Union falter away from home — can the hosts take advantage: Augsburg vs Union Berlin prediction
The seventh-round Bundesliga clash between Augsburg and Union Berlin will take place on October 24, 2026, at WWK Arena. The hosts sit 10th with eight points, while the visitors are 17th with five points. Augsburg have recently struggled for results but remain unbeaten at home, whereas Union have looked extremely unconvincing on the road so far.
Augsburg: inconsistent results, but the attack is clicking
Manuel Baum's side have collected just two points from their last four league games after winning their opening two matches of the season. In their previous outing, Augsburg lost 4-3 to newcomers Elversberg, conceding twice within the first seven minutes. However, the team looked dangerous going forward once again and extended a run in which they have scored at least two goals in every match this season across all competitions.
Augsburg are still unbeaten at home, although their last two matches on their own turf ended in draws. The 2-2 result against Bayern Munich was particularly impressive. The main problem lies in defense: they have kept just one clean sheet in their last seven home games. Michael Gregoritsch, Anton Kade, and Arijon Ibrahimovic are expected to lead the attack, while Alexis Claude-Maurice remains sidelined.
Union Berlin: points have started to arrive, but away games remain a weakness
Mauro Lustrinelli's side have slightly improved their results, taking four points from their last two league games. Union first beat Elversberg 1-0 before drawing 0-0 with Borussia Dortmund. For a team in the relegation zone, this is an important sign, especially after a run of three consecutive defeats.
However, their away record remains alarming. Union have lost both of their Bundesliga away games this season, failing to score and conceding seven goals. In addition, the team suffered defeats in three of their last four away matches in the previous campaign. Andrija Ilic is a doubt, and if he is unavailable, Jeong Woo-Yeong and Tim Skarke could start up front.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Augsburg are yet to lose at home in the Bundesliga this season.
- Union have lost both of their league away games by an aggregate score of 0-7.
- Union are unbeaten in their last three meetings with Augsburg, recording two wins and one draw.
Union's away problems could prove decisive: Augsburg vs Union Berlin prediction
Union have genuinely improved over the last two rounds, but their away results remain far too poor to suggest that they have made a full recovery. The team not only lose on the road but also create very little danger in attack.
Augsburg are far from perfect defensively as well, but they regularly score at home and are capable of maintaining a high tempo. Given the difference in attacking potential, the hosts look significantly more attractive and should be able to capitalize on their opponents' struggles away from home.
