Augsburg vs Grasshopper Prediction and Betting Tips | 10th December 2022

Augsburg will host Grasshopper at TBC in an club friendly on Saturday.

Augsburg vs Grasshopper Preview

The two sides will use the clash to keep in shape during the FIFA World Cup break, which is drawing to a close. Augsburg come into the game on the back of three defeats and two draws, sitting deep in the Bundesliga’s 14th spot. They have won four out of 15 matches while losing eight and drawing three.

The two teams are meeting each other for the first time. Fuggerstädter coach Enrico Maaßen is hoping to revitalize his team and get them out of the current rut. Augsburg placed 14th out of 18 teams last term and could face a similar fate this season, with about half of the campaign already spent.

Grasshopper are eying a spot in the Swiss Super League top four, which comes with a ticket to the qualifying round of a UEFA competition. They sit seventh, with 20 points – three shy of fourth-placed Lugano. The Hoppers went for the break on the back of two successive wins and will hope to maintain that fire upon their return.

They will sideline a couple of players, including Francis Momoh and Florian Hoxha, but theirs will be a drop in the bucket compared to Augsburg. Coach Maaßen will need to retool his roster following injuries to up to 10 players. He will likely conduct a test run of his new game plan considering the team’s injury crisis.

Augsburg vs Grasshopper Prediction

Despite Augsburg’s injury woes, they still boast an eye-catching frontline, with Niederlechner, Mergim Berisha and of course, Demirovic, set to lead the chase.

Grasshopper appear to be in better shape than the hosts but Giorgio Contini and his charges need to confirm they are as good away from home.

Augsburg are expected to claim a slim victory due to their determination to break their winless cycle.

Prediction: Augsburg 2-1 Grasshopper
