- Location: WWK Arena, Augsburg, Germany
Game Overview
FC Augsburg, currently 15th in the Bundesliga, hosts Hamburger SV, ranked 13th, in a tightly contested match at WWK Arena. Both teams have struggled for consistency this season. Augsburg has a slightly poorer home form, and recent encounters have seen close results with the home side winning in their last four Bundesliga meetings. The match looks potentially low-scoring with defensive discipline from both sides but also opportunities given the teams' offensive struggles.
Key Factors to Consider
- Augsburg holds a 15th position with 7 points from 9 games and a negative goal difference (-9). Hamburger SV is slightly better positioned at 13th with 8 points and a -7 goal difference. Augsburg has won 2, drawn 1, and lost 6 matches, while Hamburg has 2 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses. Recent form shows Augsburg suffering an 80% loss rate at home this season, while Hamburg's away form is slightly better but still inconsistent.
- The last Bundesliga meetings favored the home team, with Augsburg winning the previous home game 1-0 in January 2018. In total, the last four Bundesliga home meetings ended in home wins without conceding. Historically, results have been close, with neither side dominating the fixture significantly.
- Available data does not specify current injuries for either side explicitly. Absence of key players cannot be confirmed but should be monitored closer to matchday.
- The game being at Augsburg's home pitch should give them a slight edge given historical home victories in this fixture. Weather and pitch conditions are assumed normal for late November in Augsburg with no extreme disruptions reported.
- Both teams aim to climb out of the relegation-threatened lower half, adding urgency and motivation to secure points. Augsburg's struggle at home intensifies their need for a result, while Hamburg also seeks to stabilize and improve standings.
