FC Augsburg form and stats

The story so far in the Bundesliga for FC Augsburg at their home stadium (WWK Arena) is 0 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats. The FC Augsburg manager Maaßen might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Ahead of that match, FC Augsburg lost 1-2 at home to FSV Mainz 05.

Hertha BSC form and stats

It's not happening yet for Hertha BSC on their Bundesliga travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Hertha BSC has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Serdar was the last player to score for the away team. Hertha haven't scored a league goal in the last 267 minutes.

This fixture can not go any worse than the previous one, the home loss versus Borussia Dortmund with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Kempf, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.6. Kempf won 9 of 15 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Borussia Mönchengladbach wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Hertha BSC playing away and similar expectations, we found 8 relevant matches. Results were 2 Hertha BSC wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.

It's early days yet, but Hertha BSC has scored 1 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Hertha BSC have pulled off a streak of 5 consecutive matches without losing (4-1-0) when playing Augsburg.
