Augsburg have improved massively in the second half of the season. They are unbeaten in their last five games and a home game against struggling Cologne is a good opportunity to improve this record.
After two heavy losses in a row, Cologne have to regain their confidence soon. They are deep in the relegation battle and only one point ahead of Augsburg.
Expect this to become an intense game. Both teams are in trouble and need a result here.
Augsburg 2 - 1 FC Cologne
