On Saturday afternoon, Augsburg host Arminia Bielefeld at the WWK Arena, in what could be a vital game for the visitors in their bid to avoid relegation from the Bundesliga.
Augsburg are currently six points above the visitors, who occupy the relegation play-off spot in the German top-flight.
The home side looks to be relatively safe from being sucked into the fight for survival. However, a defeat in this clash would make things very uncomfortable for Heiko Herrlich’s team.
The Bavarians have been highly inconsistent of late, but a record of just three wins in their last ten Bundesliga outings is not a great one. A 1-0 defeat at rock-bottom Schalke in their last match was a particularly disappointing result.
One of Augsburg biggest concerns this season has been a lack of goals, as only the league’s bottom three have scored fewer goals than the home side.
Augsburg have a decent recent home record in the German top-flight, having won three of their previous five matches on home soil in the Bundesliga while suffering just one defeat.
Arminia Bielefeld’s recent form has been mixed, but the visitors remain in the relegation play-off spot. However, they are only behind 15th place Hertha Berlin courtesy of inferior goal difference. The visitors are also only ahead of 17th place Koln by three points.
Like Saturday’s opponents, Arminia Bielefeld have struggled in front of goal this season, as only bottom team Schalke has scored fewer goals than the visitors in the Bundesliga.
Bielefeld have also been poor on their travels, as a record of just two wins on their travels in 17 away games in the Bundesliga this season illustrates.
Forebet predicts that Augsburg will move further clear of the relegation zone by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
