You have to go back three years for Augsburg’s last victory over VfB. They have not even managed to score against the Cannstatt club in the three meetings since, slipping to 1-0 defeats in each of the last two. Mario Gomez scored the winner on Matchday 23 of last term, while Anastasios Donis netted the only goal in this season’s corresponding fixture.

Martin Schmidt replaced Manuel Baum in the Augsburg hot seat last week, making FCA the sixth club to change their coach this season. After turning 52 last Friday, the former Mainz and Wolfsburg boss enjoyed a perfect start to his reign on Sunday as the Bavarian club won 3-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt.
