This match features two teams living in the basement of the Bundesliga, Fortuna Düsseldorf holding 16th place and Augsburg lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
Fortuna Düsseldorf form and stats
Fortuna Düsseldorf's results here at Merkur Spiel-Arena in the Bundesliga have been very modest with 3 victories, 3 draws and 6 defeats.
The home team returns to Merkur Spiel-Arena after being equal after 90 minutes with Mainz 05 (placed 15th) on their last time out; the Bundesliga game ended 1-1. Preceding that game was the away draw at Saarbrucken (after extra-time, 7-6 on penalties) that finished 1-1.
Düsseldorf are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 12 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 23 goals have been conceded.
Augsburg form and stats
There's been little loot from Augsburg's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 13 away games in the Bundesliga. Augsburg only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws. Bitter travels for Augsburg as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Hoffenheim match. Three has not been a lucky number for Augsburg as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Freiburg match.
There might be some fixture complaints from Augsburg as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Bundesliga match against Bayern München (0-2). The game before that, was lost at home, a 2-3 defeat against Borussia M'gladbach.
The visitors have scored 12 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. For Augsburg, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
