Overview

• Coach Sandro Wagner confirmed he will alter the starting XI for Saturday’s home game against VfL Wolfsburg.
• He said he will not change his coaching philosophy despite recent results and called for more responsibility from his players.
• Augsburg are in the relegation playoff spot on three points after four straight defeats, including 1:4 to Mainz and 1:2 at Heidenheim.
• Another loss would extend the skid to five matches and match the club’s negative record for consecutive defeats.
• Benjamin Weber publicly backed Wagner’s project, and captain Jeffrey Gouweleeuw remains sidelined long term with a knee injury.
