goals. Jan Gyamerah and Francis Onyeka are doubts, while Tom Zimmerschied remains out.
Augsburg
Augsburg have scored 13 goals in five Bundesliga games and sit sixth with eight points. Last weekend, they held Bayern Munich to a 2-2 draw after Robin Fellhauer scored the fastest goal in Bundesliga history, finding the net after just 8.4 seconds.
A win would take Augsburg to 11 points and match their best Bundesliga return after six games.
Manuel Baum has called for the same sharpness his team showed against Bayern Munich. Marius Wolf is fit again, but Noahkai Banks, Alexis Claude-Maurice and Steve Mounié remain out.
The Betting Verdict
Augsburg have the better scoring record, but SV Elversberg have shown they can hurt top sides at home. I would not write off the hosts, especially with Augsburg missing a few players.
Still, I lean towards FC Augsburg to win. Their attack has been productive so far, and they have enough options to trouble a defense that has struggled in recent weeks.
However, will add the draw as protection, so take Augsburg on a double chance bet
