FC Augsburg is going head to head with FC Schalke 04 starting on 18 Mar 2023 at 14:30 UTC at WWK ARENA stadium, Augsburg city, Germany. The match is a part of the Bundesliga. FC Augsburg played against FC Schalke 04 in 1 matches this season. Currently, FC Augsburg rank 13th, while FC Schalke 04 hold 17th position.
Schalke 04 will be aiming to extend their unbeaten record in the Bundesliga to eight matches when they visit Augsburg on Saturday. The hosts, meanwhile, have won each of their last four league games at the WWK Arena.

Augsburg vs Schalke Team News
Augsburg are set to remain without Niklas Dorsch, Fredrik Jensen, Felix Uduokhai, Andre Hahn and Tobias Strobl due to existing injury problems, while Reece Oxford’s potential involvement is doubtful due to a cold.
Star goalkeeper Rafal Gikiewicz has been suffering from a minor ankle knock in recent times, but he should be passed fit enough to start between the posts, with Ruben Vargas likely to come back into the hosts’ starting XI after only being used as a substitute against Bayern.
