Wolfsburg beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 away from home in their last game via quickfire second-half goals from Lukas Nmecha and Maximilian Arnold. The win last weekend ended an eight-game winless run for the visitors.
Die Wolfe sit seventh in the Bundesliga with 16 points from 10 games and a negative goal difference of one. With back-to-back wins in the bag, they will be looking to continue their run on Saturday.

Like their hosts, Augsburg ended a poor run of form with a victory in their last league game. They beat Stuttgart 4-1 last weekend, ending a run of five games without a win across all competitions.
Fuggerstädter currently sit 16th in the league table, the relegation playoff spot, with nine points from 10 games. They will be looking to pick up back-to-back league wins for the first time since last year when they face Wolfsburg at the weekend.
