Augsburg :
After 7 wins, 6 draws and 12 losses, the home team is currently in 14th position, with 27 points won. In their last match, they lost in an away match against Bayern München by (2‑0), after in the previous match they lost (2‑3) at home, in a match against Borussia M’gladbach. This is a team that presents similar results at home and away, so it is not usually affected by the home factor, since in the last 30 games it has recorded 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses as a visitor; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in his stadium. In their last 10 home games for the championship Augsburg have won 4, tied 2 and lost 4, winning 14 points in 30 possible. The team allowed goals to the opponent in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition, so it has not been very strong defensively. In their home matches for this competition there is a tendency for goals, since 10 of the last 12 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 25 matches in the competition, he suffered the first goal 11 times and only got 2 comebacks.
Augsburg come from a great victory, something that was key to their fight against relegation. Now, compared to the last classified, it is practically a necessity to add the three points again. He will have to prevail early and not let the visiting club play quietly. If you play smart and have effectiveness in your actions, you can win without any problem. However, if you enter the field too confident you can complicate everything. In this game, Hahn will be left out, while Giefer, Finnbogason, Iago, Schieber and Vargas are in doubt.
Paderborn :
The visiting team is currently in 18th place, with 16 points won, after 4 wins, 4 draws and 17 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match to Mainz 05 by (2‑0). In the last match, they lost at home to Köln by (1‑2). This is a team that curiously tends to achieve more positive results as a visitor than at home, since in the last 30 games it has recorded 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses as a visitor, with 17 goals scored and 27 suffered; against 3 wins, 2 draws and 10 losses in his stadium, with 24 goals scored and 35 suffered. For the championship, Paderborn conquered 8 points in 30 possible, after 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats in the last 10 games that he played as a visitor. The team allowed goals to the opponent in 9 of the last 10 matches, so it has not had great defensive strength, but its attack has marked regularly, since it has scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 25 matches in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 16 times and never got the comeback.
The Paderborn’s mission to remain in the German elite is very complicated. The team needs victories in these last days and has yet to wait for favorable results from the rivals. Of course it can’t interfere with the other games, but at least its part will try to do. So if you still dream of avoiding division relegation, you will have to show higher quality football in the future. The coach has some doubts for this game: Kilian and Michel.
