The team of 2014 had a lot of problems lately and they are doing not so well 2015. With some injured players and lack of power they lost the last game again after a throw in. They are very fragile in such situations and some of their defensive players sleep. They have conceded a lot of goals like after corners, free kicks or throw in. Coach Weinzierl was not very pleased after the late lose in Berlin and he speaks some clear words this trainings week. He let some starters train with the B-Sqaud like Werner and Höjberg and gives Caiuby and Kohr a chance there. It is not out if he wants to change like this, maybe it should be more a sign for some players. At home they are very hard to play anyway and they can be a very hard nut today. Although important captain and wing Verhaegh is out again but they should replace them in Team. The offensive line is good for goals and according to the last game in Wolfsburg where they dominated Wolfsburg very well but lost in the end 0-1 it can be that Wolfsburg make the game and Augsburg take advantage of their own counter attacks this time. 

The best German Team 2015 comes not from Munich but from Wolfsburg. It is a big surprise for some but overall not for some expects as the transfers and players they have in the squad are doing well and can be a big rival for Bayern Munich in the future. They are 7-2-0 in all competitions 2015 but they had a lot of matches recently and the schedule is not getting easier for them at the moment. This is their sixth match in 16 days and according to their lineup it is getting more and more a tired one. Of course Coach Hecking gave some players a rest like DEF Knoche for him played Klose the last two matches, also Rodriguez’s backup Schäfer played two times now. This can change for Augsburg back to normal. Vierinha got a break in Cup, Schürrle against Bremen but this was all. Most of the key players like Naldo, Gustavo, De Bryne, Dos Bast played almost all minutes 2015 and it was seen in Cup that they are getting more and more tired. This is due to less alternatives Hecking has available right now. With Peresic and Hunt are two offensive players injured and not ready. It speaks a lot for the same offensive lineup as in the past. Of course they have a lot of potential and can overcome all opponents very easy but against Bremen it was close and against Leipzig (Cup) they had also some luck in some periods of the match. 

I expect a very close match, Augsburg is hard to play above all at home where they lost only to Dortmund and Bayern Munich, additional they scored in almost all matches, only against Bayern 0-4 not. The home strength of Augsburg is huge and they are a hard fighting team with a lot of good spirit and I am sure they can hurt Wolfsburg. I wrote it already last weekend, Wolfsburg are not so strong on the road with only 5 wins from 11 matches and also they conceded 19 of their 27 goals on the road. With the huge number of matches in legs it can be that they get problems this time.
