Augsburg, Recent FormThe Augsburg squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-1 away defeat against Freiburg, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 54%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Freiburg, who had 15 shots on goal with 10 on target.
Manager Enrico Maaßen will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 8 goals they managed at the other end. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. They have produced a defensive record this season that they won't be proud of, having conceded at least 1 goal in 15 of their 18 league matches.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table. If they want to get anywhere this season, they'll need to do something very quickly to fix their home form, having lost 5 of the first 9 league games at The WWK Arena.
Goalscorer Mërgim Berisha will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Augsburg.
Bayer Leverkusen, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Bayer Leverkusen players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Borussia Dortmund. In that game they recorded 57 of the possession, with 21 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 7 shots on goal.
Manager Xabi Alonso will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 14 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late.
They have had an excellent run of form recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 games.
Moussa Diaby will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Bayer Leverkusen.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Bayer Leverkusen, losing 1-2 to Augsburg.
In the past 11 away matches at Augsburg in the league, Die Werkself have consistently found the net, scoring at least 1 goal in each of those encounters. In their recent meetings Leverkusen have had no problem breaking down Fuggerstädter's defence, having found the back of the net 14 times in their last 5 games.
Leverkusen have managed to keep their hosts at bay for a very long time in this league fixture, denying Augsburg a win at home for 11 games in a row.
Moussa Diaby will be feeling confident of netting goals for Leverkusen in this one against Augsburg with his scoring record of 5 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
Augsburg manager Enrico Maaßen has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Iago Borduchi (Achilles tendon), Irvin Cardona (Foot), André Hahn (Knee), Reece Oxford (Back), Tobias Strobl (Cruciate ligament) and Ruben Vargas (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Charles Aránguiz (Calf) and Andrey Lunyov (Back) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Xabi Alonso will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
