FC Augsburg vs. SpVgg Greuther Fürth
A match in which absolutely nothing is at stake on this last matchday of the Bundesliga is the encounter between FC Augsburg and Greuther Fürth. The Kleeblätter have been relegated since the first matchday and have not been able to establish themselves in Germany’s top division at any time. Since the fourth matchday, they have been in last place in the table without interruption and can no longer manage to stay in the league. Accordingly, the Franconians are likely to be disappointed.
Augsburg, on the other hand, managed to stay in the league a fortnight ago due to the weakening competition and will continue to play in the first division next year. However, 14th place will remain the highest of the feelings this season, as VfL Wolfsburg are now 13th with 41 points. In the last home game, however, the Fuggerstädter will certainly want to give it their all again and keep the three points. Find out whether we think they will succeed in this Augsburg – Fürth tip.

Augsburg Form & Balance Check
Fc Augsburg is a phenomenon in the Bundesliga, as the team somehow manages to stay in the class every year. This season, too, things didn’t go well for a long time and the football the team plays is, to put it mildly, not the most attractive. It is the exception rather than the rule that the Fuggerstädter are convincing with truly beautiful football. Time and again, careless mistakes creep into the Augsburg game, resulting in lost points, especially in away games. But in the end, they still managed to stay in the league because FCA’s will was really strong. Nevertheless, the club has to think about what the goal can be in the coming years.
Umbreak in the summer?
The fact that Augsburg were able to keep the class early is of course also extremely important for the planning. Because those responsible can already start planning the squad. One of the most interesting personnel issues is that of record newcomer Ricardo Pepi, who has not yet been able to convince at all. The 19-year-old is not yet physically up to the task and absolutely has to improve next year, because the € 17 million should pay off in the end. In addition, the future of some key players, such as Eduardo Vargas, is still unclear. Accordingly, it could be an interesting summer at FCA.
Augsburg facts & analysis
– Lost 4 of their last 5 games.
– 22 of 35 points scored at home
– Scored in 13 of last 16 games
Fürth form & balance check
It was only the second season of the cloverleaves in the top flight and just as disappointing as the last one went nine years ago, this season 2021/22 was just as bitter. From the beginning, they really had no chance, as almost all the key players of the last season have left the club. Financially, the club is nowhere near as strong as its competitors, so Fürth were unable to make adequate additions. In the end, the Franconians were by far the weakest team in the league and it seems as if they will not even crack the 20-point mark.
Many question marks before going down to the 2. Bundesliga
The fact that coach Stefan Leitl is leaving the club for Hannover has been in the dry since the beginning of the week, but a successor has not yet been presented. In addition, some players who have performed well this season will also change colours. Accordingly, Greuther Fürth will probably have to completely reorganise for the new season. The most important personnel issue will be the coaching position, but there is hardly any tendency in this direction yet.
Fürth facts & analysis
– Most goals conceded of all Bundesliga teams (80).
– Won every 11th game on average
– Picked up 13 of the 18 points in the second half
Predicted line-up – last update on 12 May 2022
We don’t think the coaches will give the game away and start with a possible B eleven. That’s why we expect the home side to field the best possible players, with the recently injured Iago returning. Vargas will also miss the last game of the season due to injury, as will Strobl and Sarenren Bazee.
Burchert will be the visitors’ goalkeeper again in the last game, otherwise there is really no reason for changes after the good performances of the last weeks. At the most, if the coach decides on a different tactical alignment. Seguin or Green could play instead of Raschl. Nielsen, Meyerhöfer and Kehr are missing due to injury.
Weinzierl: “We achieved our goal, but the last few games were still unfortunate. We didn’t make it with a sense of achievement of our own and now we want to get that experience on Saturday against Fürth!” ➡️ https://t.co/4ch1tRCxDr FCASGF pic.twitter.com/vcmwYqQV8i
