This season, the Billy Goats have had a mixed record, and they have recently had trouble finding their form. In their most recent league game, Borussia Monchengladbach defeated them 5-2. Steffen Baumgart’s team fell 2-0 at Partizan in the UEFA Europa League midweek after Florian Kainz was sent off in the first half.
In contrast, Augsburg’s season got off to a slow start but has gained up steam recently, slowly moving up the standings. In their final league game, they drew 1-1 with struggling Wolfsburg. Early in the second half, Robert Gumny equalised with his first goal of the year.

Augsburg vs. Koln Prediction
After losing just one of their previous nine games, Koln has dropped three straight games. However, they have won two of their past three games played at home, so they will want to take full advantage of that.
Meanwhile, Augsburg has gone four league games without a loss. They should earn all possible points since they are in considerably better shape than their weekend opponents.
Koln 1-2 Augsburg is the prediction.
