Wolfsburg vs Augsburg Prediction 21 February 2026
🔊 Could Wolfsburg find themselves in the relegation zone? It's entirely possible if they drop points in their home clash with Augsburg in the 23rd round. The Wolves haven't beaten Augsburg since 2021. Wolfsburg struggle to secure points at home, having won just two of their 11 matches. However, Augsburg also face significant challenges on the road. Therefore, we anticipate goals from both sides and will explain why this scenario seems the most likely.
Head-to-Head
📊 In the first round, Augsburg defeated Wolfsburg at home with a 3-1 scoreline. The "Fuggers" have been unbeaten against the "Wolves" for eight matches now, securing five wins and three draws during this period. The last time Wolfsburg triumphed over Augsburg was in November 2021, with a 1-0 victory at home.
Head-to-head statistics Wolfsburg - Augsburg
Wolfsburg Team Overview
🟢 A draw in the away match against Leipzig (2-2) marked the first time this season that Wolfsburg managed to take points from a top-six team. However, this is only the second point the Wolves have secured in five matches of the second half of the season. Daniel Bauer's side took the lead twice through goals from Amoura and Svanberg but conceded the equalizer in the 89th minute.
⚪ After 22 rounds, Wolfsburg trail Augsburg by five points and are just one point above the relegation zone. The Lower Saxony club are winless in five consecutive matches (2 draws, 3 losses) and sit in 15th place with a goal difference of 31:46. Dropping more points could see them fall even further down the table.

Augsburg Team Overview
🔴 This past weekend, Augsburg secured a 1-0 victory over Heidenheim, courtesy of a penalty goal by Alexis Claude-Maurice. This marks the Fuggerstädter's third win in their last four matches, and Manuel Baum's side now sit six points clear of the relegation zone. However, their away form remains a concern, with just two wins in ten matches and seven losses.
🟢 Baum's squad has collected 10 points in the first five matches of the second half of the season (3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss). This tally matches that of Bayern Munich, Stuttgart, and Bayer Leverkusen. The last time Augsburg started the second half of a season this successfully was 12 years ago, during the 2013/14 campaign.

Wolfsburg
🎙️ Wolfsburg's assistant coach Tobias Holm on the match against Augsburg: "Under Manuel Baum, Augsburg have significantly stabilized their play, collecting 10 out of a possible 15 points in the second half of the season, including a commendable result in Munich. They are a tough opponent, playing with great structure, working hard off the ball, and frequently utilizing long passes. We know exactly what to expect. It's going to be a fierce battle until the very end."
❌ Wolfsburg's injury list remains extensive: Clayton, Lindstrøm, Fischer, Dárdai, Mele, Rogério, Selt, Wimmer, and Wind are unavailable.
Augsburg
🎙️ Manuel Baum on the match against Wolfsburg: "Wolfsburg have great individual talent. They might have lost their way a bit in the current standings, but we need to stay fully focused and aim to beat them as a team."
❌ Central defenders Jeffrey Gouweleeuw and Chrislain Matsima remain in recovery from injuries.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Daniel Schlager is set to officiate the match. Over his last 10 games, he has averaged 4.7 yellow cards per match. The "Wolves" players typically receive 1.9 cautions per game, while the "Fuggers" average 2.5 and are among the league's most aggressive teams. We're considering over 3.5 yellow cards, a bet that has hit in 6 of the last 8 head-to-head encounters.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Wolfsburg seldom secures victories, even at home, but they consistently create chances-it's often their finishing that lets them down, not the number of attacks. The "Wolves" do find the net, albeit not prolifically, and more frequently in the second half. Thus, it's reasonable to back a Wolfsburg goal after the break, as this has occurred in seven of their home matches.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Wolfsburg rank last in the league for average corners per match (3.7), while Augsburg stands slightly better at 4.4. With the expectation of home dominance in play, we opt for Augsburg's individual total under 5.5 corners. This outcome has been seen in 6 of the Bavarians' last 7 league matches.
Editor's Prediction
This is a crucial match for both teams, where playing defensively won't suffice-they need all three points. Wolfsburg are perilously close to the relegation zone and are struggling defensively, having conceded 46 goals-one of the worst records in the league. Augsburg appear more stable and are certainly capable of scoring, especially since the "Fuggers" haven't lost to the "Wolves" in several years.
The primary bet is on both teams to score (yes). This bet has landed in 13 of Wolfsburg's last 14 Bundesliga matches and in six of their last seven head-to-head encounters with Augsburg. However, we also consider that buoyed by their draw in Leipzig, the "Wolves" might just break their poor run and clinch a win-2-1.
