Team News

Augsburg
  • In midfield, Andreas Ottl and Daniel Baier will start in the centre again to add stability.
  • With Ja Cheol Koo injured in the long-term, Jan Moravek could play an important role in central attacking midfield this season.
  • Milan Petrzela will most likely replace the injured Knowledge Musona on the right wing.
Wolfsburg
  • Wolfsburg manager Magath could switch to a 4-3-1-2 system for this game.
  • Alongside Marcel Schäfer, Josué and Christian Träsch will most likely start in central midfield, with Robin Knoche suspended for one game.
  • Diego would play in his favourite position in this system, with two strikers ahead of him.

Prediction

  • Augsburg have lost their first two matches and need to improve massively on the attack. New striker Aristide Bancé needs more support from midfield and after Ja Cheol Koo's injury, Jan Moravek has to step up.
  • After a win at Stuttgart on matchday 1, Wolfsburg lost heavily against Hannover last weekend. Manager Magath will most likely change the system, but the team as a whole has to improve in many areas again, regardless of the tactical system.
  • Expect Wolfsburg to try to dominate the game from the outset. Augsburg will most likely sit deep and wait for their chances on the counter, with quick players like Giovanni Sio and Aristide Bancé leading the attacks.
