Hamburger SV – FC Augsburg

Hamburger SV host a struggling FC Augsburg in what promises to be a stark contrast of form, with the Hamburg side sitting 18th on zero points after three defeats and a 0‑12 goal tally. Augsburg arrive third, unbeaten with two wins and a draw, having scored nine and conceded just three. The disparity in recent results suggests the Bavarians will look to extend their unbeaten run, while the hosts will be desperate to secure their first point of the campaign. A positive result for Hamburg could be a crucial catalyst to halt their slide, whereas Augsburg will aim to cement their position near the top of the table.
