On Wednesday, Augsburg goes to the Arminia Bielefeld pitch for the 12th day of the Bundesliga. Arminia must take points in the perspective of maintenance while Augsburg hopes to move up to the 1st part of the classification.
Arrived at the top of the Bundesliga 2 championship last season, the Arminia Bielefeld is unable, for the moment, to put itself at the level of the elite. With 7 points taken since the start of this new exercise, the club is in 16th position, already 4 units behind the first non-relegation. Above all, the Blues have lost 8 times in the last 9 days. After being defeated 7 times, the promoted had won an important victory against Mainz (2-1). But this joy was short-lived since they were then beaten by Friborg (2-0) on Saturday afternoon.
For its part, Augsburg is in the soft underbelly of the ranking, in 11th place, with 13 points in the bag. But with only one victory in the last 8 days, the club of former Rennes goalkeeper Thomas Koubek hardly advances in the standings. Lately, they were held in check by Mönchengladabch (1-1) and Friborg (1-1) before losing to Hoffenheim (3-1). Sunday, they narrowly avoided the defeat by the red lantern, Schalke 04 (2-2) by equalizing in added time.
At Arminia, framework defenders Pieper and Laursen, substitute midfielder Maier, youngster Niemann and last year’s important striker Voglsammer are all out of shape. With 8 goals scored, this team is the second least effective in this championship. Only Japanese midfielder Doan, scorer last week, has scored more than 2 goals this season.
On the Augsburg side, important Moravek, Icelandic striker Finnbogason, substitute Sarenren-Bazee as well as top scorer Hahn are all on the sidelines at the moment. Moreover, the important Niederlechner will be suspended after being excluded this weekend. Very high profile in recent weeks, the very good midfielder Caligiuri has scored 4 goals since the start of the season.
The match will be played behind closed doors.
Coaches have the possibility of making 5 substitutions during the game.
This meeting between two teams in bad shape could be quite closed and end in a draw. Draw!
