On Tuesday night, Augsburg will be looking to continue their stellar recent form in the Bundesliga when they welcome Fortuna Dusseldorf to the WWK Arena.
The home side are unbeaten in five Bundesliga matches, having recorded an impressive four wins in the process. A 4-2 win at Hoffenheim in their last league outing also means that Augsburg has scored at least two goals in three of their last four league matches. Their attacking prowess has led to over 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous six league matches.
Experienced striker Florian Niederlechner has hit form of late in the German top-flight, as the 29-year-old has now scored three goals in his last four matches, taking his goal tally for the season to seven in the Bundesliga.

Augsburg recent home record is inconsistent in truth. However, big victories over Hertha Berlin and Mainz in their last two home matches in the German top-flight have improved their recent record on home soil.
Their recent home games in the Bundesliga have been entertaining affairs of late, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last six outings in German top-flight.
Fortuna Dusseldorf look set for a hard season, as they currently occupy the relegation play-off spot in the Bundesliga table. However, all is not lost for the visitors, as they are just two points away from safety.
A five-game winless run in the Bundesliga have not helped their chances of escaping the depths of the table. The fact that they have conceded at least three times in four of their last five league outings is also a big contributing factor to their lowly position in the table.
Dusseldorf have also been poor travellers of late in the Bundesliga, failing to win in seven away games, while suffering five defeats in the process.
Forebet predicts that Augsburg will continue their recent good form by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
