Seeking to close the four-point gap to the Bundesliga summit, reigning champions Bayern Munich travel to the WWK Arena to face Augsburg on Saturday afternoon.
The two teams meet for the first time since matchday two back in August last year when the Bavarian giants secured a 3-1 home victory.
Augsburg ended a four-game winless run in the Bundesliga when they came from behind to beat Borussia Monchengladbach 2-1 away from home last weekend.
Die Fuggerstadter were trailing at the interval, but Jess Thorup's half-time team talk worked wonders as his side turned the game on its head with two goals in the first six minutes of the second half scored by Phillip Tietz and Arne Engels.
Augsburg – who have won a Bundesliga-high 15 points from losing positions so far this season – eventually held on for their fifth league win of the season and have climbed to 10th in the table, 10 points clear of the bottom three and seven points adrift of the top six heading into the second half of the campaign.
