FC Augsburg vs 1. FC Union Berlin Prediction & Preview
- FC Union Berlin won 4-0 against FC Augsburg when the two last met, in Berlin on 16 May 2026, and that scoreline sits oddly against almost everything Union have done since.

What the 4-0 in Berlin tells you about Saturday
The 4-0 came 161 days before this meeting, with 1. FC Union Berlin at home, and it is the only guide either side has to how these two match up in the Bundesliga. Treat it carefully. Union have not scored two or more in any of their last six, so a four-goal afternoon is not something they have repeated.
What the result does say is that Augsburg can be taken apart when the game opens up, and Manuel Baum's side still play that way. All six of their most recent matches produced three or more goals. All six saw Augsburg score at least twice. Five of the six finished with both sides on the scoresheet.
Where FC Augsburg and 1. FC Union Berlin differ now
Augsburg have 8 points from their last six, Union Berlin 7, and the two sides got there by completely different routes. Augsburg scored 16 and conceded 12. Union scored 3 and conceded 14.
Union's recent run splits in half. Three clean sheets, three games without a goal of their own. Mauro Lustrinelli's side held Borussia Dortmund to a 0-0 at home 7 days before this fixture and beat SV 07 Elversberg 1-0 at home the week before that, but earlier came a 0-7 defeat away to FC Bayern München, a 1-3 home loss to FC Schalke 04 and a 0-4 away defeat at Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
Augsburg are the opposite problem. They lost 3-4 away to Elversberg 7 days out from Saturday, drew 2-2 at home with Bayern before it, and have conceded two or more in four of their last six. They also have a 4-1 away win at Eintracht Frankfurt and a 3-0 home win over Schalke in that run. Nothing about an Augsburg game stays quiet.
Home form is the one thing neither can lean on: Augsburg have won 1 of 3 at home, Union 1 of 3 away.
Team news
Augsburg are without defender Noahkai Banks, who damaged the lateral ligament in his right knee on Germany Under-21 duty - Baum said he would be treated conservatively and that "it will certainly take another 2-4 weeks before he is fit to play again" RotoWire, with the club confirming he left the camp to recover in Augsburg FC Augsburg; Mert Komur left training early on Tuesday after twisting an ankle, though the early read is that it is not serious RotoWire. For Union Berlin, Livan Burcu RotoWire and Oliver Burke RotoWire both sat out the Dortmund draw through illness.
FC Augsburg vs 1. FC Union Berlin prediction
Our prediction is a 2-1 FC Augsburg win over 1. FC Union Berlin in the Bundesliga at the WWK Arena on Saturday 24 October 2026. Augsburg have scored at least twice in every one of their last six matches, and Union have not managed two in any of theirs.
The caveat is Augsburg's defending, which has leaked two or more in four of the last six and is the reason the scoreline here is not a clean sheet. Union are capable of keeping this tight - they have three clean sheets in that same stretch - but a side with 3 goals in six needs more than organisation to win away from home.
Our prediction: FC Augsburg 2-1 1. FC Union Berlin
