In the
2.Bundesliga the SC Paderborn is only outsider in Augsburg on Friday evening.
The FC Augsburg missed the promotion to Bundesliga when lost the relegation matches against Nürnberg, but belongs to the top favourites of the 2.Bundeliga again. For a long time Coach Luhukay and manager Rettig do a good job and just could sign another two Bundesliga players with Lukas Sinkiewicz and Dominik Reinhardt, both will miss this match because of an injury. The team exposed their great potential when won 4:1 away at FC Ingolstadt last Saturday.
As a promoted team the SC Paderborn surprisingly finished on fifth position at the end of last season. Now they had to reduce their budget, so with Schachten and Saglik two important players left the club and couldn't get replaced equivalently. The new season started bad for Paderborn, in the Cup they lost 0:2 at FSV Frankfurt and last Sunday they got beaten at home by the promoted team Erzgebirge Aue 0:1 in the last minute.
