Player to watch – Cédric Zesiger

Swiss defender Cédric Zesiger has been a big hit since moving to Augsburg in January and remarkably, Die Fuggerstädter didn’t concede a single goal in any of the eight matches Zesiger has started since his switch.

Zesiger has been superb

Zesiger, who is expected to join Augsburg permanently from Wolfsburg in the summer, has been averaging 6.80 clearances per game in the Bundesliga for Die Fuggerstädter, and the 26-year-old’s defensive prowess could be key for the visitors again on Saturday.
