Overview
Augsburg are on an impressive run with 11 Bundesliga unbeaten games, including six wins. They have also won 2 and drawn 2 of their last 4 home matches. The good results of recent times have helped Augsburg rise to 8th place in the Bundesliga and are only 3 points behind the group participating in the European Cup.
However, Augsburg's burning issue has not been resolved. That is an extremely bad attacking ability. With 30 goals in 27 matches, Augsburg is the 4th worst attack in the league and the worst in the Bundesliga top 10. Despite their good form, Augsburg often only win by the minimum and need the excellence of the defense.
Augsburg's 6th best defense in the Bundesliga this season is unlikely to have the opportunity to show their ability when in the next round, they will meet Bayern Munich. Coach Vincent Kompany's team has the best attack and defense in the tournament. The "Gray Tigers" are also showing dominance in this year's Bundesliga. They have won 10, drawn two and lost just one in the competition in recent times.
The recent clashes between Augsburg and Bayern Munich have been very exciting. The last 5 matches have a total of 27 goals, and of course, the Bavarian team won all 5 matches. Overall, Augsburg have only won 2 of their last 10 meetings with Bayern.
The first leg of the Bundesliga this season ended with a score of 3-0 in favor of the "Gray Tigers". They controlled the ball 80% and had 33 shots, including 14 shots on target. Augsburg, meanwhile, spent the 90 minutes defending and only had two shots.

Home side Augsburg will not have the services of Robert Gumny and Yusuf Kabadayi in this match.
