FC Union Berlin come into this with a mixed recent run, but their home draw with FC Köln and away win at FSV Mainz 05 show they can still compete when they get their structure right. FC Augsburg have been the more consistent side in the short term, with three wins and two draws in their last five league matches, and that gives them a stronger base going into this trip.
The head-to-head also points to a fairly open contest, with the last five meetings producing a win each and three draws, so there is not much between the sides on recent evidence. With no xG data available, the clearest angle is form and the predicted line-ups, and Augsburg’s recent results suggest they may edge a tight game. Match Prediction: FC Union Berlin 1-2 FC Augsburg
Form Guide & Team Overview
FC Union Berlin
FC Union Berlin’s recent league form has been uneven, with one win, one draw and three defeats in their last five. The 3-1 away win over FSV Mainz 05 stands out, but it sits alongside home and away losses to RB Leipzig, VfL Wolfsburg and Heidenheim, which shows they have struggled for consistency.
Their 2-2 home draw with FC Köln was a better result, but overall the numbers point to a side that has been conceding too often to control matches. That makes their home advantage important here, especially against an Augsburg side arriving with better momentum.

FC Augsburg
FC Augsburg have put together a stronger recent run, taking three wins and two draws from their last five league matches. The wins over Borussia Mönchengladbach, Werder Bremen and Bayer 04 Leverkusen show they have been effective both at home and away.
They have also avoided defeat in their last five, which is a clear contrast to Union Berlin’s more stop-start sequence. That kind of consistency is useful in betting terms, particularly when they are being asked to travel and still carry a threat.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
FC Union Berlin (4-2-3-1)
Predicted lineup: Carl Klaus (Goalkeeper), Christopher Trimmel (Defender), Danilho Doekhi (Defender), Diogo Leite (Defender), Tom Rothe (Defender), Aljoscha Kemlein (Midfielder), Ilyas Ansah (Midfielder), Livan Burcu (Midfielder), Oliver Burke (Midfielder), Rani Khedira (Midfielder), Andrej Ilic (Attacker)
FC Union Berlin’s predicted 4-2-3-1 should give them a solid base, with two central midfielders helping protect the back four and keep the shape compact. The system also leaves Andrej Ilic as the main focal point up front, so their attacking output may depend on how well the wide and central support gets him into useful positions.
FC Augsburg (3-4-2-1)
Predicted lineup: Finn Dahmen (Goalkeeper), Chrislain Matsima (Defender), Cédric Zesiger (Defender), Jeffrey Gouweleeuw (Defender), Dimitrios Giannoulis (Midfielder), Fabian Rieder (Midfielder), Kristijan Jakic (Midfielder), Marius Wolf (Midfielder), Anton Kade (Attacker), Mert Kömür (Attacker), Michael Gregoritsch (Attacker)
FC Augsburg’s predicted 3-4-2-1 gives them a strong central spine and allows the wing-backs to provide width without losing numbers in the middle. With two players operating behind the striker, they should be able to support Michael Gregoritsch and create overloads between the lines.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
| FC Union Berlin | FC Augsburg | Key Battle Overview |
|---|---|---|
| FC Union Berlin | FC Augsburg | Andrej Ilic will need to find space against Chrislain Matsima, and that duel could decide whether Union can turn possession into clear chances. |
| FC Union Berlin | FC Augsburg | Aljoscha Kemlein’s work in midfield will be important against Dimitrios Giannoulis, especially if Union need to stop Augsburg building down the left. |
| FC Union Berlin | FC Augsburg | Andrej Ilic is key for FC Union Berlin because he is the main attacking reference in the predicted shape and the side will need him to finish moves. |
| FC Union Berlin | FC Augsburg | Anton Kade is key for FC Augsburg because he has been included in both recent line-ups and the predicted XI, showing he is trusted in the attacking structure. |
