• Augsburg are without a Bundesliga win in seven matches. They boast the Bundesliga’s second-worst home record and face another challenging task here.
• Wolfsburg have picked up 13 points from their last five league matches and are in great form at the moment. Having won three of their last four matches on the road, they will be confident of getting another result in front of the winter break.
• Expect this to be a competitive game, with Wolfsburg possibly able to edge another narrow win.
