Augsburg will host Hamburger at WWK Arena on Saturday in another round of the 2025-26 Bundesliga campaign. The home side, who sit 15th in the league table, are in poor form at the moment and could end the gameweek in the relegation zone should they fail to pick up a result on Saturday.
They suffered a 3-2 defeat away at Stuttgart before the international break, heading into the break with the scores level at 2-2 before their opponents netted the winner 10 minutes from normal time, leaving Augsburg with seven points after 10 matches.
Hamburger have also hit a rough patch in the Bundesliga of late and will be targeting a positive return to action this weekend. They picked up a valuable point in their 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund last time out and had looked destined for defeat after falling behind midway through the second half before Ransford Yeboah Königsdörffer headed home a crucial equalizer in the 97th minute to send the home fans into raptures.
The visitors sit two places and two points above their weekend opponents in the league table and will hope to at least retain that advantage by the end of the round.

Augsburg vs Hamburger Prediction
Fuggerstädter have lost their last four games on the trot and have managed just one league win since their opening-day victory over Freiburg. They have lost their last three home games by an aggregate scoreline of 8-0 and must make improvements across the board this weekend.
Similarly, Die Rothosen are without a win in their last four league outings, losing three times in that period. They are winless on the road in the league this season and could see that streak extend on Saturday.
Prediction: Augsburg 1-0 Hamburger
