STATISTICS

  • The league’s most efficient side: Borussia have averaged a goal every six shots in the Bundesliga this season.
  • Lars Stindl scored his first brace as a substitute in the 3-2 defeat to Leverkusen at the weekend. The 34-year-old, however, picked up his fifth yellow card of the season, meaning he will miss Wednesday’s trip to Augsburg.
  • Marcus Thuram is the Foals' top scorer this season with ten goals. He has also had 17 big chances, the most of any player in the league, and almost as many as FC Augsburg in total.
  • Augsburg’s recent 4-3 defeat to Dortmund now leaves them eight league games without a win (3 draws, 5 defeats). This is currently the longest winless run in the league.
  • FCA are currently bottom of the home table after picking up just five points so far this season. Their only win at the WWK Arena came over local rivals FC Bayern (1-0). Following the win over the league leaders, Maaßen’s side have drawn two and lost two at home.
  • Borussia have averaged 53% possession this season which puts them in the top four in the league in this category. Augsburg, on the other hand, have averaged just 40% possession, the lowest of any side in the league.
  • FCA have contested the most duels of any side this season. The Foals, however, have a better duels won rate, having won 52% of their duels to Augsburg’s 47%.
