Augsburg – Hamburg: 30th April 2017

FC Augsburg

With four defeats in the last five stages, the hosts are on the 16th place in the standings and they need a Sunday victory to hope for a relegation. That’s because the last round program includes trips to M’Gladbach and Hoffenheim, while home is going to receive Dortmund’s visit. Thus, M.Baum’s band could go to the second league after six consecutive seasons in the Bundesliga. Returning from the suspension, Alfred Finnbogason is likely to resume in the first 11, although the Icelandic scored just one goal this season.

In the last five home games played, Augsburg won a single win, 2-1 with Cologne. It was for the third time that the offensive scored at least two goals.

Hamburg SV

On the other side, guests are also not in a better situation. Darmstadt’s own home win, the last-ranked, they have one point ahead of their opponent. Thus, Hamburg has complicated its only mission in this season’s end. Even if he has a slightly easier program to attend Mainz and Wolfsburg, he has already shown that nothing is safe as far as he is concerned. Most likely, fans will not be relieved of emotions until the curtain is drawn. With 55 goals received so far, the “Reds” have the weakest defensive in the Bundesliga, along with Darmstadt.

In the last five trips he managed to gather four points, but even so, he is ranked 17th in a ranking of matches played abroad. In three of the last four of the offensive he did not find the way to the goal
