FC Augsburg vs Union Berlin Prediction - Oct 24, 2026

FC Augsburg vs Union Berlin Prediction and Betting Preview

Our FC Augsburg vs Union Berlin Prediction looks ahead to Saturday’s Bundesliga match at the WWK Arena. Kick-off is scheduled for 14:30 GMT on October 24, 2026, with Augsburg hoping to turn home advantage into three important points.

Form, standings and recent signs

Augsburg enter Matchday 7 in 10th place with eight points. Their recent results have been mixed, but a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich on October 10 showed what Manuel Baum’s side can produce. Bayern started that game at betting odds of just 1.19, so Augsburg’s performance was a major surprise. A narrow 4-3 defeat away to Elversberg followed, underlining both their attacking threat and defensive weakness.

The hosts have drawn two of their previous three league games at the WWK Arena. Baum, whose contract now runs until 2028, wants the same sharp approach displayed against Bayern. His team normally averages close to 41% possession, yet it can be dangerous through quick transitions, counter-attacks and set pieces. Augsburg do not always control the ball, but they often know what to do with it when space appears.

Union Berlin sit 17th with five points, although their latest performance brought some encouragement. Mauro Lustrinelli’s team held Borussia Dortmund to a 0-0 draw on October 17 despite pre-match odds of 6.10 on Union. It was a second consecutive clean sheet and another display of defensive discipline. The concern is their away form: Union have lost their last two league matches on the road.

Lustrinelli is rebuilding a side that relied on back-five systems for several years. The process may require patience, particularly with a long injury list. Frederik Rønnow, Janik Haberer, Robert Skov, Matheo Raab, Stanley Nsoki and several others have fitness concerns, while Derrick Köhn is suspended. Augsburg are missing Arijon Ibrahimović, Tim Breithaupt, Reece Oxford and Steve Mounié. Finn Dahmen has trained alone, but he is expected to remain available.

Head to head and squad value

The latest head to head meeting finished 1-1 on January 15, 2026. Augsburg were priced at 2.67 that day, compared with Union at 2.95. Another competitive contest is possible, although the squad values point toward the hosts: Augsburg are valued at approximately €192.00 million, while Union’s squad is worth €111.97 million.
