Bundesliga preview – Augsburg vs Hannover 96 prediction
Augsburg have a growing injury list of Parker, Moravek, Opare, Schuster, Bobadilla and Caiuby. Markus Feulner looks set to win the battle for a starting spot at left back with Ja-Cheol Koo likely to edge Halil Altintop for a place at the centre of midfield. Tim Matavz will fill in up front with the injuries Augsburg face in attack.
Hannover look set to start with Felipe at centre back again as Christian Schulz continues his battle for fitness. Schmiedebach could be replaced by Leon Andreason with a knee injury keeping the former out of the side. Oliver Sorg is likely to start again in midfield as Miiko Albornoz continues to fill in at left back.

Prediction
Augsburg have only 1 point in the Bundesliga so far this season and a 3-1 away trip to Bilbao during the week was a tough introduction to life in the Europa League. The home team may find it difficult combining European competition and the depth of their squad will be called into question through the first part of the season.
Hannover too find themselves with only 1 league point this season. A 4-2 home defeat to Dortmund folloing a 3-0 defeat at Mainz leave Hannover struggling for form and desperately needing to give their season a kick start.
The Bundesliga table cannot separate these two and neither can we. Although both will want to improve their seasons, with Augsburg having played mid week and Hannover playing away from home a draw looks almost inevitable here.
