Matchday 26 in the German Bundesliga sees struggling Wolfsburg looking to snap a disappointing winless run when they host ninth-place Augsburg on Saturday. Wolfsburg, currently 13th-place with 25 points, find themselves tied with 15th-placed Bochum with a seven point lead over the relegation zone. They come into this matchup riding a 10 match winless run with their last triumph coming all the way back in December of 2023. Last time out, the Wolves fell to a 2-0 away defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, their second loss in a row. Manager Nico Kovac may very well be playing for his job on Saturday as another defeat could motivate the board to make a change before a potential relegation threat starts to develop. The upshot for the hosts is that their results at the Volkswagen-Arena have been decent, as they average 1.33 points per game compared to 0.69 on the road.

Augsburg have shot into the top half of the standings after a purple patch of form in recent weeks. They’re currently experiencing their best streak of the season after a 1-0 home win over Heidenheim last weekend made it three wins in a row. With their record of 8-8-9, Augsburg are now sitting ninth in the standings with a points total of 32. Fans will be hoping their team can maintain this same type of form in the final nine games and make a late-season push for Europe. As things stand, Fuggerstädter currently trails sixth-place Frankfurt by eight points. The visitors have been no stranger to high-scoring matches this season with 40 goals scored and 41 goals conceded giving them an average of 3.24 goals per game. Their last away trip saw them blast six past Darmstadt in a thrilling 6-0 victory.
