After a torrid run of form at the start of the year, Merlin Polzin’s side have managed to steady the ship, although consistency remains their biggest challenge.
They failed to win a single match in January but responded well the following month, recording two victories and a draw.
Augsburg have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last three matches.
However, their form dipped again last month, with just one win from five Bundesliga outings, including three defeats, highlighting the need to pick up more points, especially at home.
Hamburger SV have secured five wins at the Volksparkstadion this season but are winless in their last three home matches, which will be a concern for Polzin heading into this clash.
Augsburg endured a disastrous start to the season, losing four of their opening five matches, but have gradually turned things around as the campaign has progressed.
Manuel Baum’s side showed encouraging form at the start of the year, picking up two wins and two draws from five Bundesliga games in January.
Both teams have scored in six of Hamburg's last seven matches.
The Fuggerstadter then hit a rich vein of form between late January and February, winning five of six matches to propel themselves closer to the top half of the table.
However, their recent form is a concern, with three consecutive defeats, and the international break may have come at the right time to regroup and halt their mini slump.
Defensive issues remain a major worry, with Augsburg conceding 50 goals this season, including nine in their last three matches, and they will need to tighten up at the back against Hamburger SV to avoid another setback.
