Bottom-rooted Greuther Furth will be bidding to end their campaign in style when they travel to WWK Arena to face Augsburg in their final Bundesliga match this season. Kickoff schedules for may 14, 2022 at 16:30 EAT.
The home team secured survival in the top tier a while ago however they have dropped in form drastically since then. Currently they are placed 14th with 35 points in the standings, five points above the relegation playoffs. Augsburg has perhaps been fortunate that results have gone their way in the past few weeks; Picking up 10 points from an impressive five-game spell between the end of February and beginning of April has effectively secured their survival, with just one win and four defeats being picked up since then.
Augsburg will want to bounce back from 4-0 Bundesliga loss to RB Leipzig in their last match. In that game, Augsburg managed 36% possession and six shots with only one of them on target. RB Leipzig got 14 shots with eight of them on target and goals by André Silva (40′), Christopher Nkunku (48′, 57′) and Emil Forsberg (64′).
Furth became the first relegated team a while ago and they enter the final day fixtures with a twelve-point deficit to Stuttgart who holds the relegation playoffs spot right now. Greuther Furth will at least have a chance to pull off a result in their last game in the elite since they take on out-of-form Augsburg on the occasion. The top flight has proved to be too strong for the visitors as they lack the budget required to stay competitive at this level.
Greuther Furth and their fans will hope to get a better results following 3-1 Bundesliga defeat toBorussia Dortmund in their last fixture. In that game, Greuther Furth managed 42% possession, eight shots with three of them on target and a goal by Jessic Ngankam (70′). Borussia Dortmund got eight shots with four of them on target and goals by Julian Brandt (26′, 72′) and Felix Passlack (77′) scored for Borussia Dortmund.
