The Werkself have not lost a single Bundesliga match at FC Augsburg with a record of seven wins and four draws in favour of the Black and Reds. No other team in the history of the Bundesliga has played another side at home without winning as often as Augsburg against the Werkself. FCA do not have a lower points average against another side as they do with Bayer 04 (0.43) and the Werkself in turn do not have a higher percentage of wins (65%) and a bigger points average (2.26) against any other current team in Germany's top flight as they do against Augsburg.
They made a frenetic start to the new calendar year in the 4-3 defeat in Dortmund when they showed their ability to take blows as they got back into the game three times after going behind. It was annoying for FC Augsburg that they lost the game but does not take anything away from the impressive overall impression the team left behind. They followed up this performance a few days later with a 1-0 home win against Borussia Mönchengladbach. After eight games in succession without a win, FC Augsburg were once again finally able to pick up three points against the Foals. It was their second win on their home ground this season – the first was in September of last year when they beat Bayern Munich 1-0. Click here for the lowdown on our next opponents.
