Union Berlin will entertain Augsburg at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei in midweek Bundesliga action on Wednesday.
The home team fell to their second loss in their third league game as Bayer Leverkusen inflicted a 5-0 loss on them. With that loss, Union Berlin were displaced from the top of the league table after roughly two months. They will be looking to return to winning ways after that drubbing and will be counting on home advantage here.
Augsburg are winless in their last five games in the Bundesliga and fell to their second defeat in as many games as they were defeated 2-1 at home by Eintracht Frankfurt.
Mergim Berisha scored in the first minute of the game to give Augsburg the lead but Frankfurt scored in either half to overturn the deficit. As they are winless in their last five games, they find themselves in 13th place in the league standings.

Union Berlin vs Augsburg Prediction
Die Eisernen have enjoyed a solid run at home in the Bundesliga and are unlikely to suffer a defeat against Augsburg in this game. They have two clean sheets in six home games and have not conceded more than one goal per game in the league fixtures in that period, so another solid defensive outing is expected from them here.
Fuggerstädter have seen over 2.5 goals in their last five league outings but might struggle to find the back here. Taking into consideration Union Berlin's solid home form and Augsburg's struggles in their recent games, we back the hosts to eke out a narrow win.
