It should be noted that one of the main shortcomings of this set is the way in which it defends the set pieces. The home team usually plays in a tactical system in 5-3-2, privileging the fast transitions, mainly through the wings. In this tactical formation, the two men responsible for launching panic on the opposing defense are Caiuby and Cordoba. The coach of Augsburg will not be able to count on Alfred Finnbogason, Raphael Framberger, Kilian Jakob and Kevin Danso for being injured. Jan Morávek will also be out for being suspended.
