FC Augsburg - VfL Wolfsburg

Compared to last season Augsburg started much better and they are much more solid this season so far. Coach Weinzierl and Sport Manager Reuter has done a good job and they hope that they can continue this way now. This means that they collect some Points and fall not back to old times from first half of the season of last year. Despite all they have to do their home work and if they invest not all it is hard for the small club to win matches. For this match Coach Weinzierl miss DEF Klavan suspended, Bobadilla injured but not fact this season so far. But some changes must be made according to Klavan's absent new signed Hong who played solid as he came in against Schalke gives his starting debut today. Hopefully the defensive work as good with him as with Klavan. Additional wing Ostrzolek is a doubt at the moment and therefore de Jong can play on the wing for him but it is not sure if he must pass. Overall FCA feel very confident before this match, have they still an unbeaten run against Wolfsburg in all BL matches. They are 2-2-0 against the giant from VW town. They believe to continue this run and hurt Wolfsburg again, the home record speaks for them where they were only beaten from BvB while the other matches were won both 2-1 and last one 2-2 against Gladbach. 

It looks like Wolfsburg has only changed his role a bit. Last season they played awful at home but got a lot of Points on the road, this season it is different at the moment. They come to Augsburg with 0-0-4 and this is more as a disaster for their high quality in team. Also the money they invest in their team was and is huge what makes it not much more easier for Coach Hecking. The situation is getting worse and is on an absolutely low Point when they lost their last match against big outsider from Braunschweig at home. Most Diego was criticized, who had too many turnovers and tried a lot of his own hand with dribbling. If they play like before the break the 5th lose in a row is coming for sure. All was very angry and they have to invest must more and play as a team otherwise the results stay away. Of course the quality is there but they have to bring it on the pitch. Maybe Coach Hecking gives the same eleven a chance for some reaction today but also because of less alternatives he has at the moment.

Normally this is a must bet on Wolfsburg because I do not think that they lose 5 matches in a row on the road. But the last performances and negative record let me doubt.
