Augsburg's Schuster faces former flame Darmstadt

There will be no room for sentimentality when Dirk Schuster faces former club SV Darmstadt 98 for the first time since taking the reins at FC Augsburg on Saturday (kick-off 15:30CEST/13:30GMT).

Make sure you update your Official Fantasy Bundesliga team before kick-off! Step this way...

The 48-year-old enjoys hero status at Darmstadt, having steered the Hessen club back to the Bundesliga after a 33-year absence and masterminded their top-flight survival last term, but now presides over an Augsburg outfit enjoying their sixth successive campaign at Germany's top table. Die Fuggerstädter are unbeaten on the road this season, but have yet to win in front of their own fans.

Head to the Match Centre for more information.

In Schuster's stead, Norbert Meier has made a decent enough start to his tenure as Darmstadt head coach. The Lilies have taken four points from a possible six at home, but are still searching for their first away points of the season following a 2-0 defeat to 1. FC Köln and a 6-0 hiding at the hands of Borussia Dortmund.
