FC Augsburg Under Pressure - Cup as Opportunity - Augsburg Aims to End Cup Woes Against Bochum After Leipzig Defeat

FC Augsburg faces a crucial DFB Cup match against VfL Bochum, aiming to bounce back from a heavy 0-6 home defeat to RB Leipzig and secure a place in the round of 16.

Nediljko Labrović will start in goal for Augsburg against Bochum, not as a reaction to the Leipzig defeat, but due to rotation. Joel Dahmen, Augsburg's first-choice keeper, will retain his spot for the upcoming Bundesliga clash against Dortmund.

Augsburg has a history of struggling in the German Cup, advancing past the second round only once in the past six seasons. Last year, they met VfB Stuttgart in the quarterfinal but were eliminated. In the 2021-22 season, they reached the same stage before losing to the same opponent. Despite these setbacks, Augsburg is determined to turn their fortunes around against a tough opponent in VfL Bochum, a historic club with a strong squad.

Augsburg's match against Bochum is a must-win if they are to progress in the DFB Cup. With Labrović in goal and Dahmen ready for the Bundesliga, Augsburg is focused on securing victory and ending their recent cup woes.
