Full-time: Wolfsburg 2-3 Augsburg

What a result for Augsburg! The visitors pocket all three points at the end of a back-and-forth encounter, Rexhbecaj grabbing the winning goal against his old team in injury time. It was no more than they deserved, in fact, having been the better side in the first half and having bounced back from going behind twice, following strikes by Gerhardt and substitute Shiogai for the Wolves. Ribeiro and Gregoritsch - from the spot - twice equalised for Augsburg, who would eventually emerge victorious as the clock ticked down.

Half-time: Wolfsburg 1-0 Augsburg

The Wolves hold a precious lead at the break at the Volkswagen Arena, with skipper Gerhardt scoring the all-important goal in the 41st minute. Augsburg will feel a little aggrieved, having looked the more dangerous team overall, and they will be hopeful of finding a way back into the match in the second half.

Tension in the air

There's quite a tense atmosphere at the Volkswagen Arena, and that is also evident on the pitch in this 'six-pointer'. The first few minutes have been very cagey.

Gerhardt prominent

Gerhardt, filling in for the missing Arnold today alongside Eriksen in central midfield, has had a few useful touches in the opening stages. He's also donned the captain's armband that the talismanic absentee usually wears.

Wolfsburg assistant coach Tobias Holm on facing Augsburg

"Augsburg have stabilised considerably under Manuel Baum and has picked up 10 out of a possible 15 points in the second half of the season – including a respectable result in Munich. They are an opponent who play a tough game, are very structured and work hard off the ball, and use a lot of long balls. We know exactly what to expect. It will be a very tough fight until the end."

Manuel Baum on facing Wolfsburg

"Wolfsburg possess incredible individual quality. They seem to have lost their way a bit in the current league table, but we are definitely on our guard and want to hurt them as a team."

Trouble on the road

While Wolfsburg have struggled to pick up wins at home, winning just twice from 11 games, Augsburg have also struggled away from home. They've won only two of 10 games, drawing once and losing seven.

Relegation worries

The Wolves sit in 15th with the joint-second worst defensive record in the league. They're just one point above Bremen in the relegation play-off place.

Familiar struggles

Wolfsburg's 2-2 draw away to Leipzig marked the first time the Wolves have taken a point off a team currently inside the top six this season. However, it was just the second point they have collected from five games so far in the second half of 2025/26.

Rubbing shoulders with Champions League contenders

Augsburg have collected 10 points from their first five matches of the second half of the season (three wins, one draw, one loss). That's the same amount as Bayern Munich, Stuttgart and Bayer Leverkusen. The last time they started the second half of a season so strongly was 12 years ago in the 2013/14 campaign, when they also picked up 10 points from their opening five games.

Watch: Leipzig 2-2 Wolfsburg - highlights

Despite a spirited draw at top-four contenders RB Leipzig, Wolfsburg are five points worse off than Augsburg and only one clear of the bottom three after 22 matches. The Wolves are also winless in their last five (D2, L3).

Watch: Augsburg 1-0 Heidenheim - highlights

An Alexis Claude-Maurice penalty was enough for Augsburg against bottom side Heidenheim last weekend. It was their third win in their last four games, with Manuel Baum's side now six points clear of the relegation play-off spot.
