Prediction
Bayer Leverkusen 1, FC Augsburg 0
Money line (ML)
BAYER LEVERKUSEN (-167) has posted draws in three of its four matches to date, but it hasn’t scored more than one goal in any match. In fact, it has just three goals scored and two conceded, so it isn’t expected to suddenly have an offensive explosion. Augsburg (+375) is in the same boat, scoring five and allowing three. Look for a defensive slog at BayArena.
New to sports betting? A winning $10 bet on Bayer Leverkusen returns $5.99, while a winning $10 bet on FC Augsburg fetches a profit of $37.50. A $10 bet on a draw (+325) returns a profit of $32.50.
Over/Under (O/U)
The line is set at 3.5 (O: +130, U: -182), but I’m going with the alternate line of UNDER 2.5 (+140) as it’s worth a roll of the dice at plus-money. Leverkusen is averaging 0.8 goals per match, while Augsburg has been slightly better at 1.25 per outing. Between the two sides, they have conceded a total of three goals in eight matches. Expect defense, and a lot of it.
