Full-time: Augsburg 1-0 Bochum

In a hard-fought encounter at the WWK Arena, Augsburg ran out 1-0 winners thanks to Phillip Tietz's first-half spot-kick. Although Bochum can take solace from a strong defensive display, their difficulties creating chances going forward meant that they suffered a tenth defeat of the season. They stay bottom while Augsburg climb to provisional 13th.

Cutting edge required

xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).
While FCA are on target, there is still too little coming from the guests. They have not had a shot on target since the break. This is also confirmed by the xGoals.

Jess Thorup on Bochum

"It will be hard work. We know our strengths and are happy that we can play in front of our great fans again. Nevertheless, we must not underestimate Bochum, it will be anything but easy, they have improved significantly defensively in recent games."

Dieter Hecking on Augsburg

"Augsburg have a positive home record. It's always unpleasant to play there. Very physical, very present. They go for the second balls. They have a good mix, because there's a lot of individual quality there too."

Busy keeper

Augsburg goalkeeper Nediljko Labrovic made more saves than any other goalkeeper in a match this season against Bayern Munich last weekend (11).

Slow start

Bochum have two points in their opening 11 matches. Only one side in Bundesliga history have fared worse by this stage of the campaign - SpVgg Greuther Fürth, who had a single point after Matchday 11 of 2021/22. They will be hoping to build on signs of improvement under new coach Dieter Hecking to add to that low tally.

Home and away

Augsburg are unbeaten in their past three home matches and have collected 11 of their 12 points so far this season in front of their own fans. Bochum have lost all six of their away fixtures to date in this season's Bundesliga.
