After the international break, Augsburg will face FC Köln away this week. Head coach Sandro Wagner is confident about the upcoming match after his team beat Wolfsburg 3-1 at home.

Sandro Wagner said: "Apart from a certain amount of nervousness, I'm very excited. The current focus is on getting the team back to top form. For me, the most important thing is to focus on the overall performance of the team and show our quality in Cologne."

Looking ahead to the upcoming match, Sandro Wagner anticipates a tough encounter. He stated: "FC Cologne performed well in many areas, and we must be fully prepared. The Cologne players have shown great focus in training this week, and Fuglstedt's goal will be to continue the consistency and efficiency shown in the first half. "

During the off-season, the team played a friendly against Ulm 1846. With many key first-team players away on international duty, the younger players received valuable playing time. Sandro Wagner stated, "I believe it's crucial to create a stable environment for young players and give them enough time. For a coach, mentoring young players is one of the most satisfying parts of their job."
