Greuther Fürth to host Augsburg Amid Relegation Battle

This match sees Greuther Fürth looking for a return to form, following a defeat in their last match against Borussia Dortmund.

Also, these are challenging times for Stefan Leitl’s Greuther Fürth, having suffered 13 losses in 14 games, and taking them into relegation territory. This is a run of form that has to be stopped quickly. With four points (1W, 14L and 1D), they are established in eighteenth position in the League having won one game, drawn one game, and lost 14 games.

When Greuther Fürth host Augsburg, they will do so on the back of one victory, one dart, and five losse on their own ground.

Winning this fixture will see Greuther Fürth on 7 points.

Greuther Fürth’s ever growing list of players missing due to injury or illness to be a concern for Stefan Leitl, ahead of this Saturday’s fixture against their opponents.

Augsburg go into this meeting with 17 points secured

Whilst a disappointing 1-1 draw against RB Leipzig in their last game, is not the worst result they could have experienced, Augsburg will be keen to improve the result in this fixture.

Also, with one draws in one game, Manager Markus Weinzierl has plenty to ponder, going into the next game, not least of which is how to get the wins he needs. They currently stand sixteenth in the League, with 17 points for a total of 4 wins, 7 losses and 5 draws having won four meetings, drawn five matches, and lost seven meetings.

Augsburg have had a disappointing run of performances on the road, having won one game, drawn three fixtures, and lost four games of their eight League matches playing away this season.

A win in this fixture, would take Augsburg’s points from 17 to 20, so far this season.

It is likely that one key players will miss Saturday’s fixture, which is something of a concern for Markus Weinzierl and his Augsburg team.
