VfL Wolfsburg vs FC Augsburg

VfL Wolfsburg were one of just two teams alongside 1. FC Heidenheim that FC Augsburg won both league fixtures against last season. FCA haven’t lost any of their last five Bundesliga meetings with the Wolves (W3, D2) – of the current top-flight sides, they’re only on a longer unbeaten run against Union Berlin (8 games).

VfL Wolfsburg have won just three of their 13 Bundesliga home games against FC Augsburg (D6, L4). Of the sides they have faced at least three times at home in the top flight, their win percentage is only worse against FC Bayern (14%) than it is versus FCA (23%).

VfL Wolfsburg haven’t won any of their last five Bundesliga home games, picking up just one of a possible 15 points during that run – it’s their longest wait for a home victory under Ralph Hasenhüttl. The Wolves’ record of one point after four home games is a joint worst for the club in the top flight (also 1 in 2012/13).

FC Augsburg have lost each of their last seven Bundesliga away games, a new negative club record. No other current Bundesliga side has been waiting as long for a point on the road as FCA, who last got a result away from home in mid-March when they won 3-1 in Wolfsburg.

VfL Wolfsburg have already conceded seven goals from set pieces in the Bundesliga this season, a joint league high together with Holstein Kiel. Opponents FC Augsburg are right behind them though, having let in six goals from dead balls.
