In the last match, they lost in an away match against Borussia Dortmund, by (2‑1).

Augsburg comes unmotivated for this match after a 2-1 setback in the Borussia Dortmund arena, thus registering the second consecutive defeat in this Bundesliga: the only goal of the team was signed by Andi Zeqiri. Despite this, coach Markus Weinzierl should line up his team in 4-3-3 privileging the maintenance of ball possession and organized attacks by the runners. Striker Andi Zeqiri is one of Augsburg’s top scorers with 1 goal scored. Out of this game are André Hahn, Felix Uduokhai, Florian Niederlechner, Jan Morávek, Rubén Vargas, Niklas Dorsch, Alfred Finnbogason and Iago, players who are recovering from injury.

The team has conceded goals to the opponent in 5 of the last 7 matches for this competition, so they haven’t been very strong defensively. This is a team that rarely scores first and only opened the scoreboard in 2 of their last 9 matches, of these 2 they reached halftime ahead of all and won at the end of the 90′ in 1. In 9 matches, they never managed to give the back on the scoreboard in the 5 games in which they conceded the first goal.

Arminia Bielefeld comes for this match after a defeat, by 0-4, against Bayern Leverkusen, thus adding the second setback in this Bundesliga. In this away game, coach Frank Kramer should keep the team in a 4-3-3 formation, favoring the medium-low block and counterattacks. We emphasize that the visitors have competence in the defense-attack transition. Striker Fabian Klos is the great highlight of Arminia Bielefeld with 1 goals and 1 assist.
