Greuther Furth vs Augsburg Prediction
Greuther Furth have struggled to pick up results in the top-flight so far. They have won one game all season and lost 14 times. They have scored the second-fewest goals in the league and have conceded the most by some distance.
Augsburg have not necessarily been in brilliant form but have lost just one of their last five games and should therefore have enough to get the win.
Prediction: Greuther Furth 1-2 Augsburg
