Bayer 04 have a score to settle at the WWK ARENA after losing 2-0 there on Matchday 13 of last season. Against an Augsburg side who are strong at home - FCA are unbeaten in 12 of their last 13 games on home turf - left-back Miguel Gutiérrez could be key. The Spaniard delivered the most crosses from open play in the Bundesliga over the first two matchdays (16) and set up two of the goals in the 4-0 win over Union Berlin. Only Gutiérrez's predecessor and compatriot Alejandro Grimaldo has achieved that in one match for the Werkself so far this year.
A different calibre might await the Werkself in Swabia: Augsburg lead the Bundesliga table for the first time after the best start to a season in the club's history, with six points and a goal difference of +6. The Fuggerstädter not only boast the joint-best attack in the league, but have also been the best tacklers in the German top flight so far. The squad contains depth and balance - alongside seasoned pros like Michael Gregoritsch and Fabian Rieder are young talents such as Anton Kade and Bayern loanee Arijon Ibrahimovic. "You can substitute half the outfield players. Whoever comes on is absolutely top-class," highlighted head coach Manuel Baum. Read more on the hosts in our in-depth opposition profile.

It has been a long time since feeling what it’s like to come away empty-handed. The last – and so far only – defeat of the season, in Elversberg, was two months ago. Since then, Bayer 04 have followed that up with seven wins and a draw. Now it has happened again away to TSG Hoffenheim. As the match progressed, the Werkself grew in confidence and “could even have scored the opening goal”, as Robert Andrich said after the game. In the end, it was the side from Sinsheim who sealed a 3–0 victory after “hectic closing stages” (kicker). The Werkself review.
