On Sunday, starting with 14:30, the Wolfsburg – Augsburg match will be played, within the 3rd stage of the Bundesliga. Wolfsburg is unbeaten in the last 5 direct matches, ticking 3 wins and two draws in this interval. Last season, the “wolves” drew at home, score 0-0, then defeated Augsburg, score 2-1.
Wolfsburg saved a number of important players in the last round of the Bundesliga, in the draw from Freiburg, score 1-1. However, the group coached by Oliver Glasner missed the qualification in the Europa League groups, losing 2-1 to AEK Athens in the play-off of the competition, after leading 1-0 at the break. Apart from the draw with Freiburg, Wolfsburg ended in a draw in the first round of the Bundesliga, a 0-0 draw with Leverkusen, another team that is struggling to score.
Augsburg has a fantastic start to the season, winning the first two stages of the Bundesliga for the first time in the club’s history. Also, another premiere, the Bavarians ended an internal weekend on the first two positions. After the victory in the inaugural round with Union Berlin, score 3-1 away, Heiko Herrlick’s students defeated Dortmund at home, score 2-0, frustrating the “yellow-blacks” throughout the match. In the duel with Haaland & co., Augsburg had 29% possession of the ball and only 6 goal situations.
Wolfsburg definitely want to wash away the disappointment of being eliminated from the Europa League, and Augsburg play well. It is a match in which we should witness goals, probably not in the famous 8-1 in the spring of 2019, but at least two successes are possible.
-The “Wolves” have not won more than 6 home matches in the Bundesliga;
