BIG WIN FOR AUGSBURG
Only their second win by three goals all season, and a crucial one at that as Augsburg narrow the gap on their opponents to two points, and pull three away from the relegation zone, with a game in hand. A big win for Augsburg. Huge.

FLOURISH TO FINISH
A succession of shots from Wolfsburg, but it is too little too late, you fear, particularly since Gikiewicz has no intention of blotting his and Augsburg's copybook.
85'
WIND DENIED AGAIN
Gikiewicz again takes the Wind out of Wolfsburg's sails, making another save at close quarters.
84'
UNEXPECTEDLY PROLIFIC
They may have been without their two top scorers, but Augsburg have scored more than two goals today for only the second time this season, after their 4-1 win over VfB Stuttgart on Matchday 10.
81'
ANOTHER OVATION
For another man with one goal and one assist today, this time Florian Niederlechner leaving the field with Hahn entering the fray.
79'
WIND WIDE
That effort from Jonas Wind which flies wide of the left-hand post sums up Wolfsburg's afternoon.
MADS!

ALL CHANGE
15 minutes left, time for an overhaul of the Wolfsburg team with three changes made - can they recover three goals?
74'
STANDING OVATION
One goal, one assist - nobody Mads with Pedersen today as he leaves the field.
69'
PICK THAT ONE OUT!
And it's three! Pedersen drills a shot into the top left-hand corner from Niederlechner's pass, and Augsburg are on course for all three points. What a sweet strike that was!
67'
DROUGHT OVER
That was Niederlechner's first goal in 2022, and his first since Matchday 10. All his four goals this season have come at home.
66'
ALL-OUT ATTACK
A forward on for a defender, Lukebakio replaces Bornauw and it's now all-out attack for the Wolves.
65'
WIND BLOCKS ARNOLD EFFORT
Arnold has been a protagonist at both ends and his shot is blocked by Wind.
63'
FLO DOUBLES UP
Niederlechner doubles Augsburg's lead, turning in at the far post after Oxford nodded a corner down, Arnold this time powerless to stop him.
62'
OFF THE LINE!
Arnold sets the captain's example, clearing off the line after Oxford's header was missed by Gouweleeuw, but almost went in anyway!

BAD OMEN
Wolfsburg have not won any of their past 50 games in which they were behind at the break, dating back to February 2017, when they came from 1-0 down to beat Hoffenheim 2-1. They have drawn 10 and lost 40.
57'
CALIGIURI SKIES IT!
Iago lets the ball pass to Caligiuri, but he sends his shot flying over the crossbar - that was an excellent opportunity for Augsburg!

DORSCH REMOVED
After that early yellow card and almost a second just before the break, Weinzierl has opted to take Dorsch off and Gruezo takes his place at the start of this second half.

HOSTS HOLDING ON
Augsburg lead at the break, but aside from the first and the last minute of the half, it was Wolfsburg asking all the questions. Nevertheless, Iago's goal is the difference between the two teams at the break.

PEPI CLOSE!
A good break for Augsburg and Pedersen manages to thread the ball through for Pepi, but his shot is blocked! Good finish to the half from Augsburg.
44'
JUST TWO SHOTS
Pepi has what is only Augsburg's second shot of the game, with a deflection taking it behind for a corner.

WORD IN REUTER'S EAR
The referee gives Augsburg's sporting director Stefan Reuter a talking to as the hosts start to look a little nervous, with Wolfsburg getting on top.

WOLVES HARD DONE BY
xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals> xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals> goals).

KRUSE SHOT BLOCKED
Kruse calls for a penalty after his shot is blocked by an Augsburg arm. Wolfsburg are growing into this game now.
24'
GIKIEWICZ TO THE RESCUE
An outstanding save from Gikiewicz after Nmecha skipped to the side of Oxford and had only the Augsburg goalkeeper to beat.
21'
STARTING TO GET SCRAPPY
A lot of misplaced passes that could be put down to the nerves, with the stakes so high for both sides. The pace of the game is high too, with an urgency on both sides to win, and that's leading to things turning a bit scrappy.
16'
SCHLAGER HOOKS OVER
A second shot of the game for Wolfsburg with Schlager unable to wrap his boot around the ball which fell just behind him, and he can only hook it over.

OXFORD RETURNS
He's shaken off that knock and is back on the field, with Augsburg continuing to impress.
7'
DOWN FOR THE COUNT
Reece Oxford has just felt the force of his own goalkeeper Rafal Gikiewicz and the physios are on.
4'
ANOTHER CHANCE
Niederlechner gets to the goal line and his cross is begging to be turned in by Pepi, but Wolfsburg defender Mbabu gets there first and clears just ahead of the line. Almost a second for the hosts!
3'
TOO MUCH ADRENALINE
That goal has given Augsburg a boost, but there was perhaps a bit too much adrenaline in Dorsch's rash challenge which has earned him a yellow card and means he has to walk a tightrope for the best part of 87 more minutes.
2'
FLYING START!
Flying start for Augsburg, with Iago cutting in from the left and, after skipping past a defender, his finish is fantastic, curling into the far corner! What start for the hosts!

OFF WE GO!
Augsburg get the ball rolling.

TEAMS EMERGE
The two teams are lining up for a crucial relegation battle here in Augsburg!
WHERE WILL THE GOALS COME FROM?
Augsburg will be hoping Pepi can provide his first Bundesliga goal this afternoon since both of their top scorers Gregoritsch (seven goals) and Hahn (four) are absent. Only Fürth and Bielefeld have scored fewer than the Bavarians so far this season.
NEITHER NEED A DRAW
What that conversely means is that Wolfsburg could move eight points away from danger by winning in Bavaria today, earning them plenty of breathing space. A draw does little to help either team, on the other hand.
HIGH STAKES
This is a proverbial relegation six-pointer, with Augsburg currently above the relegation zone only on goal difference, and just five points below Wolfsburg. A win for the Bavarians would therefore narrow that gap to two, while putting a bit of daylight between themselves and the bottom three – and they would still have a game in hand on the teams around them.
RENATO RETURNS
Renato Steffen is back in the Wolfsburg starting XI for the first time since Matchday 21, almost two months ago. He replaces the ill Jerome Roussillon in what is the only change compared to Wolfsburg's last Bundesliga fixture.
PEPI ONE OF FIVE CHANGES
Markus Weinzierl makes five changes from his last team selection, including a return to the starting XI for Ricardo Pepi, while Robert Gumny is in for his first start since January.
DOUBLE DUTCH RECORD
Jeffrey Gouweleeuw makes his 156th Bundesliga appearance today and equals his compatriot Paul Verhaegh for the most appearances in an Augsburg shirt for a non-German player.

THE WOLVES HAVE ARRIVED
YOUNG COACH
In the absence of Florian Kohfeldt due to illness, 25-year-old Vincent Heilmann sits in the Wolfsburg dugout today. Only Bernd Stöber was one year younger when he sat on the Saarbrücken bench in 1976, making Heilmann the second-youngest coach in Bundesliga history.
