Großaspach welcome Bundesliga outfit FC Augsburg to the comtech Arena for a DFB Pokal Round 2 tie that looks lopsided on paper. The gap in quality between a regional-level club and a top-flight side is obvious, but Großaspach arrive in truly wretched form, having shipped twelve goals across their last two matches alone. That kind of defensive collapse against lower opposition should worry their fans even more than the scoreline suggests, because Augsburg, for all their own inconsistency this autumn, still carry far more firepower than Wehen or Mannheim.
Fabian Eisele has been the one bright spot for the hosts, scoring three goals in his last four outings and giving Großaspach their only real route to causing trouble. On the Augsburg side, Fabian Rieder has quietly racked up a goal, an assist and the most passes of anyone in the squad over the last three matches, pulling strings from midfield. We’d keep an eye on both of them whenever the ball reaches the final third.
Hot stat: Großaspach have conceded 12 goals in their last two matches combined (1-7 vs Wehen, 1-5 vs Mannheim), a defensive record that should terrify anyone backing them here.

Grossaspach vs FC Augsburg prediction
We’re backing FC Augsburg to win this one comfortably. The bookmakers have them at roughly 68% to progress and honestly, that feels about right given how porous Großaspach have looked defensively in recent weeks. Augsburg aren’t flying either, winless in five across all competitions, but a winless run against Bundesliga quality opposition is a different animal than conceding seven goals to Wehen in a regional fixture.
Großaspach foul more per shot and show less control in possession, with a pass accuracy noticeably lower than Augsburg’s across the last five matches. Augsburg have also picked up more corners and shots on average, suggesting they should dominate territory here even if their final product has been shaky lately. Expect Augsburg to control the ball, draw plenty of fouls from a side that will need to defend deep for long stretches, and create enough chances to get the job done, even if it isn’t pretty.
| 🔥Hot Tip: | FC Augsburg to win by 2+ goals (Asian Handicap -1.5) |

Team Analysis
Großaspach’s last match was brutal, a 1-7 hammering at the hands of Wehen that exposed just about everything wrong with their back line right now. Before that they did beat Preussen Munster 3-2, showing they can score when given space, but the Mannheim defeat (1-5) and the Wehen collapse paint a picture of a side conceding at will against anyone with pace up front. Two draws and two losses in their last four tell their own story: Großaspach are fragile, and a Bundesliga attack should exploit that.
FC Augsburg drew 1-1 with Union Berlin in their most recent outing, extending a run that now reads three draws and two losses across their last five games, with zero wins in that stretch. In our preview of FC Augsburg vs Union Berlin we leaned toward an Augsburg win with goals at both ends, and the eventual 1-1 draw went against that call. Perhaps that stalemate is exactly why we expect a response here against markedly weaker opposition. Augsburg also lost 3-4 to Elversberg and drew with both Bayern Munich and Hertha Berlin, so their defense has leaked goals too, but the attacking numbers against a cup-level side should be enough regardless.

Pre-game odds and win probability: FC Augsburg the favourite
- Moneyline Grossaspach 6.80 | FC Augsburg 1.36
- Draw 5.00
The odds leave no room for doubt, Augsburg are priced as heavy favourites across every bookmaker we checked, with prices on their win sitting around 1.35-1.37 almost universally. That kind of consensus among dozens of operators tells us the market sees this as a routine cup progression rather than a genuine toss-up. We’d avoid chasing the draw price purely for value, since Großaspach’s defensive numbers simply don’t support that kind of optimism right now.
Possible Starting Lineups
Grossaspach possible starting eleven
- GK: Maximilian Reule
- DF: Antonis Aidonis, Marius Uhl
- MF: Tim Rossmann
- FW: Fabian Eisele, Nikos Zografakis
Reinhardt’s available data points toward a 3-4-2-1 setup, with Reule continuing in goal after starting four of the last five matches. Aidonis has been the most reliable defensive presence, while Eisele’s three goals in four appearances make him the one attacking outlet worth watching. Squad depth beyond these names is thin in the data we have, which itself hints at a side relying heavily on a small core group of contributors.
FC Augsburg possible starting eleven
- GK: Finn Gilbert Dahmen
- DF: Chrislain Matsima, Hennes Behrens, Juma Bah, Calvin Marc Brackelmann
- MF: Han-Noah Massengo, Fabian Rieder, Arijon Ibrahimovic, Robin Fellhauer, Anton Kade
- FW: Michael Gregoritsch
Baum has largely stuck with a 4-2-3-1 shape in recent weeks, and the minutes data backs that reading clearly. Rieder and Massengo look set to anchor midfield with Dahmen behind them in goal, while Gregoritsch leads the line as the main striker on shot volume alone. Rieder in particular deserves attention given his goal, assist and heavy passing involvement over the last three matches, he’s the player most likely to unlock a packed Großaspach defense.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict FC Augsburg progress here without too much drama. Großaspach’s recent defensive numbers, twelve goals conceded in two games, simply don’t match up against a Bundesliga attack that has still managed to score in nearly every recent fixture despite its own winless run. Our pick leans toward Augsburg winning by two or more goals, with both teams finding the net given how often Großaspach’s attack, led by Eisele, has punched above its weight this season. To be honest, the only real question is the margin, not the outcome.
