Still to play for

    League survival is still feasible. Although the Bavarians are 15th with only goal-difference as a buffer on the relegation zone, their form has been respectable, picking up points against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Bayer 04 Leverkusen and SV Darmstadt 98 in recent weeks.The 2-2 draw against SV Darmstadt 98 on Matchday 26 showed that Augsburg are more than capable of digging deep. FCA were trailing by two goals before Markus Feulner and Alfred Finnbogason levelled the game, the latter with another last-minute penalty.Three of Augsburg's remaining six games are against 1. FC Köln, VfB Stuttgart and Hamburger SV, teams marginally better off in the league standings. Win those and Augsburg could climb into mid-table.
