Augsburg will host Wolfsburg at the WWK Arena on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign.
The home side have had their struggles in the Bundesliga this season, prompting the dismissal of head coach Enrico Maaßen. They began life under new boss Jess Thorup with a clinical 5-2 comeback victory over newly-promoted Heidenheim last weekend featuring goals from five different players including summer arrival Phillip Tietz, who scored his first-ever goal for the club.
Augsburg sit mid-table in 10th place with eight points from eight matches. They will be looking to build on their latest result when they play on Saturday.
Wolfsburg enjoyed a positive start to their season but have struggled for results of late. They were beaten 2-1 by league leaders Bayer Leverkusen in their last match, conceding a goal in either half to record a fourth consecutive winless outing against Die Werkself.
The visitors sit a place and four points above their weekend opponents in the league standings. They will aim to widen that gap with maximum points on Saturday.
