After starting the new Bundesliga campaign with a 0:1 loss to Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen will look to pick their first points of the season.
Moreover, the start of the new campaign went wrong for Bayer, as they suffered a shock 3:4 defeat in the DFB Pokal first round against SV Elversberg.
Nevertheless, Bayer Leverkusen will return to the BayArena this Saturday, where they secured 10 of their 17 Bundesliga match last season.

On the other hand, like their opponents, Augsburg also had a poor start of the season, securing 0:4 defeat at home to Freiburg.
Augsburg, as an away team, are not particularly good. They had just three wins in 17 away Bundesliga fixtures last year (D, L10).
The hosts will miss Florian Wirtz due to an ACL injury, while goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky is suspended after red card against Borussia Dortmund last weekend. Robert Andrich is also ruled out.
Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Karim Bellarabi and Amine are doubts.
