- This is the longest run in BL for Augsburg so far away from home.
- Augsburg had a good run at home too but this is stopped from Nürnberg last weekend.
- Augsburg plays their best BL season in history and they are very close to an international spot.
- Once again, after Freiburg played international football they are in relegation trouble.
- Last time this happen, they were relegated in the end.

The situation was much worse in first half of the season but now they can count on many of the players from their squad, only Terrazzino, Hedenstad and Freis is not available.

Augsburg's Coach Weinzierl can count almost on the same lineup as in the past. Once again out are Mölders, Holzhauser and Hitz.


After Freiburg knocked out from EL it is much more easier for them as they must only focus form week to week and their normal job. This is the league but they must be warned about the situation and they place at the moment above all they have to fight bit to avoid relegation as most of the teams come out much better from the winter break. But they have two team behind them at the moment and this should be their key goal. With much more options now Coach Streich can choose the best lineup and maybe change some tactical things as well. The results from the past home games were all good but if they want to fall not down more it is important to get points today above all if they look on the other matches where Hamburg has a hard game against Dortmund and the other candidates plays against each other. So it is a good chance to get a better position in relegation battle today.

High flying Augsburg were stopped last weekend at home against Nürnberg but away from home they are unbeaten in 5 of their last matches. Sure this is a absolutely good run but they play with a lot of power and they can not bring this on the pitch week for week. So it is not obvious that some weaker matches will come. In Freiburg they never had any to get and this is also a hard nut for them today.

Overall I expect a close match but I can never see Augsburg as favorite here. The stats are all against them and also with only 2 wins away from home, why favorite. A good choice to pick Freiburg.
