Sunday, the 30th day of the Bundesliga ends with a meeting between Augsburg and Cologne. The two formations are not saved mathematically and must still take points.
With 31 points collected in the first 29 meetings of this season, Augsburg only points to 13th place in the ranking. The 15th of the last season therefore seems to be well enough to secure his place in the elite next season but he is only 4 steps ahead of the roadblocker. Since the resumption of the season, he had been beaten at home by Wolfsburg (1-2) then wide winner of Schalke 04 (0-3). However, Heiko Herrlich’s men could not confirm this success by being held in check by the red lantern Paderborn (0-0) and then beaten by Hertha Berlin (2-0) last weekend.
Opposite, Cologne had no other ambition, for its return to the elite after a year spent on the lower floor, than to ensure its maintenance. And Anthony Modeste’s partners are about to do it. With their 34 units in the bag, they are 7 lengths ahead of the dam and therefore should play in the elite next season. However, the promoted have not won for 5 days. After being held in check by Mainz (2-2) and Düsseldorf (2-2), they were defeated by Hoffenheim (3-1) and then by Leipzig (2-4) Monday evening.
The important defender of Augbsourg Gouweleeuw should be back for this meeting after having served his suspension. On the other hand, the potential holder Hahn and the little used Giefer, Asta and Schieber are still not operational. Injured in recent times, the Icelandic international striker Finnbogason is still not sure he can hold his place.
Suspended during the last match, the titular defender Bornauw will be back unlike the important Czichos and the little used Hauptmann, Clemens and Risse who are still stranded in the infirmary. Meanwhile, Colombian striker Jhon Cordoba was injured on Monday after scoring his 12th goal of the season. To replace him, Anthony Modeste should be aligned from the start.
The two teams left back to back in the first leg (1-1).
The match will take place behind closed doors.
Far from being convincing in his last performances, Augsburg could lose new points at home against Cologne on Sunday. Draw or win Cologne!
