The home team is currently just two points above the Bundesliga relegation play-off spot after an inconsistent recent run of form in the German top flight.
Enrico Maassen’s team head into this encounter on the back of just one win in their previous ten league matches, having also suffered defeat in three of their last four games in the German top flight.
A leaky defence has posed Augsburg major problems, as they have now conceded at least two goals in seven of their last nine matches in the Bundesliga.
Augsburg has also been poor on home soil of late, winning just two of their previous nine home games in the Bundesliga.
However, a 1-0 win over Monchengladbach in their last home game ended a four-game run without a home win in the Bundesliga.
The visitor's recent revival was rather halted by Dortmund last time out, as Bayer went down to a 2-0 home defeat.
The loss ended a five-game winning run for Xabi Alonso’s team in the Bundesliga while also ending a prolific scoring run, as Bayer had scored at least two goals in all five of their wins in the recent winning run.
Die Werkself are right in the middle of the Bundesliga table, as they are eight points from the European spots but also just eight points clear of the relegation play-off spot too.
Bayer has recorded back-to-back away wins in the Bundesliga after failing to win in their previous four matches on their travels in the German top flight.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Bayer Leverkusen will bounce back to winning ways by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
