Augsburg vs Wolfsburg prediction, preview, team news and more | Bundesliga 2020-21
High-flying Wolfsburg travel to the WWK Arena to face Augsburg in a Bundesliga clash on Saturday.
Wolfsburg are third in the Bundesliga and have been impressive in recent weeks. In their last Bundesliga game, they beat Freiburg 3-0 with goals from John Brooks, Wout Weghorst and Yannick Gerhardt.
They followed that up with a 1-0 win in the DFB-Pokal against Schalke, with Weghorst scoring the only goal in that game.
Wolfsburg have 35 points in 19 games so far, but only three points separate them from seventh-placed Borussia Monchengladbach. They know that any slip-ups at this stage of the season could prove to be costly in terms of their ambitions.
Augsburg are in mid-table, but will be uncomfortably looking over their shoulder after a recent poor run of form.
They have 22 points from 19 games, and are currently 13th in the standings. That has left them just five points above Arminia Bielefeld, who occupy the relegation playoff spot.
Last weekend, Augsburg took the lead against Borussia Dortmund, but eventually lost 3-1.
