Elversberg and FC Augsburg have met many times and almost every match ended level. The most recent, in Aug 15, finished 1-1. This time both come into the game in the same league with similar form, and only two points separate them in the table, so any result would not be a surprise. Elversberg opened the league season with wins in their first two matches in entertaining 3-2 and 4-3 games, before stumbling with a 1-2 defeat and then keeping a 0-0 clean sheet in the next match. However, over the last five matches they have scored 8 and conceded 8, reflecting that the attack works but the defence is not yet steady. FC Augsburg, meanwhile, have scored as many as 13 goals in five matches, but have also conceded 8, and they have not beaten anyone in four matches in a row after three straight 2-2 draws. This game should be open from the start, because both teams score and concede at similar rates. Elversberg, playing at home, should control the tempo and push forward, while FC Augsburg should wait to counter into the space the hosts leave behind, which is the point that keeps these games close.
