Augsburg in need of a win to secure themselves
A slump in form has seen Augsburg slip down the table at the wrong time of the season. With four matches still to be played, the Fuggerstadter cannot lose any more points after their loss at Frankfurt on Tuesday which made them winless in three matches losing two of them.
Augsburg are undefeated in four straight Bundesliga matches at home and are yet to lose when scoring first at the WWK Arena winning five and drawing two in the process. It is thus important for Augsburg to score as they have won just one point out of 21 possible when conceding first at home.
Coach Heiko Herrlich’s team are on a goal drought for three matches and have scored just two goals in their last five matches. Defensively Augsburg have just one clean sheet in seven games and have conceded six goals in five games.
Koln hoping for a second win in a row
Koln are one of the most historic clubs in Germany. The club that produced players like Littbarski Podolski and are two-time Bundesliga winners are now in the relegation zone after being promoted from the second division two seasons ago.
It was a promising win in their last match as they beat RB Leipzig on Tuesday and coach Funkel will hope that win will give his team the confidence boost needed for a final push towards safety this season.
Koln were winless in nine games before Tuesday’s win. Koln haven’t won any game yet after conceding first and won 76% of their total point-haul after scoring first in their matches.
