Augsburg to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n7\/5 @ Matchbook<\/a>
(41.7%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe\u2019re backing Augsburg to win because they\u2019ve secured victory in 6 of the last 13 meetings with Union Berlin, including 2 of the last 4. Augsburg\u2019s attack has produced more goals (45 to 40) and their shot accuracy (46.6%) is notably stronger. Union Berlin\u2019s leaky defence (58 conceded) makes the away win a value play.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Under 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n13\/8 @ Bet365<\/a>
(38.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here due to both teams\u2019 modest attacking output and history of tight contests. Four of the last six meetings have seen two or fewer goals, and neither side ranks among the Bundesliga\u2019s most prolific attacks. With both averaging under 1.5 goals per game, a low-scoring affair is on the cards.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
