Claude Opus 5
Leverkusen carry clearly superior squad depth and quality, and previews lean their way, but Augsburg have started the season brightly at home and the WWK Arena has produced upsets (including a 2-0 win over Leverkusen last term), so a narrow away win is most likely with a real chance of a draw.

Kimi K3
Leverkusen field a Champions League-calibre squad (Schick, Tella, Palacios, Grimaldo) and are the stronger side, but Augsburg's hot start to 2026/27 and their 2-0 win in the last head-to-head keep the hosts competitive at home; Leverkusen should edge it without dominating.

GLM-5.2
Augsburg are top of the league with a perfect record and home advantage, but Leverkusen's superior squad depth and dominant 4-0 response to their opening-day loss signals they are finding their feet under new manager Carles Martínez. Augsburg's hot start and Leverkusen's injury list make this closer than a typical meeting, but Leverkusen's quality should edge a high-scoring affair.
