In Bundesliga action this weekend, Augsburg will host Wolfsburg at the WWK ARENA on Sunday afternoon.
Augsburg are struggling for form at the moment. They were beaten 3-2 by Stuttgart in their last game. Goals from Andre Hahn and Michael Gregoritsch gave the hosts a 2-1 lead in the first half before they squandered it late in the game.
Augsburg now sit 15th in the league table with 26 points from as many games. They are just one point above the drop zone and will look to pick up a win at the weekend to widen the gap.
Like their hosts, Wolfsburg are not in the best of form at the moment, though. They lost 2-0 to Bayer Leverkusen in their last game. They had multiple opportunities to take the lead in the game before conceding a quickfire double at the death.
The Wolves sit two places above their weekend hosts in the Bundesliga standings, with 31 points. They will now look to return to winning ways on Sunday.
