How to play£25 UP FOR GRABS EVERY WEEK
The 4-0 came 161 days before this meeting, with 1. FC Union Berlin at home, and it is the only guide either side has to how these two match up in the Bundesliga. Treat it carefully. Union have not scored two or more in any of their last six, so a four-goal afternoon is not something they have repeated.
What the result does say is that Augsburg can be taken apart when the game opens up, and Manuel Baum's side still play that way. All six of their most recent matches produced three or more goals. All six saw Augsburg score at least twice. Five of the six finished with both sides on the scoresheet.
Augsburg have 8 points from their last six, Union Berlin 7, and the two sides got there by completely different routes. Augsburg scored 16 and conceded 12. Union scored 3 and conceded 14.
Union's recent run splits in half. Three clean sheets, three games without a goal of their own. Mauro Lustrinelli's side held Borussia Dortmund to a 0-0 at home 7 days before this fixture and beat SV 07 Elversberg 1-0 at home the week before that, but earlier came a 0-7 defeat away to FC Bayern München, a 1-3 home loss to FC Schalke 04 and a 0-4 away defeat at Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
