Augsburg will host Bochum at the WWK Arena on Saturday (November 12) afternoon in the Bundesliga.
The hosts have struggled this season and find themselves in the bottom half of the league table as the midpoint of the season approaches. Augsburg held on for a 2-2 draw against second-placed Union Berlin in their last game, coming from behind twice to draw level via a brace from Florian Niederlechner. Augsburg are 14th in the Bundesliga standings with 15 points. They will now look to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track.
Bochum, meanwhile, have also had their struggles this season as they continue to adapt to life under manager Thomas Letsch. They beat Borussia Monchengladbach 2-1 in their last game, with Christopher Antwi-Adjei and Philipp Hoffman getting on the scoresheet in the opening 12 minutes.
The visitors are 17th in the league table with ten points from 14 games. They are just one point above rock-bottom and will look to widen that gap this weekend.
