"Augsburg have a positive home record. It's always unpleasant to play there. Very physical, very present. They go for the second balls. They have a good mix, because there's a lot of individual quality there too."

Highlights: Bochum 1-1 Augsburg - previous meeting

Moritz Broschinski scored a superb overhead kick as the sides shared the spoils when they last met in February.

Busy keeper

Augsburg goalkeeper Nediljko Labrovic made more saves than any other goalkeeper in a match this season against Bayern Munich - 11.

Slow start

Bochum have two points in their opening 11 matches. Only one side in Bundesliga history have fared worse by this stage of the campaign - SpVgg Greuther Fürth, who had a single point after Matchday 11 of 2021/22. They will be hoping to build on signs of improvement under new coach Dieter Hecking to add to that low tally.

Home and away

Augsburg are unbeaten in their past three home matches and have collected 11 of their 12 points so far this season in front of their own fans. Bochum have lost all six of their away fixtures to date in this season's Bundesliga.

Watch: VfB Stuttgart 2-0 Bochum - highlights

Bochum's miserable start to the season continued with defeat at Stuttgart. The rock-bottom Ruhr club remain winless after 11 matches, with some eight points to make up on outright safety.
