Wolfsburg and Augsburg return to action in the Bundesliga when they square off at the Volkswagen Arena on Saturday (April 1).
Niko Kovac’s side are without a win at home since January and will head into the weekend looking to end this poor run. Wolfsburg returned to winning ways in their last outing before the international break, edging out Stuttgart 1-0 on March 18.
Before that, Die Wolfe picked up a 2-0 win at Koln on February 25 to snap their five-game winless run before playing out successive draws against Frankfurt and Union Berlin. Wolfsburg have picked up 38 points from 25 matches and are seventh in the Bundesliga, two points off the UEFA Europa Conference League qualification spot.
Meanwhile, Augsburg were one of the active sides during the break, picking up a 4-2 friendly win over St. Gallen. Manager Enrico Maassen will hope that performance can serve as a springboard for a fine run of form as his side return to the Bundesliga, where they have picked up just one point in their last eight away games.
With 28 points from 25 games, Augsburg are 12th in the league table, but a win this weekend could see them move level on points with tenth-placed Borussia Monchengladbach.
