Augsburg's Bundesliga Milestone: A 'Giant Push' Against Cologne - FC Augsburg eyes historic 150th Bundesliga win in Cologne showdown
FC Augsburg is preparing for a key Bundesliga clash against 1. FC Cologne this weekend. The match marks the club's 500th top-flight game and offers a chance to secure their 150th league victory. A win could also push them seven points clear of the relegation battle.
Under coach Manuel Baum, Augsburg has shown strong form in recent weeks. The team has gone unbeaten in their last three meetings with Cologne and now sits 11th in the table with 25 points from 22 matches.
Augsburg's season has taken a sharp turn since the winter break. In the first six matches of 2026, they collected 13 points—a club record for the second half of a campaign. Only Borussia Dortmund has performed better in the same period.
The team has also won four of their last five games, building a comfortable gap above the drop zone. Meanwhile, struggling sides like VfL Wolfsburg have managed just two points from their opening six Rückrunde fixtures.
Striker Michael Gregoritsch is another bright spot, nearing Alfred Finnbogason's club record of 37 Bundesliga goals. At home, Augsburg is close to matching their best unbeaten run from their debut top-flight season in 2011/12.
A victory over Cologne would extend their lead to seven points and take them past the 30-point mark. It would also mark a milestone: their 150th league win in the club's history.
The upcoming match against Cologne carries extra significance for Augsburg. A win would strengthen their position in mid-table and set a new club benchmark for second-half performances. With momentum on their side, the team looks to build on their recent success in the weeks ahead.
