Elversberg vs Augsburg Match Summary
Competition | German Bundesliga |
|---|---|
Match Date | Saturday 17 October 2026 |
Match Time | 14:30 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | URSAPHARM-Arena an der Kaiserlinde |
Elversberg host Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon, and this fixture has goals written all over it.
The newcomers are back at the URSAPHARM-Arena an der Kaiserlinde for their first home match in five weeks, and they need a response after a 1-0 away defeat at Union Berlin.
Augsburg arrive sixth, having twice led reigning champions Bayern Munich before settling for a point at home last time out. Manuel Baum's side look the sharper outfit.
History is on the visitors' side too. Augsburg are unbeaten in their last six matches against Elversberg in all competitions, and Elversberg have won none of the previous meetings between the clubs.
Elversberg vs Augsburg Form
Elversberg made a bright start to their debut Bundesliga campaign, but Vincent Wagner's side have picked up just one point from their last three games. A win for them would have landed only 2 times in their last 7 matches against all opponents. Counter attacks and long-range shooting remain their best weapons, with David Mokwa set to lead the line.
Augsburg have lost just one of their opening five Bundesliga matches, and a win for them would have landed 5 times in their last 10 matches against all opponents. Fabian Rieder runs the engine room, while Robin Fellhauer keeps arriving in the box. The worry is at the back, where clean sheets have been hard to come by.

Elversberg
Jan Gyamerah missed out against Union Berlin but has been cleared to start, which is a welcome boost on the right of the back four. David Mokwa is expected to replace Noel Futkeu up top, while F. Onyeka is a doubt. The probable 4-2-3-1 has a settled look to it.
Augsburg
Juma Bah has been cleared to start after picking up a knock against Bayern Munich, but there are still question marks over Arijon Ibrahimovic after he missed training through illness. Anton Kade and Michael Gregoritsch could be recalled by Manuel Baum. The Elversberg vs Augsburg lineups point to a probable 3-4-2-1 from the visitors, despite a lengthy absentee list.
