Augsburg will host Hertha Berlin at the WWK Arena on Sunday afternoon in another round of the German Bundesliga.
The Fuggerstädter have had a sluggish start to their league campaign. They were beaten 1-0 by Hoffenheim in their last game and struggled to create any noteworthy chances to alter the result as they fell to a second straight defeat.
Augsburg sit 14th in the league table with just four points and will be looking to add to that tally this weekend.
Hertha Berlin have not fared much better than their opponents and are one of five teams without a Bundesliga win this season. They were beaten 1-0 by Borussia Dortmund last time out and were fortunate not to have lost by a larger margin as their opponents created chance after chance.
The visitors sit 17th in the league table with just one point from an obtainable 12. They will be looking to pick up their first league win of the season on Sunday.
