Bayer Leverkusen welcomes Augsburg to the Bay Arena for this second round match in the German Bundesliga. The home team started their campaign of with a 1-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund in their first match and will be desperate to bounce back with a win. Leverkusen will be trying to avoid three successive defeats after also being knocked out of the German Cup by Bundesliga 3 side Elversberg. Their recent results have been surprising considering they had a decent pre-season which included three wins and a draw. Leverkusen will need an urgent improvement in form if they are to replicate their performance of last season when they finished in third place. They have only won two of their last six matches across all competitions with three losses and one draw. Leverkusen have proven difficult to beat at home as they have won four of their last six matches with one draw and one loss.

Augsburg also started their Bundesliga campaign with a loss as they were defeated 4-0 by Freiburg. The visitors will be looking to finish in the top half of the table for the first time in eight years. Last season they finished in 14th place, just five points above the relegation zone. Augsburg had a poor pre-season where they only won one of their five matches. Their away record is also poor as they have only won three of their last 11 matches on the road. Augsburg have lost seven of their last eight matches against Leverkusen with one draw.
