NURNBERG v AUGSBURG PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

This is a match between two sides that are both in the bottom five of the league after seven matches. Nurnberg are two places and the same number of points above their opponents at the weekend. Matches involving these sides this season to date have produced on average marginally more than 2.5 goals per game. Last season Wolfsburg won just two more points than Nurnberg so this looks like an evenly matched contest. The average number of goals in these sides’ matches last season averaged slightly more than 2.5 per game.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Nurnberg were comprehensively beaten 3-0 by Freiburg in their last matche, despite having 60% of possession. That figure suggests they struggle to convert dominance into goal-scoring opportunities and they had just four shots on target against Freiburg. Home advantage should help them enjoy more than a half share of possession but that will be mainly in midfield and not the attacking third. Augsburg had just 35% of the ball in beating Werder Bremen so conversely they were highly efficient in turning possession into goal scoring opportunities. No Nurnberg player has scored more than one goal this season while a key player for Augsburg is midfielder Tobias Werner.

NURNBERG - AUGSBURG PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

On current form and results from last season there is little between these sides in terms of ability and a draw is the most likely outcome. Nurnberg have failed to win in three home matches this season and they are unlikely to improve on that record at the weekend. Augsburg have not won any of their three away matches played this season to date but should be able to secure a point against a side who are not of significant better ability.

Back the draw at 3.55 with Pinnacle Sports.

NURNBERG - AUGSBURG PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

Nurnberg’s three home matches have produced seven goals while Augsburg’s same number of matches on the road have seen an average of two per game. This is a match involving two sides playing average football so a low-scoring daw and less then three goals looks the best option.

Stan James offer 1.9 for less than three goals.
