After a blowout victory in the DFB-Pokal got their season off to a bright start, a blowout loss in the Bundesliga brought Augsburg crashing back to earth. Since then, results have skewed decidedly on the down side.
But the chance to add a second top-flight win of the season likely does not come better than this over the coming weeks and they will be determined to ensure they can take away another three-point haul to finish the weekend.
Predicted Augsburg starting XI: Gikiewicz; Bauer, Gouweleeuw, Gumny; Pedersen, Maier, Rexhbecaj, Iago; Jensen; Demirovic, Vargas.
| Position | Hertha BSC roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Christensen, Ernst, Jarstein |
| Defenders | Pekarík, Rogel, Uremović, Kenny, Mittelstädt, Kempf, Plattenhardt, Dárdai, Zeefuik, Eitschberger, Gechter |
| Midfielders | Darida, Serdar, Boëtius, Boateng, Tousart, Šunjić |
| Forwards | Selke, Maolida, Lukebakio, Kanga, Jovetić, Richter, Nsona, Lee, Scherhant, Ejuke, Ngankam |
If their hosts think they've had it tough, then spare a thought for Hertha, whose miserable start to the new campaign will require drastic action - on or off the pitch - sooner rather than later.
Already eliminated from DFB-Pokal contention by second-tier Eintracht Braunschweig, they've garnered a lone point, in a surprise draw with Champions League outfit Eintracht Frankfurt - but otherwise, the going has been tough in the capital.
Predicted Hertha BSC starting XI: Christensen; Kenny, Uremovic, Kempf, Plattenhardt; Boetius, Tousart, Serdar; Lukebakio, Jovetic, Ejuke.
