Bayer Leverkusen is in 5th place (52 points) and is locked in a fierce battle to qualify for the Champions League spots. Kasper Hjulmand's side enter the match in good spirits after a prestigious 1-0 away victory over Borussia Dortmund. At home, the "pharmacists" are looking confident: 8 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses, with an average goal-scoring rate of 3.36 goals per match at the BayArena.
Augsburg is in 10th place (33 points), but their form is a cause for concern – they have gone 6 matches without a win. Their away record is dismal: just 3 wins, 2 draws, and 9 losses. The visiting defense is conceding an average of 1.93 goals per away match and has not kept a clean sheet in their last 10 away games.
The home team's head-to-head record is strong: Bayer have won four of their last five matches against Augsburg. Despite a 2-0 defeat in the first half, Bayer traditionally dominates at home, winning eight of their last eleven head-to-head matches at the BayArena.
