Augsburg host bottom side Bochum at the WWK Arena on Saturday in the Bundesliga. The two teams have a combined three wins between them and languish in the bottom five in the league table.
The Fuggerstädter have seen just three victories this season, with the last one coming over a month ago to Borussia Dortmund (2-1) in October. It was supposed to bolster their form, but after three winless games, that win seems like a false dawn.
Just two points above the relegation zone, the Bavarian outfit are seeing that gap trimmed every week and might get sucked into it by the end of this week with another loss. But thankfully for them, Augsburg's next opponents are winless in the Bundesliga this season.
Trending
Bochum hold the unwanted distinction of being the only side in the top flight without a win. In 11 games, they've only avoided a loss twice: a pair of draws to Holstein Kiel (2-2) and defending champions Bayer Leverkusen (1-1), which was a real surprise.
However, Bochum were brought down to earth again by Stuttgart, who beat them 2-0 the nexf week.
