SG Sonnenhof Grossaspach vs FC Augsburg Prediction

I'm backing both teams to score when Sonnenhof Großaspach host Augsburg in the DFB Pokal second round on 27 October 2026 at 20:00. Großaspach sit in the third tier and just earned promotion this season, but they've shown real character in cup competition—they drew 2-2 with Arminia Bielefeld before winning on penalties in the first round. That's the kind of performance that gives me confidence they'll create chances here. The problem for them is form: one win in their last seven matches and a 7-1 hammering by Wehen at the weekend. But here's what matters for my pick—they've scored in eight consecutive matches. That's a genuine streak, not a fluke.

Augsburg are the heavy favorites and for good reason. They're a Bundesliga side with far superior squad depth, and they've been ruthless in cup play this season: 2-0 over Cottbus, 3-0 over Schalke, 4-1 over Frankfurt. I'll note they're winless in their last five matches across all competitions, but that's partly because they've rotated heavily. Away from home this season they've scored 11 goals in four matches. The gap in quality is real, and I expect Augsburg to dominate possession and territory. But Großaspach's scoring streak combined with Augsburg's defensive inconsistency in recent weeks makes both teams finding the net a strong play.

Form and H2H

My read on the numbers: Großaspach have averaged 1.30 goals for and 2.41 against over their last ten matches. That's a team that creates but leaks chances. I'm interested in their profit trend on goals—they've lost money on Over 1.5 and Under 1.5, which tells me backers have been split on their output. The eight-match scoring streak is the outlier that matters most to me.

Augsburg's away form is where I see the edge. They've averaged 2.10 goals for and 1.90 against in their last ten. Their profit trend on Team Total Over 1.5 is positive at 6.53, meaning they've consistently delivered multiple goals on the road. Even in their winless run, they're still creating. I'm not expecting a high-scoring game overall, but I am expecting both sides to find the net.

Best bet

I'm taking Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.65 on 1xBet. Großaspach have scored in eight straight matches and will be fully motivated at home in a cup tie. Augsburg have been prolific away from home all season and should have enough quality to break through a third-tier defense, even if they're not in peak form. The 1.65 price reflects genuine uncertainty, but I think the evidence supports both sides scoring here. I'll stake accordingly on that line.

Odds to watch

I'm monitoring the match result market closely. Augsburg are favorites at 1.30 for the away win, which I think underestimates Großaspach's cup pedigree and home advantage. The draw sits at 5.75, and I see value there if the hosts can stay compact and hit on the counter. I'm also watching Over 2.5 at 1.35—that's a short price, and I'd rather take both teams to score at 1.65 than chase a three-goal game. Under 2.5 at 2.74 is interesting if Augsburg's recent defensive solidity holds up, but I'm not convinced it will against a team that's been scoring consistently. The Asian Handicap -0.25 for Augsburg at 1.15 is too tight for my liking given their form.
