Ingolstadt set for southern showdown with Augsburg

xwhatsappmailcopy-link

Only two points and two positions apart, it is set to be a well-matched affair when FC Augsburg make the 78-kilometre trip south to take on FC Ingolstadt 04 at the Audi Sportpark on Saturday of Matchday 20 (kick-off: 15.30CET/14.30GMT).

Watch: Dortmund 2-0 Ingolstadt highlights

Ingolstadt new boy Dario Lezcano made an impressive debut in a 2-0 defeat at Borussia Dortmund last time out, with the Paraguayan charged with scoring the goals in tight encounters such as these to keep Ralph Hasenhüttl's well-organised unit in the top-flight.

That will be a tough ask against an Augsburg defence yet to be breached in 2016, however. Die Fuggerstädter's upward curve has continued into the new year after Markus Weinzierl's men recorded back-to-back stalemates versus Hertha Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt.
