Augsburg will host Koln at the WWK Arena on Saturday in another round of Bundesliga football.
The home side have had their struggles this season but remain hopeful of avoiding the drop as the season enters its business end. They played out a 2-2 draw against Wolfsburg in their last game and looked set to head toward victory before their opponents scored twice in the final 15 minutes of the game.
Augsburg sit 12th in the league table with 29 points from 26 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways when they play on Saturday.
Koln have endured a difficult run of results in the league of late and find themselves in the bottom half of the table. They played out a goalless draw against Borussia Monchengladbach last time out and perhaps deserved more from the game after a good performance, but they failed to find the back of the net.
The visitors sit a place and a point behind their weekend opponents in the league table and will be looking to leapfrog them with maximum points this weekend.
