Augsburg and Union Berlin meet at the WWK Arena for the final matchday of the Bundesliga season. Both teams are firmly mid-table, with Augsburg in 11th and Union Berlin in 13th, and neither side faces relegation or has a realistic chance of European qualification. As such, motivation may be limited, but Augsburg could climb to 10th with a win, while Union Berlin aim to maintain their strong record of final-day victories since promotion.

Recent Form

• Augsburg
  • Enter the match on a poor run: three consecutive defeats and winless in four games, scoring just once in that span.
  • Their last outing was a heavy 4-0 defeat to Stuttgart, and they have struggled offensively, failing to score in three of their last four matches.
  • At home, Augsburg have not been prolific, failing to score more than once in their last six home games, but they have kept four clean sheets in their last seven at the WWK Arena.
• Union Berlin
  • Union’s eight-match unbeaten run ended with a 3-0 home loss to Heidenheim last week.
  • Prior to that, they had four consecutive draws and three wins in their last seven matches, securing Bundesliga safety well before the finale.
  • Away from home, Union are on a four-game unbeaten streak, with two wins and two draws, and are aiming for a club-record fifth straight away game without defeat.

Tactical and Statistical Insights
