Augsburg Team News

Augsburg didn’t enter the German winter break with high morale after three consecutive failures in the Bundesliga. Their only obtained point in that stretch came from a 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund. Despite a recent 0-3 loss to Stuttgart, they bounced back with a 1-0 victory against Hoffenheim in a friendly match.

After narrowly avoiding relegation last season, Augsburg currently sits in 11th place in the Bundesliga. A win against Leverkusen could propel them into the top half of the table. Aware of the challenges posed by the unbeaten Leverkusen, they remain optimistic after last season’s victories against them.

Augsburg looks forward to returning to the WWK Arena, where they’ve secured a significant portion of their points this season. Injuries sideline Raphael Framberger, Tomas Koubek, and Reece Oxford, while Iago and Frederik Winther are doubtful. Mads Pedersen is suspended, potentially leading to Robert Gumny playing as a left-back.

Ermedin Demirović, with eight goals in 16 games, is expected to be a key player, and Phillip Tietz aims to end a six-game goal drought.

Bayer Leverkusen Team News

Bayer Leverkusen is the only undefeated team among Europe’s top leagues this season, with 13 wins and three draws in 16 Bundesliga matches, securing a record-breaking 42 points. Under Xabi Alonso’s leadership, they concluded 2023 with three convincing victories, including a 4-0 home win against Bochum before the winter break.

In 25 competitive matches this season, Leverkusen has yet to suffer a defeat, setting a new record at the beginning of the German season. With a win against Hoffenheim, they could enter Saturday’s match one point ahead of Bayern, and a victory against Augsburg would restore a four-point lead before facing RB Leipzig. Their players began the New Year with a 4-1 friendly win against Venezia.

Regarding absent players, Victor Boniface is injured, and Arthur is sidelined, while Amine Adli, Odilon Kossounou, and Edmond Tapsoba are with their national teams for the African Cup of Nations. Therefore, Josip Stanisic and Piero Hincapie may start in defense, with Patrick Schick being crucial in the attack alongside Jonas Hofmann and Florian Wirtz.
