Augsburg will host Darmstadt at WWK Arena on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign.
The home side have endured a rather turbulent campaign with pressure now mounting on head coach Enrico Maaßen. They were beaten 2-0 by a clinical Freiburg side in their last match and had a few chances to get back in the game in either half but failed to convert as they fell to a sixth consecutive defeat to the Breisgau-Brasilianer.
Augsburg sit 14th in the league table with just five points picked up after six matches. They are just one point above their weekend opponents in the table and will be looking to widen that gap come Saturday.
Darmstadt have not had the smoothest return to the German top flight so far but finally picked up their first win since promotion last weekend and will be looking to kick on from that. They beat Werder Bremen 4-2 last Sunday with four different players getting on the scoresheet for Die Lilien before their opponents scored two consolation goals later on.

Augsburg vs Darmstadt Prediction
Augsburg have lost two of their last three matches and have won just one of their last 10 competitive outings. They are, however, unbeaten in their last three home matches and will be hopeful of a positive result this weekend.
Darmstadt's latest result ended an 11-game winless streak dating back to pre-season and they will now be looking to build on that this weekend. They have, however, lost their last six competitive matches on the road and could see defeat here as well.
