Xabi Alonso's system is working well. Schick is responsible for scoring at the forefront, supported by Tillmann and Poku.

Garcia and Maza dominate the midfield, and Tapsoba and Bade lead the defense. Their attacking power, scoring 2.33 goals per game, is a weapon.

Bayer Leverkusen (3-4-3)

• ●GK: Flekken
• ●DF: Andrich, Bade, Tapsoba
• ●MF: Hofmann, Maza, Garcia, Grimaldo
• ●FW: Tillmann, Poku, Schick

The predicted score is 0-2 Leverkusen win. It seems really difficult for Augsburg to score. It's a scenario where Leverkusen wins cleanly with goals from Schick and Tillmann.

Augsburg needs a miracle to get points. Their scoring ability is at rock bottom and their defense is collapsing. It is even more difficult against Leverkusen.

Augsburg is in real crisis. They are getting closer to the relegation zone. If they don't recover their scoring ability, it will be a really tough season.
