Head-to-head record with Augsburg

• On Friday night, the Foals and the Fuggerstädters will meet for the 20th time. The head-to-head record goes slightly in Borussia’s favour with six wins, five defeats and eight draws.
• Borussia are unbeaten against FC Augsburg in eight games (4 wins, 4 draws). FCA’s last win in this fixture came four years ago (1-0 win in Augsburg, December 2016).
• Borussia managed to turn their form around against Augsburg once before: In 2015/16, after six straight defeats under Lucien Favre at the start of the season, Andre Schubert took over and won his first game 4-2 against FCA.  
• After eight winless visits to the WWK-Arena, Borussia finally managed to take three points home from Augsburg on the ninth attempt in February 2020 with a 3-2 victory. A Ramy Bensebaini goal and a Lars Stindl brace did the job that day.
