Augsburg Form & Balance Check
FC Augsburg are in a positive phase. The team has collected ten points in its last five Bundesliga matches and has been unbeaten in four games. With 31 points, they are in 11th place in the table, but are only one point behind Borussia Dortmund. Alexis Claude-Maurice stands out in particular, having scored nine goals and consistently proving his goal threat.
Safe at the back
FCA are also stable defensively: they have not conceded a goal in their last three league games. However, there is still a lack of energy in the first 45 minutes – FCA have often been pale before the break. The team has put the DFB Cup defeat to Stuttgart (0:1) behind them, now only the Bundesliga counts.
Augsburg facts & analysis
- Place eleven in the table
- Unbeaten in seven games
- Last BL game 3: 0 against Gladbach
At FC Augsburg, coach Jess Thorup is likely to field his tried-and-tested 3-4-2-1 system again. In all likelihood, Tietz will lead the attack, while the in-form Claude-Maurice will provide offensive impetus behind him. Jensen, together with Claude-Maurice, could form the offensive control center. In the back three, captain Gouweleeuw will once again organize the defence, flanked by Matsima and Zesiger. Wolf and Giannoulis are set as wingers in midfield, while Onyeka and Jakić are expected to form the central duo. As Thorup’s team have been so convincing of late, major changes are unlikely.
Freiburg Form & Bilanz Check
SC Freiburg, on the other hand, have been underlining their ambitions for a Champions League place for weeks. Four wins in the last five games and, most recently, the spectacular 5:0 win against Werder Bremen speak volumes for the offensive power of the Breisgauers. Only three points behind Eintracht Frankfurt, fourth place in the table is within reach. In addition to their goal threat, the team also works very consistently defensively, which is reflected in several clean sheets.
Defense stands
Goalkeeper Noah Atubolu has established himself as a penalty-killer, and world champion Matthias Ginter gives the defensive unit additional security. After their only defeat in recent weeks against Bayern Munich (1:2), Sport-Club showed mental strength and got straight back on the road to success. It is particularly noticeable that Freiburg often act in a controlled manner before the break and step up their game in the second half, which could be seen again in the recent goal rush against Bremen.
Freiburg facts & analysis
- Fourth place in the table
- Four games without losing a point
- Last BL game 5: 0 against Bremen
For SC Freiburg, coach Christian Streich is likely to stick with his preferred 4-2-3-1. Noah Atubolu is likely to start in goal and will be hoping to build on his recent brilliant performances. In the center of defence, world champion Matthias Ginter will be the calm organizer, together with Lienhart, while Sildillia and captain Günter will take on the full-back roles. Osterhage and Eggestein are first choice on the double-six, with Doan, Röhl and Grifo operating as an attacking front three. Lucas Höler is likely to be happy with the role of striker, with no reason to change after the 5-0 win over Bremen.
