Augsburg will need to keep Ritsu Doan in check if they're to return to winning ways at home to Arminia Bielefeld on Saturday. Read our reasons for Augsburg vs Bielefeld prediction and betting tips.
Augsburg suffered a 1-0 loss to rock-bottom Schalke last time out - their third reverse in five league matches. They begin the weekend in 11th place, only six points clear of the relegation play-off spot currently occupied by Hertha Berlin. With six rounds of fixtures to go, Heiko Herrlich's side is by no means out of the woods just yet. Scoring goals has been their biggest problem: Die Fuggerstädter is the fourth-lowest for goals league-wide, ahead of the current bottom three. Augsburg has won their last two home games in a row. They haven’t won three on the spin for two years.
Florian Niederlechner, who top-scored with 13 last term, has only found the net three times, while Iceland international Alfred Finnbogason has scarcely been out of the treatment room. In better news, former German international Andre Hahn is doing an admirable job as the makeshift striker, with seven goals over the season. Daniel Caligiuri has also chipped in with five from midfield but has only found the net once across his last 18 appearances. Tobias Strobl could be recalled at the expense of Rani Khedira in the middle of the park, while Laszlo Benes and Marco Richter compete for the place behind Hahn in the attack. Left-back Iago is still out.
Augsburg: Gikiewicz - Framberger, Gouweeleeuw (c), Uduokhai, Gumny - Strobl, Gruezo - Caligiuri, Benes, Vargas - Hahn
Out: Iago (ankle)
Doubtful: Civeja (pelvis), Jensen (thigh), Moravek (match fitness)
Coach: Heiko Herrlich
Bielefeld travels to upper Bavaria on the back of a priceless 1-0 win over Freiburg. The result moved them temporarily out of the relegation zone, only for ensuing results to land them in the relegation play-off spot on goal difference. A third win in seven matches under head coach Frank Kramer could lift them as high as 14th; a third defeat could send them back a place into the automatic drop zone, with pivotal games against Schalke and Hertha still to come. Doan remains key to Arminia's survival prospects, the Japan international having produced a team-leading four goals and two assists in his first season of Bundesliga football.
After Doan, veteran striker Fabian Klos is Bielefeld's next best for goals with three. Arminia is unbeaten in two away games under Kramer (W1, D1). Compatriot Masaya Okugawa is also looking the part after joining the club on a short-term loan deal from Red Bull Salzburg. It was his shot that was deflected in by Freiburg's Baptiste Santamaria last time out - the 25-year-old midfielder's second goal involvement in seven Bundesliga appearances to date - and there's little to suggest Kramer will stray from his winning formula at the WWK Arena.
Bielefeld: Ortega - Brunner, Pieper, Nilsson, Lucoqui - Okugawa, Prietl, Maier - Doan - Klos (c), Voglsammer
Out: Cordova (not included), Yabo (not included)
Doubtful: -
Coach: Frank Kramer

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
