DFB Cup duel: HFC welcomes Augsburg – an exciting competitive game awaits!
Today is an exciting day for football fans as Hallesche FC welcomes FC Augsburg to the Leuna-Chemie Stadium. Kick-off is at 6:00 p.m. and it is the first round of the DFB Cup. This is the first competitive meeting between the two clubs, which makes the game all the more interesting. Hallesche FC, coached by Mark Zimmermann, qualified for this round for the 14th time as winners of the Saxony-Anhalt State Cup, after a year in which they scored two goals in the first round.
It will be particularly exciting for FC Augsburg, which is under the new leadership of Sandro Wagner, who is celebrating his competitive debut as head coach. Tobias Reichel will referee the game. However, Halleschen FC's previous experiences in duels with Bundesliga teams have been mixed; In six encounters of this type, the HFC was always eliminated. The last two games against Bundesliga teams were so close that they went into extra time.
The shape of the teams
In recent years, FC Augsburg has been able to survive the first round of the DFB Cup in four of the last five seasons and even reached the quarter-finals in the previous season - an impressive success! However, captain Jeffrey Gouweleeuw will play in doubt after suffering a broken hand. What is particularly noteworthy is that FCA has achieved an impressive goal ratio of 24:5 in the last five premiere duels against new opponents.
Hallesche FC has an eventful cup history; They have reached the second round three times so far, most recently in the 2016/17 season. Cyrill Akono was involved in both goals in the last cup game against St. Pauli and could play a key role in this encounter to perhaps cause an upset.
Broadcasts and live streams
Fans who want to watch the game live will have to tune in to the broadcast on Sky, as the game cannot be seen on free TV. Another way to follow what's happening in the stadium is the live ticker on SPORT1. The anticipation is great!
Overall, this first duel in the DFB Cup between Halleschen FC and FC Augsburg promises to offer exciting football moments. All eyes are on the players and fans are hoping for an exciting game that may even extend beyond regular time. Who will ultimately move on to the next round? We are excited!
