The Bundesliga is about to witness a pure relegation battle as FC Schalke 04 meets FC Augsburg in a crucial match this afternoon. The game kicks off at 3:30 p.m. and is filled with excitement as four other direct rivals in the fight against relegation – Hertha, Hoffenheim, Stuttgart, and Bochum – are also playing at the same time.
For Schalke, this game comes on the back of a draw against second-placed BVB in the Revierderby. The Royal Blue team equalized twice after falling behind and fought hard to secure a 2-2 lead and take an important point from the game. Will they be able to take this tailwind into the Augsburg game?
On the other side, Augsburg faced a heavy defeat of 3-5 against FC Bayern in their last match. Coach Enrico Maaßen’s team currently sits in the 13th place with 27 points, which is seven points behind the relegation zone – making this game a do-or-die situation for them.
