Bochum

Both teams are following a very intense pressure, many one-on-one approach. That's why we have to be fully vigilant. We saw this last year and set out to score goals on equal terms against opponents. We are playing at home, we want our first victory of the season and we will do everything possible.

Augsburg's Form

I believe we have proven our character in the last two games. But now it's about points. We have prepared something good for Saturday and we will need to bring our skills to the field and play smart.

The Situation of Bochum

We currently have a very high education level. It's so fun to see the kids on the field. We trained with 23 guys today, 23 of them absolutely working and on fire. Fit both goalies are hot for the game. Every Bundesliga match is special. This is how we approach this game. The derby against Dortmund was special, but for the game in Augsburg, too, there is a huge motivation for every individual to take something with them. We gave a play in Stuttgart with a bad performance. That's too much. After two games we earned one point. We want to change that.

Augsburg

Augsburg was on a similar path to us last year. But they have invested a lot, strengthened the staff and have fundamentally different demands from us. This will be a huge challenge that we will have to face. Things are generally going well in Augsburg. Augsburg is also a very active, very aggressive and high pressure team. They take a similar approach to us. It will be a very intense game with lots of one-on-one duels. The last two games against Augsburg have also been very intense. We have to be prepared. In terms of intensity, it will be a different game from the last two games. There will be many second balls, many duels. We have to be the better team in this area.
