Elversberg vs Augsburg Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 17 October 2026
🔊 Elversberg host Augsburg in the sixth round of the Bundesliga with the two sides heading into the match in contrasting form. The top-flight debutants made a bright start to the season, beating Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Mönchengladbach, but have picked up just one point from their last three matches. Augsburg, meanwhile, have eight points from five games and have already scored 13 goals, showing clear attacking threat. Their defence has also been leaky, though - the visitors have conceded eight - so Elversberg will have chances even against more experienced opposition. The key question is whether Elversberg can return to the bold attacking football that served them so well at the start of the season.
Head-to-head: Augsburg hold a slight edge
📊 The last official meeting between the sides came in the 2015 DFB-Pokal, with Augsburg winning after extra time (3:1). However, that match is too long ago to be treated as the main argument ahead of this fixture: Elversberg's current squad have already shown they are capable of causing problems for clubs with Bundesliga experience.
Head-to-head statistics Elversberg - Augsburg
Elversberg: attacking potential remains, but results have dipped
After five rounds, Elversberg have seven points and a goal difference of 8:8. For a Bundesliga newcomer, that is a decent start, particularly given the level of opposition they have faced. Vincent Wagner's side have already shown they can play with confidence and find space even against more established clubs. However, the last three rounds have brought just one point, and in their two most recent matches the team failed to score at all.
It is telling that Elversberg scored eight goals in their first three matches, then went without a goal against Schalke (0:0) and Union (0:1). This may be connected to opponents becoming more cautious defensively and leaving less space for quick attacks. Against Augsburg, the hosts will need to get the ball into the penalty area more quickly and make more use of the flanks. At the same time, an overly open approach carries risks: the visitors have already scored 13 goals in five rounds and are capable of exploiting mistakes in the transition from attack to defence.

Augsburg: a clinical attack ready to punish any defensive lapses
Augsburg have picked up eight points from five matches and sit in the upper half of the table. The team have scored 13 goals - one of the highest tallies at this stage of the season. Their attacking line regularly creates chances, and the variety of options up front allows the visitors to get results even in matches where the opposition holds the initiative. A draw with Bayern (2:2) in the previous round has given the squad an additional confidence boost.
Augsburg's defence, however, has yet to provide the necessary stability. The team have conceded eight times in five matches, and in the games against Werder and Bayer they repeatedly allowed opponents to equalise after going ahead. Against Elversberg this is particularly relevant: the hosts are capable of transitioning quickly into attack and have already scored three and four goals in a single match. If the visitors fail to reliably control the space between their defensive and midfield lines, the game could turn into an open exchange of chances.

Latest news
07 Elversberg
❌ On the personnel front, it is worth keeping an eye on the fitness of Jan Gyamerah and Francis Onyeka, both of whom missed the previous match against Union.
Augsburg
❌ In the Bundesliga's preliminary squad report, Augsburg's unavailable players are listed as Noahkai Banks, Tim Breithaupt, Alexis Claude-Maurice, Steve Mounie and Faik Sakar. The reasons for their absences vary, from injuries to insufficient match fitness. Marius Wolf missed the Bayern match through illness, and his involvement in the upcoming fixture is also in doubt.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
Both teams favour a fairly aggressive style of play, and the high pace of their attacks can force defenders into fouls when caught out of position. Elversberg will need to contain Augsburg's productive forward line, while the visitors will be keen to prevent the hosts from building momentum on quick breaks. In the first five rounds, however, Elversberg have picked up 9 yellow cards and Augsburg 8 - averages of 1.8 and 1.6 per match respectively.
Prediction: Total Yellow Cards - Under 4.5. The early-season figures give no indication of an unusually high volume of bookings, so there is no strong case for taking an inflated line without further evidence.
⚽ Goals Prediction
Both teams have already shown they can be involved in high-scoring matches, but the visitors have more consistent attacking numbers at this early stage of the season. Augsburg's problem is that even when their attack is functioning well, they regularly allow opponents to create dangerous chances. Elversberg can take advantage of that, particularly with home support behind them.
Prediction: Both Teams to Score - Yes. Augsburg's attacking output and both teams' tendency to concede chances make this the preferable option over other markets. The odds are 1.42*.
🚩 Corner Kick Prediction
In Elversberg's first five matchdays, the total number of corners was 10, 8, 12, 17 and 7. The average is 10.8 per game, and the 8.5-corner mark was exceeded in three of those five matches. The team concede a high number of corners at their own end, which could be particularly significant against a productive Augsburg side.
Prediction: Total Corners - Over 8.5. Elversberg's matches suggest this line is achievable, especially if the visitors manage to spend extended periods in the opposition half. The odds are 1.44*.
*Odds are indicative and may vary between bookmakers.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Elversberg have already shown they can compete with Bundesliga sides, but their last two matches without a goal suggest the newly promoted side's attacking edge has dulled a little. Augsburg come into the game with more convincing scoring form and, following their draw with Bayern, can look to extend a positive run. That said, the visitors concede regularly enough for the hosts to get on the scoresheet as well. Final pick: Total Goals - Over 3. Correct score prediction: 2:2.
