An important duel in the bottom section of the Bundesliga, with both Fortuna Düsseldorf and Augsburg experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 16th and the visitors in 14th place.

It's no vacation for neither Fortuna Düsseldorf nor Augsburg as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Fortuna Düsseldorf are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. For Augsburg most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.
