For the 19th matchday of the German Bundesliga, Augsburg welcomes Bayer Leverkusen to the WWW Arena.
Augsburg battled it out last week at home to Freiburg but couldn't avoid a 3-1 defeat. However, based on her image, the result is unfair to her as she deserved something better, having several opportunities for more goals. He fell behind in the score at 13', answered in the 29', but in the very next phase he conceded a second goal and went to the locker room behind in the score. In the replay, he created phases to equalize but did not succeed, to finally concede a third goal in the 85th minute and unfortunately did not get anything from the match.
Thus Augsburg remained at 18 points and is in 14th place in the standings, just plus 2 from 16th place leading into the qualification matches to stay in the division.
Leverkusen succumbed to Dortmund's superiority when they hosted them at the BayArena the previous matchday and were soundly beaten 2-0. She could have had a better result but she proved to be ineffective in the phases she created, unlike her opponent who in the few phases she did score a goal in each half and took the three points.
This was Leverkusen's first defeat after a 5 game winning streak, at the end of the match he found her in 9nd place with 24 points and in minus 9 from the 6th and last place that gives a European ticket.
Although Augsburg has been finding it difficult to win lately, it scores easily while being quite competitive at home. Leverkusen, for their part, despite last week's defeat, look improved after the change in their bench and are looking to get back to winning ways tonight. I think we will have an interesting match with a fast pace and many phases.
