Bundesliga returns on Friday night, when two mid-table teams, Augsburg and FC Koln, will meet in another important game.

Let's break down the match and find the best betting option.

Augsburg team overview
Augsburg became a synonym for a mid-table team in the last decade. It seems that the current season will not be any different. They are eight points above the drop zone and shouldn't have too many problems securing another year in the top flight, especially because they are in tremendous form. Augsburg won four of the last five matches. In the most recent outing, Manuel Baum's team won 3-2 on the road against Wolfsburg. The teams were pretty even, and probably splitting points was the fairest outcome, but the visitors stole a victory late in the second half.
Augsburg's head coach, Manuel Baum, was ecstatic after a fantastic performance in Wolfsburg. He said, "That was an incredibly important and hard-fought win. Going behind twice is frustrating, but to come back like that is extremely impressive. Wolfsburg showed flashes of their quality at times, but the performance the lads put in – especially in the second half – was truly fantastic."
Augsburg doesn't have a significant problem with injuries. Only Jeffrey Gouweleeuw and Chrislain Matsima will skip the upcoming Bundesliga round.

FC Koln team overview
FC Koln could return to 2. Bundesliga after only one season. They are only four points above the drop zone and urgently need points. However, FC Koln's form is alarming, as they collected only one point in the last three matches. In the previous game, Lukas Kwasniok's team played 2-2 at home against Hoffenheim. The guests were significantly better, but the hosts found a way to a valuable point.
FC Koln are in danger, and it will not be surprising if they sack head coach Lukas Kwasniok if things don't improve. The board still shows support for him, but the fans and local media are talking a lot about change. Kwasniok needs a few good performances to silence the critics.
Alessio Castro-Montes, Timo Hubers, Luca Kilian, Linton Maina, Joel Schmied, and Jan Thielann are injured and will not travel to Augsburg. Also, Tom Krauss is questionable, and his status will be clearer closer to the kickoff.
