Augsburg Team Overview
🔴 In their first home match of the season, Augsburg engaged in a thrilling battle with title favorites Bayern Munich (2-3). Sandro Wagner's side suffered a narrow defeat but showed great character, coming back from a three-goal deficit. The starting lineup remained unchanged from their victory over Freiburg in the opening round (3-1). Throughout the game, the Fuggerstädter played boldly, applying pressure on the favorites. Until the 28th minute, Augsburg played openly until Bayern scored their first goal. The visitors netted their second during the fourth minute of first-half stoppage time.
⚪ The start of the second half was challenging for Augsburg: in the 48th minute, Olise scored a third goal after the first dangerous attack following the break. However, the hosts quickly responded: just five minutes later, Kristijan Jakić reduced the deficit to two goals after a pass from Robin Fellhauer, reinvigorating both players and fans. Augsburg maintained their pressure and were rewarded in the 76th minute when Jakić provided an assist to Mert Kömür, who shot past three Bayern defenders to find the net. In the 90th minute, Kömür had a chance to equalize, but his header went just wide. Despite the potential for an epic comeback, Augsburg couldn't level the score.

Latest news
St. Pauli
🎙 Head Coach Alexander Blessin: "We're obviously very proud and happy after the win. We deserved it. In the first five minutes, we had some issues with marking, especially on long balls, but then our positional play improved. The same happened in the first ten minutes after the break, and during that period, the game could have turned. We got a bit lucky with the goal that was disallowed for offside. It was just a matter of centimeters. However, looking at the game overall, we controlled it well. We moved correctly and created chances. We could have scored more, but overall, we're pleased with the performance and the victory."
📝 St. Pauli have loaned right winger Scott Banks to Blackpool, a club in England's League One. Meanwhile, the "Browns" have bolstered their attacking line by signing Martin Kaars from Magdeburg. The 26-year-old Dutchman scored 19 goals and provided six assists in the 2. Bundesliga last season.
❌ Team captain Jackson Irvine is back in action and may feature in the upcoming match. However, center-back David Nemeth suffered a left adductor tendon injury during training and underwent surgery on Wednesday - he won't be playing anytime soon.
Augsburg
🎙 Head coach Sandro Wagner after the clash with Bayern: "It was a tense match, where we set numerous specific goals for each phase of the game. We weren't attentive enough to the goals conceded, but in some moments, we executed our plan well, especially when in possession. Of course, it's frustrating not to get a reward for this game, which ended in defeat, leaving me disappointed. However, in some ways, the team can still hold their heads high."
💰 On the final day of the transfer window, Augsburg signed 21-year-old forward Ismaël Gharbi from Portuguese side Braga on loan until the end of the season with an option to buy. Additionally, the club bolstered their attacking line by signing Fabian Rieder from French club Rennes.
📝 Meanwhile, the team loaned out several players: Steve Mounié to Turkish club Alanyaspor, Tim Breithaupt to Düsseldorf's Fortuna, and Kylian Dong, who joined the team as a free agent this summer, moved to French second-division side Pau until the end of the season.
❌ As the weekend approaches, there are still questions regarding the squad lineup. Mert Kömür continues training after a toe injury, but his participation in the match will be decided later, as will the involvement of Marius Wolf, Robin Fellhauer, and Alexis Claude-Maurice, who also returned to training this week. Augsburg will definitely be without Keven Schlotterbeck and Dimitris Giannoulis, who will miss the game due to injuries.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Harm Osmers has been appointed as the referee for the St. Pauli vs Augsburg match. Over his last 10 games, he has averaged 4.2 yellow cards per match. In both head-to-head encounters last season, Augsburg received more cautions than their opponents. Early this season, St. Pauli also lag behind their rivals in terms of yellow cards in the first two rounds. Nevertheless, we predict that this match will feature over 3.5 yellow cards, a trend that has occurred in 7 of St. Pauli's last 8 Bundesliga matches.
⚽ Goal Prediction
We anticipate that both teams will score (yes) in this matchup. Both St. Pauli and Augsburg have shown attacking prowess alongside defensive vulnerabilities. Despite St. Pauli's clean sheet in the last round, they have conceded in five consecutive home Bundesliga matches since the end of last season.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Last season's clashes saw the "Brown-and-Whites" have the upper hand in corners: St. Pauli averaged 5 corners, while Augsburg had 4. In the new season, St. Pauli continue to outshine their opponents on set-pieces, earning 5 corners each against Borussia and Hamburg. Augsburg also makes effective use of set-pieces, with 5 corners against Freiburg and 7 against Bayern. Given the teams' high productivity in this area, our prediction is over 9.5 corners in the match.
Editor's Prediction
Aside from their victory over Hamburg, St. Pauli showed grit in their opening match against Borussia, proving that no team leaves the Millerntor Stadium with easy points-neither three nor one.
Augsburg also impressed in their first-round away game and nearly staged a comeback against Bayern in the second round. Clearly, the upcoming clash promises to be a tough and exciting encounter for all German football enthusiasts.
We predict a draw for this match, so our call is: St. Pauli will not lose. Let's not forget that the "Browns" were the second-best team last season in terms of the fewest goals conceded. A likely scoreline is 1-1.
