REF’s picks

FC Augsburg travel to face SV 07 Elversberg with solid momentum in the top half, but the hosts are tough to break down on home turf. Backing Augsburg with a +0 handicap provides a sensible cover against a resilient Elversberg side that rarely gets blown out.

1. 1Augsburg sit higher in the table and have shown great attacking resilience recently, scoring twice against heavyweights like Bayern and Leverkusen.
2. 2Elversberg defend compactly at home and will make life difficult, having kept Schalke at bay earlier in the campaign.
3. 3Injuries to key players like Steve Mounié and Tim Breithaupt could blunt Augsburg's usual cutting edge on the road.
