Overview
- After opening the Bundesliga with a 3-0 win over Schalke and a 4-1 victory at Eintracht Frankfurt, Augsburg leads the table following two matchdays.
- The club will host Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday at 15:30 with the game set to be shown on Sky.
- Coach Manuel Baum has urged fans to 'Lasst euch überraschen' and warned reporters about Leverkusen's high quality while saying Augsburg wants to make its stadium an unpleasant place for visitors.
- Leverkusen started the season with a surprise loss at Elversberg and then answered with a 4-0 home win over Union Berlin, illustrating early-season volatility for both sides.
- Augsburg has never begun a top-flight campaign with three straight wins, and a third victory would boost confidence, strengthen home momentum, and test whether the club can sustain its unexpected position near the top of the table.
