FC Augsburg – Hamburger SV

Augsburg, currently third in the table with seven points from two wins and a draw and a comfortable 9‑3 goal difference, will host a struggling Hamburger SV side that sit 18th, still winless after three defeats and a dismal 0‑12 deficit. The hosts will look to extend their unbeaten run and solidify their position near the top, while the visitors will be desperate to snap a season‑opening losing streak. Their head‑to‑head record this campaign offers no relief for Hamburg, as Augsburg have already proven the stronger side in recent encounters. All eyes will be on whether Augsburg can maintain their momentum or if Hamburg can produce a surprise to halt their slide.
