Final Prediction

Augsburg holds an edge in this matchup primarily due to their slightly better defensive record and home advantage. While both teams have struggled offensively, Augsburg's higher expected goals suggest they might find the net more effectively. A key factor to watch will be Augsburg's ability to convert their expected goals into actual goals, which could be the deciding factor in this contest.
