AUG vs KOL Dream11: Augsburg vs Koln prediction, team and fantasy football top picks

FC Augsburg will next take on Koln in the Bundesliga at the WWK Arena as both sides look to avoid relegation. The match is scheduled to kick off at 8:30 PM local time on Friday, April 23 (12:00 AM IST on Saturday, April 24). Here is our AUG vs KOL Dream11 prediction, top picks and our AUG vs KOL Dream11 team.

AUG vs KOL match preview

FC Augsburg head into this match on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt. A goal each half from Martin Hinteregger and Andre Silva ensured that FC Augsburg got nothing from the game. Heiko Herrlich's winless run of three games (1D 2L) has resulted in the side dropping down to twelfth place in the Bundesliga standings, seven points above the relegation places. FC Augsburg will need to rediscover their form quickly if they want to avoid getting into a relegation battle with few games remaining in the season.

On the other hand, Koln recorded an astonishing 2-1 victory over title-chasing RB Leipzig in their last game as Jonas Hector scored a second-half brace. Although the victory gives Koln hopes of survival they are yet in 17th place in the Bundesliga standings and are four points away from safety. However, a win against Leipzig may have just given Friedhelm Funkel's side a massive boost in their pursuit for survival.
