Augsburg will host Union Berlin at the WWK Arena on Friday in another round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign.
The home side are enjoying a good run of form after a slow start to the year. Their push for continental football, however, took a hit last weekend as they suffered a 3-1 defeat to Hoffenheim, with Ermedin Demirovic's second-half strike proving to be a mere consolation goal.
Augsburg sit seventh in the Bundesliga standings with 36 points from 28 games and will be looking to get their campaign back on track with a win on Friday.
Union Berlin have endured a turbulent campaign but remain hopeful of avoiding the drop. They were beaten 1-0 by league leaders Bayer Leverkusen in their last match, with Robin Gosens' first-half dismissal ultimately scuppering their chances of a positive result on home turf.
The visitors sit 13th in the table with just 29 points picked up so far and will be looking to add to that tally this weekend.
