Dusseldorf vs Augsburg Match Preview

Dusseldorf is ranked at 16th place with 29 points and plays a crucial game at home which could decide the fate of their season. While it seems difficult to reach the safe 15th place, the whole thing sums up to which team between them and Werder Bremen is gonna avoid direct relegation be in the playout games.

They come after a win two draws and two losses in the last five matches and surely the draw against Leipzig boosted their confidence. In the last five matches, they have scored six goals averaging at least a goal per game and with all the motivation they will have now I expect a very offensive approach by them as they desperately need to win.

Augsburg, on the other side, is ranked at the 14th place with 35 points and comes after a win two draws and two losses over the last five games. They have already secured the stay in next season's Bundesliga as they are six points ahead of Dusseldorf and have a better goal difference so even if they lose the next two games they are not at risk.

Augsburg have shown a very offensive football this season with 43 goals scored in total, having one of the best offensive performance among the bottom half teams, but they have also conceded many goals, totaling 60. In a duel like this where they have no pressure for the result, I expect them to play an open game and should have their share of scoring chances.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Dusseldorf is the team with the motivation at its highest, as with two rounds remaining they are playing maybe the most important game of the whole season so they will give more than 100%. Augsburg fancy offensive football so despite how this game ends for them, I guess they can find the back of the net at least once as they have done in four of the last five h2h games against Dusseldorf.
