>Sonnenhof Großaspach vs FC Augsburg Prediction & Betting Tips – 27/10/2026
Sonnenhof Großaspach welcome Bundesliga leaders FC Augsburg to the WIRmachenDRUCK Arena on 27 October for a second-round DFB Pokal clash that carries all the hallmarks of a proper cup tie. The hosts, plying their trade in the third tier, earned their place here with a penalty shootout triumph over Arminia Bielefeld, proving they possess genuine knockout pedigree. For Augsburg, riding high atop the top flight, this fixture represents a potential banana skin. A place in the last sixteen is at stake, and Manuel Baum's side cannot afford complacency.
Match Analysis
FC Augsburg enter this DFB Pokal second-round tie as commanding favourites at 1.30, and with good reason: the Bundesliga leaders boast a class advantage that is almost unprecedented in cup football at this stage.
- Bundesliga leaders in 2024-25, competing two full divisions above their hosts.
- 5.65 shots on target per game for Augsburg versus Großaspach's modest 3.31.
- 1.80 goals per game scored by Augsburg, well above Großaspach's 1.25 average.
- Augsburg reached this round with a 2-0 win over Cottbus, showing cup focus.
Sonnenhof Großaspach, a third-tier side, face a monumental task at 8.00. Their cup credentials are real after eliminating Arminia Bielefeld on penalties, but three confirmed absentees and thin squad depth severely limit their upset potential.
- Großaspach average just 1.25 goals per game, struggling to threaten elite defences.
- Three confirmed injuries (Hajdini, Faß, Ender) further deplete an already limited squad.
- Third-tier side with 3.31 shots on target per game, insufficient to trouble Augsburg.
Key point: With Augsburg's injury-hit squad and LDDLD league form, backing the away side on a double chance in prose terms remains safer than chasing a clean away win at 1.30.

Our Verdict
FC Augsburg's quality advantage is stark. The Bundesliga leaders have been inconsistent in league form, yet their squad depth and pedigree dwarf anything Großaspach can muster. The hosts showed steel by eliminating Arminia Bielefeld on penalties, but repeating that feat against top-flight opposition is a different proposition entirely. An away win at 1.30 reflects the class gap accurately, and that is where the value sits. Over 2.5 goals at 1.42 also appeals, given Augsburg's attacking intent. Prediction: FC Augsburg to win. Odds correct at time of publication.
