Augsburg and FC Koln get the ball rolling in round 24 of the German Bundesliga when they lock horns at the WWK Arena on Friday. Lukas Kwasniok’s men, who are unbeaten in their last six games against the home side, will aim to extend this fine streak as they look to pull clear of the danger zone.

A resurgent Augsburg side were involved in a five-goal thriller with Wolfsburg last Saturday as they secured a 3-2 victory when the two teams squared off at the Volkswagen Arena.

Manuel Baum’s men have now won four of their most recent five games, scoring eight goals and conceding six, having failed to taste victory in the five matches preceding this run.

Augsburg have picked up 28 points from their 23 Bundesliga matches so far to sit 10th in the league table, level on points with ninth-placed Union Berlin.

Meanwhile, Koln continue to struggle for results in the bottom half of the table as they played out a 2-2 draw with Hoffenheim at the RheinEnergieStadion last Saturday.

Kwasniok’s have now failed to taste victory in three consecutive games, claiming just one point from a possible nine, and have managed just one win in their five outings since January 25.

Koln have picked up 24 points from their 23 Bundesliga matches so far to sit 12th in the league standings, just four points above St. Pauli in the relegation playoff spot.
