Match Prediction: FC Augsburg 2-1 VfL Wolfsburg

FC Augsburg, despite a string of losses, showed resilience in their win against SC Freiburg. Their attacking play could exploit Wolfsburg's defensive vulnerabilities, especially after Wolfsburg's recent struggles to secure wins. 

Augsburg's home advantage might boost their confidence, allowing them to press high and create scoring opportunities.

VfL Wolfsburg's inconsistent form, marked by draws and losses, suggests a team struggling to find rhythm. Their recent performances indicate a reliance on counterattacks, which may be less effective against Augsburg's aggressive style. Wolfsburg will need to tighten their defence to counter Augsburg's momentum and capitalise on any transitional moments.

FC Augsburg's recent form has been challenging, with four straight league losses. However, their victory against SC Freiburg away from home indicates potential for a strong performance. 

This win could serve as a catalyst, boosting morale and tactical execution against Wolfsburg. Augsburg's ability to score despite their losses suggests they remains a threat offensively.

• Loss: 0-1 vs RB Leipzig (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Borussia Dortmund (A)
