Augsburg form and stats

With 2 Bundesliga wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Augsburg are certainly not brimming with confidence. Augsburg has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager H. Herrlich and the players. Game days at WWK Arena have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Augsburg as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 224 minutes without scoring a league goal. M. Richter was the last player to find the net.

The Augsburg crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Bayern München here at WWK Arena in a Bundesliga match. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Werder Bremen (0-2).

The penalty miss from Alfreð Finnbogason in the defeat against Bayern München was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

Augsburg are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 9 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 16 goals have been conceded.
