Augsburg vs Paderborn is a meeting between two teams that are engaged in the dangerous zone of the ranking. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, May 27, 2020, at the WWK Arena in Augsburg.
Augsburg entered the Herrlich era
Augsburg managed an important success last weekend, in the perspective of saving from demotion. The “hand” of the new coach, Heiko Herrlich, started to be seen since the match with Wolfsburg, when the team moved quite well. He lost with a goal received in the extra time. In the victory in the last stage, with Schalke (3-0), I saw a mature team, well placed on the field. For a while, immediately after the first goal, he retired to defense, but when he felt that he had an opponent in front of him on a weak day, he went out to play and gave the decisive blow.
After a weaker period, with six meetings without a victory, everything seems to have changed now and a series can follow that will secure his place for next season. Florian Niederlechner, with eleven goals scored, is the hosts’ top scorer.
Paderborn loses precious points with each passing stage
Paderborn remained the red light of the standings even after the twenty-seventh stage. Even if he did not lose in the last two games, he only managed to collect two points. The differences from the positions that are saved and from the dam are maintained at nine, respectively six points. The stages pass and the chances of rescue decrease more and more. The Bundesliga seems too big a hat for Paderborn, even if it managed some good results. The football practiced, especially when it meets top teams, is a quality one, but it decreases quite a lot when it plays with close teams in value.
On the road he managed to earn ten points. He has two victories, in Freiburg and Bremen, and four draws. He made the best matches in Dortmund (3-3) and Munich, with Bayern (2-3). Streli Mamba is the main scorer, with five goals.
Augsburg vs Paderborn Picks
In the previous fourteen of the two, Augsburg won five, Paderborn six, and three ended in a draw. The host team has returned strongly in recent years, with four successes in the last six matches, the last even in the round, 1-0. Compared to the Schmidt period, we saw an important increase in defense, Schalke being without solutions in front of the opposing goal. If the defense is solid the team receives the dose of confidence needed to force victory. Augsburg is in a good period and can secure its place in the Bundesliga. We are moving towards a success of the hosts.
