07 Elversberg vs Augsburg 17 October 2026 Prediction

  Prediction by   Gevorg Danielyan     October 15, 2026 

Elversberg opened their Bundesliga season with two wins, but took just one point from their next three games and dropped into mid-table. Augsburg visit after a 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich. Manuel Baum’s side are sixth with eight points after five rounds.

Elversberg’s Attacking Output Has Dropped

Elversberg’s two opening wins were followed by two losses and a draw. A result against Bayern Munich in Matchday 3 was always going to be difficult, and they lost 2-1. More concerning were a 0-0 draw with Schalke and a 1-0 loss to Union Berlin in their next two games.

Elversberg scored eight goals in their first three league games but failed to score against Schalke or Union Berlin. They generated just 0.24 expected goals (xG) in Berlin, so missed chances are not the only issue. If they fail to score against Augsburg, they will go three consecutive competitive games without a goal for the first time under Vincent Wagner.

Elversberg have several absences. Onyeka, injured while with Germany’s youth national team, has yet to return to training. Wagner expects him back for the following round. Seifert is also out, while Campbell sprained his ankle in training and will miss the Augsburg game. Gyamerah has resumed full training and could replace Luca Sirch at right back after Sirch started against Union Berlin.

Augsburg’s Best-Ever Scoring Start in the Bundesliga

Augsburg also began the league season with two wins before going three games without another victory. They drew 2-2 with both Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, with a 3-2 away loss to Werder Bremen between those results. The defeat in Bremen was the clearest disappointment of the three.

Bayern had the advantage in shots on target (10-5) and xG (4.96-2.37), but Augsburg led twice before conceding the equalizer with 10 minutes left in regulation. Baum’s side have scored at least twice in every Bundesliga game this season. Their 13 goals through five rounds are a club record in the top division.

Banks remains unavailable after injuring the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee while playing for Germany’s youth national team against Malta. The defender had played every minute of Augsburg’s first four league games. Claude-Maurice, Mounié and Suso are also out. Wolf has recovered from illness and is in contention to start, while Ibrahimovic missed only one day of training due to illness.
