Lowly club FC Augsburg (2-8-3, 9 points) will try to follow-up on their huge victory last week as it faces top three squad VfL Wolfsburg (7-3-3, 24 points) in a 2015-2016 Bundesliga meeting at the SGL Arena on November 29th, Sunday.

Both teams are coming off lopsided victories over tough opponents last Saturday.

Augsburg demolished Stuttgart, 4-0, on the road at the Mercedes-Benz Arena to score only their second win of the season, as per Sports Mole.

It was Fuggerstädter's first victory in their last eight matches since their 2-0 win over Hannover 96 two months ago.

German winger Alexander Esswein scored the opening goal at the 11th-minute mark then an own goal by Stuttgart's Timo Baumgartl at the 17th instantly doubled their lead.

Center back Jan-Ingwer Callsen-Bracker scored at the 36th to put Markus Weinzierl's side up 3-0 before the break before South Korean midfielder Koo Ja-cheol sealed the game with a goal at the 54th.

Meanwhile, Wolfsburg bludgeoned Werder Bremen, 6-0, at the Volkswagen Arena to bounce back from their previous 0-2 loss to Mainz, as reported by SkySports.

German striker Max Kruse scored a double at the 44th and 87th while Portuguese winger Vieirinha, French midfielder Josuha Guilavogui, and Dutch striker Bas Dost netted one goal apiece on the way to the blowout victory.

Die Wölfe have won four of their last six games, which settled them at the third spot in the league table.

This would be a hard-fought match between two clubs who have gathered momentum in their recent wins, but Dieter Hecking men will prevail.

The predicted result is a tough 2-1 decision for Wolfsburg.

Augsburg starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Hitz; Verhaegh, Callsen-Bracker, Klavan, Max; Kohr, Baier; Esswein, Koo, Caiuby; Bobadilla

Wolfsburg starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Benaglio; Trasch, Naldo, Dante, Schafer; Arnold, Gustavo; Vieirinha, Kruse, Caligiuri; Dost
