Under the floodlights, FC Augsburg is set to take on 1. FC Union Berlin, looking to return to winning ways following their recent loss in Mönchengladbach. The match will kick off at 20:30 and fans can stay updated through the live ticker available in the FCA app.
In a move to improve performance, head coach Manuel Baum has made four changes to the starting lineup. Kristijan Jakić, Elvis Rexhbecaj, and Dimitris Giannoulis return to the squad, with Giannoulis making his comeback after serving a suspension. Also featured in the first eleven is Michael Gregoritsch, who rejoined the team during the winter transfer window. The 31-year-old Austrian last played at the WWK ARENA in May 2022, where he notably scored the decisive goal in a 2:1 victory against SpVgg Greuther Fürth.
New signing Yannik Keitel has been included in the matchday squad for the first time, although Rodrigo Ribeiro, who was signed on Thursday, will not be part of the roster just yet.
The starting lineup for the match includes: Dahmen – Rexhbecaj, Giannoulis, Zesiger, Jakić, Fellhauer, Claude-Maurice, Kade, Schlotterbeck, Gregoritsch, and Banks, while the bench features Labrović, Pedersen, Massengo, Essende, Gharbi, Keitel, Wolf, Rieder, and Kömür.
With these changes, Augsburg aims for a fresh start, and fans will be eager to see if the new lineup can secure a much-needed victory against Union Berlin.
