City, Germany – Na this weekend, Augsburg go enter field dey search for miracle when dem face Bayer Leverkusen for WWK Arena on December 6, 2025. Why dem dey search for miracle? Because dem just sack their coach, Sandro Wagner, after e no fit carry dem go better place. Augsburg don lose five of their last six games, as dem dey hussle try find form and stability.
Wetter no too fine for Augsburg side, as dem currently hold di joint-worst defensive record for Bundesliga, holding 27 goals down their neck across just 12 games (chop that for breakfast!). Na only one other team don suffer more league defeats than dem this season. Di fans dey wonder whether dem fit catch new manager bounce under interim coach, Manuel Baum, who be like familiar face na im return to save di day.

Dem even thrashed Heidenheim 6-0, drop Borussia Dortmund for DFB-Pokal, and heroically stacked Manchester City for EPL (who sabi say dem fit perform like this?).
Leverkusen come into dis match with swagger, but dem also get some injury wahala as some players like Exequiel Palacios and Lucas Vazquez go miss di game. Even with dis injuries, dem still strong as e be, and dem no dey look like team wey wan slow down.
As di match dey approach, Augsburg be like team wey dey lose grip. Dem no fit find di right rifts and rhythm; like say dem dey play hot potato with their form. By contrast, Leverkusen dey fire on all cylinders, ready to show dem wetin real football be all about. It be like say dis match get all di makings of a one-sided affair.
For di game, Augsburg go line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, but, na wetin we go see if e go work o. Dem go depend plenty on di likes of Fabian Rieder, who be di club’s top scorer but haven’t don score since last month (no wahala, goals fit come back). Meanwhile, Leverkusen go continue their attacking fluidity under Kasper Hjulmand with dem formation 3-4-2-1 too, led by di sharp striker Patrik Schick.
The expectation for di match na say Leverkusen go dominate—but after all, na football we dey talk. Anything fit happen! Make we just cross body for dem. Who know? Maybe Augsburg go shock di world and bring back a spark! Football don sabi surprise us anytime e wan.
