Wolfsburg Form & Balance Check
Wolfsburg have struggled to live up to their own expectations all season. While they were able to finish the first half of the season in mid-table, Wolfsburg are struggling in the second half of the season. They have drawn five and lost three of their eight games so far.
The result of the second half of the season is five points from eight games and a thankless 16th place. Thanks to their reasonably solid first half of the season, however, they are still in 13th place in the overall table, but cannot afford to rest on their laurels
Winless in 2024
With yesterday’s cup win against Gladbach, third-division side Saarbrücken now have more victories against Bundesliga clubs in 2024 than Bundesliga side Wolfsburg themselves. The Wolves’ last win dates back to 16.12.2023 against bottom-placed Darmstadt. Since then, Niko Kovač’s team have been waiting for that all-important three-pointer that could certainly untie a few knots
Wolfsburg facts & analysis
- Winless in 2024
- 16th in the second half of the season
- Last game lost
Augsburg Form & Balance Sheet Check
Augsburg are currently on their longest winning streak of the season. They have won all of their last three games, with a goal difference of 9:1. Jess Thorup’s team is in a very solid ninth place in the table and can even aim for Europe with further wins
Strong second half of the season
Augsburg obviously made good use of the winter break and got off to an almost perfect start to the second half of the season. They picked up four wins, two draws and two defeats from their eight games. This result puts them ahead of the record champions from Munich and RB Leipzig in the table for the second half of the season. Augsburg will be highly motivated to keep their winning streak going and continue their brilliant run in the second half of the season.
Augsburg facts & analysis
- Three wins in a row
- Fourth in the Bundesliga in the second half of the season
- Last game won
Niko Kovač is likely to revert to his familiar 4-2-3-1 after the defeat in Leverkusen. He will be without central defender Moritz Jenz (yellow-red suspension), who will probably be replaced by Sebastiaan Bornauw.
Augsburg will probably field the same team as in Heidenheim. Elvis Rexhbecaj is also an option in midfield for Arne Maier
