Augsburg, Recent FormAugsburg won't feel too deflated by the 5-3 away defeat to Bayern Munich, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. During that encounter they had 34% possession and had 14 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 8 of their 23 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 11 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches.
They have had a good run of form at The WWK Arena recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
On an individual basis, Mërgim Berisha will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Augsburg's last 6 league games.
Schalke 04, Recent FormAn important point secured against Borussia Dortmund will have left Schalke 04 quite happy with their 2-2 draw. They achieved 34% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Borussia Dortmund's tally of 19 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
6 goals in 6 matches haven't proved quite enough for them in terms of a return in points, and that's despite having only conceded 3 goals in those 6 games, which shows a pretty solid defensive line. They are proving tough to beat, keeping 4 clean sheets in their last 6 games. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 6 away games out of 11 this season, Thomas Reis will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
On an individual basis, Marius Bülter has scored in each of Schalke 04's last league game.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 2-3 win for Augsburg.
The Die Königsblauen defence has struggled at The WWK Arena, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 visits. When Schalke visit Fuggerstädter in the league, goals tend to happen, with 6 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2 goals per match.
In the league, Schalke has had a solid run on the road against Augsburg, being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings at The WWK Arena.
Augsburg manager Enrico Maaßen has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. André Hahn (Knee), Fredrik Jensen (Sprained ankle), Reece Oxford (Cold), Tobias Strobl (Cruciate ligament) and Felix Uduokhai (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Thomas Reis has a number of injury concerns in his Schalke squad to contend with: Cédric Brunner (Knock), Dominick Drexler (Hip), Justin Heekeren (Cruciate ligament), Soichiro Kozuki (Ankle), Danny Latza (Muscle), Thomas Ouwejan (Groin), Sebastian Polter (Cruciate ligament), Tim Skarke (Ankle), Jere Uronen (Groin) and Sepp van den Berg (Leg)
