Bundesliga 9th matchday, Saturday, 02.11.2024 at 3:30 pm
First cup, then league routine – an exhausting week for our Bundesliga clubs!
I am now dealing with two clubs that themselves do not know exactly where they stand. No question about it, I have a lot of work to do in my Wolfsburg Augsburg tip.
Both teams are not satisfied with their start to the season, especially defensively, they have a lot of catching up to do.
That is precisely the main reason for my betting selection, because I think it is very likely that today’s game will crack the 2.5 hits.
Especially the Augsburg results speak for it, especially since the Fuggerstädter like to come under the wheels away from home. Funny: For the third time in a row, we face this duel in the 9th round, which seems to be becoming a real tradition.
The Wolfsburg Augsburg odds of the bookmakers suggest that it could be close. Although the home side are ahead, the average values of 1.95 to 3.60 show that an away win would not be a sensation either.
Two dissatisfied teams, interesting results in recent years, an away weakness and a lot of pressure – I can already promise you that my Wolfsburg Augsburg analysis will definitely not be boring!
The forecast of the bookmakers?
A win for VfL Wolfsburg is still a rarity this season. At least the bookmakers are still optimistic enough to send the Lower Saxony team into the game as favorites in the Wolfsburg Augsburg betting tip, with the odds of winning remaining just under 2.00.
Augsburg is a very welcome opponent for any club away from home. The Bavarian Swabians can probably live with average odds of 3.60.
Four of the last seven direct duels on Wolfsburg soil have ended without a winner. Very interesting for those who want to bet on a draw. Odds of 3.70 are due if you see a point for both.
AI prediction Wolfsburg vs Augsburg: ChatGPT is betting on this
Of course, ChatGPT is also ready for this ninth matchday in the Bundesliga. For the game between Wolfsburg and Augsburg, I had the AI create three very interesting bets for me.
First, let’s take a look at the tip that implies a high risk. And that is: Wolfsburg win with a 0-1 handicap. So a clear victory? Since Augsburg lost 0-4 in Heidenheim and 4-0 in Leipzig and Freiburg lost 3-1, I could actually imagine that.
The medium risk this time refers to a pure victory for VfL. Well, since I thought the 0-1 HC was realistic and, as already mentioned, Augsburg is pretty weak away from home, this bet is of course also very possible.
If you want to place a low-risk bet, the “both teams score” option is a good choice in the eyes of the AI. I fully support this bet. Wolfsburg only kept a clean sheet against Kiel and St. Pauli, and FCA often enough gets beaten away from home!
Analysis: Wolfsburg vs Augsburg
Home games? Gladly! Away games? Please not! FC Augsburg seems to be using this strategy again. As much as they like playing in front of their own fans, the less popular traveling is.
The best example: the recent home game against Dortmund, which they managed to win 2:1 despite being behind. Gladbach and St. Pauli were also beaten at home, and then there was the 2:2 against Bremen and finally the 2:3 defeat against Mainz.
The Fuggerstadt team have not yet kept a clean sheet this season, regardless of the venue. Surprising? Definitely not, because this feat was only achieved three times in the entire last season.
It’s all well and good that the team likes to play at home, but unfortunately 50 percent of the time they play away from home, including next Saturday. And away from home, the results look quite different.
Odds analysis
In my opinion, Wolfsburg and Augsburg are on an equal footing, so a close match is more than likely. Therefore, a half-time draw bet could be worthwhile for you, which can be found at Betano at odds of 2.25.
Since VfL has taken the lead in their last two home games and FCA has scored just one goal away from home, I am also betting on a 1-0 win for the Wolves. The odds for this have climbed to 1.70.
If I had to choose an outcome bet, I’d go for a 2-2 draw! I think Wolfsburg is too weak to win, and at the same time I don’t think that Augsburg will score three times away from home. The 2-2 draw has odds of 12.5.
Wolfsburg vs. Augsburg: A top form looks different!
0:4 in Heidenheim, 0:4 against Leipzig and 1:3 against Freiburg, no points on the road, but a lot of goals conceded. The last seven away games have been lost, across two seasons, with the club conceding 24 goals.
The last win outside of Augsburg was in mid-March. Where? As luck would have it, in Wolfsburg, of course! They have not lost to Wolfsburg in five games, and that after not winning eight times in a row.
Two of the last nine matches in the VW Arena ended without a point, and there were four draws. I would therefore like to put it this way: Wolfsburg is neither a favorite nor a bogey team for FC Augsburg.
Will the defense decide the game?
The Fuggerstadt team will not be fresh for the game, but they will be full of confidence from the DFB Cup. They beat Schalke! Wolfsburg, on the other hand, had to play against Dortmund, which was not an easy task.
FCA played at home, and it showed. Schalke were sent home with a 3-0 defeat, with two goals coming very late on. And Wolfsburg? VfL had to work hard for 120 minutes, but they won 1-0 against BVB!
The Lower Saxony club had somehow imagined the Bundesliga to be different. Four defeats, two draws and two wins put them in the lower mid-table, and not in reach of the European Cup, as the club had hoped.
Kiel and Bochum were beaten – the only two clubs still without a win this season. After many spectacular games, the Wolves surprised against St. Pauli – not exactly positively with the 0:0.
Two clean sheets, collected against Kiel and St. Pauli? That’s a bit thin, because these two are the two promoted teams. At home there were three defeats and a draw, you can’t get many fewer points than that.
At this point, I also have to say: Bayern, Frankfurt and Stuttgart, the first three opponents, were more than ungrateful. 2:3, 1:2, 2:2, three crucial goals conceded from minute 82? That was unfortunate.
On the other hand, the 2-4 defeat to Bremen was really weak. Patrick Wimmer was sent off in that game, so he is missing against Augsburg. Two times two goals conceded, once three, once even four? Wild!
If the FCA also scores at least two goals, you can get odds of 2.50 at Winamax and play for the Winamax free bet for this tip.
My Wolfsburg Augsburg Betting Tip:
For VfL Wolfsburg, it can slowly but surely finally go into calmer waters! First, the team conceded an incredible number of goals, then they suddenly played 0-0 against St. Pauli. Nevertheless, defensively, the VfL does not leave a good impression.
A fact that fits the Augsburgers like a fist on the eye. They have not yet played to zero, and in 2023/24 this was only the case three times. Away from home, the Fuggerstadt team has been getting beaten up again and again for months.
The game between Wolfsburg and Augsburg can be quite a spectacle. Taking all the facts into account, I have come to the conclusion that Saturday’s game is not likely to be boring. And that brings me to the following tip:
The 2.5 goals will be exceeded!
