Both Augsburg and Wolfsburg are looking for a rare win to build confidence ahead of their meeting in the Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon. Indeed, both teams have won just once in their opening five league matches so far this season.
Augsburg are stuck in the relegation play-off place, after losing 2-1 away at Heidenheim last time out. Meanwhile, Wolfsburg were also defeated in the previous round of fixtures, losing 1-0 at home to RB Leipzig.

Player to watch: Samuel Essende
Samuel Essende managed to get himself on the scoresheet when Augsburg last played on home soil, albeit a consolation goal as his team lost 4-1 to Mainz. Nonetheless, the striker should be given the opportunity to lead the line once again, and so the Wolfsburg defence will have to try and keep him quiet as they prepare to take on Augsburg on Saturday afternoon.
