Just three points separate Augsburg and Wolfsburg going into their meeting on Saturday 15 March at 15:30 CET. Last weekend, FCA celebrated a 1-0 win at Borussia Dortmund, which lifted them to 11th in the table. But the Wolves also remain hard to beat – it’s now seven Bundesliga games unbeaten for the Green-and-Whites, although they had to settle for a point with a 1-1 draw against promoted side St. Pauli on the last matchday. VfL currently occupy seventh place in the table, just one outside the European spots.
