Augsburg vs SC Paderborn 07
Augsburg is scheduled to host Paderborn 07 in Week 28 of the Bundesliga. They competed at WWK ARENA. The host tries to maintain momentum after appointing a new coach.
Yes, Augsburg has just appointed Heiko Herrlich and managed to achieve a sweet result, 3-0, over Schalke 04 last weekend. They did appear effective with 7 shots on target despite only controlling 33% possession, while the host only fired 2 shots. Achieving three numbers also helped them move up to 12th with a distance of six digits from the red zone.
The contrasting condition experienced by Paderborn 07 which is currently not moving from the rank of caretaker. They also played last weekend, but could only achieve a 1-1 draw against TSG Hoffenheim. In fact, this draw makes them never win since February, to be exact up to 8 consecutive Bundesliga matches (3D 5L).
That momentum will be utilized by Augsburg. After all, they also had won with a score of 0-1 when they visited in early November, while three meetings at WWK were swept clean with a 7-0 aggregate. So, this is the best opportunity for Augsburg to maintain their dominance, while continuing the sweet story with a new coach.
