FC Augsburg have signed seven new players in the winter transfer window, more than any other Bundesliga club. Ask about the many new faces in the FCA squad, Xabi Alonso said: "Of course, the new signings make it more difficult to predict their line-up. But their style of play remains the same: They play with very high intensity and aggression. We know what we'll have to do."
FC Augsburg have lost twice on the road in the league in 2023 (3-4 in Dortmund, 1-3 in Freiburg) but they secured a 1-0 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach at home at the WWK Arena. "They had good energy in the home game against Gladbach," said Alonso. "Tomorrow it will be important to take the lead and to make as few mistakes as possible."
Alonso said the match in Augsburg has come too early for Charles Aránguiz, currently working on his own, but it is possible that Patrik Schick may be in the matchday squad. "Patrik trained with the team this week. We’ll see if he will involved tomorrow," explained Alonso ahead of the final pre-match training session in the afternoon.
Xabi Alonso took over the helm at Bayer 04 at the start of October with the club fifteenth in the Bundesliga on eight points from nine games. Under the Spanish coach, the Werkself have picked up twice as many points (16) in the nine following matches. "The first part of the season wasn't easy and now we want to continue to improve," said Alonso. Talking about the potential targets for the season and a final position in a European spot, the 41-year-old said: "We have to be realistic. It will be difficult but we’ll give our all and then see where we end up. It's always important to think about one challenge to the next, and from game to game."
648 away tickets have been sold to Bayer 04 fans. Anyone without a ticket, who wants to support the Werkself at the WWK Arena, can buy tickets for the away section from the Bayer 04 mobile fan shop at the stadium. Please note cash payments only will be accepted.

The Bundesliga home game against VfL Wolfsburg in the first half of the season was one of those classic ‘days to forget’ for Bayer 04 Women. It started with goalkeeper Charlotte Voll being shown a red card in the first minute of the game, and following a further sending-off, coach Roberto Pätzold's 9-women side ended up losing 5-1 to last season's runners-up. At 18.30 CET on Sunday, they'll have the chance to exact revenge at the AOK Stadium - and pick up valuable points in the race for third place.

After full time in the 1-1 draw against FC Bayern Munich, the Bayer 04 fans first had to catch their breath. Firstly because of their usual loud support, and secondly because of the great drama they'd witnessed on the pitch: three disallowed goals, two red cards and a Werkself side who "again produced a very good performance against strong opponents", as head coach Kasper Hjulmand described. The Dane was particularly enthused by the performance of young Montrell Culbreath, while Patrik Schick got to enjoy his 200th appearance under the Cross. The Werkself Review unpacks the action.
