Bavaria: Augsburg welcomes Freiburg at the start

Augsburg (dpa / lby) - FC Augsburg starts its twelfth season in the Bundesliga with a home game against SC Freiburg. "I feel a healthy tension. I'm excited for the first game and I'm hoping for a full stadium," said FCA coach Enrico Maaßen ahead of his Bundesliga debut today.

With a more offensive style of play, the Fuggerstadt team want to have a better season than last and have nothing to do with the relegation battle. However, Maassen did not commit himself to a specific goal. "We simply prepare ourselves specifically for every single game," said the football coach.

Against Freiburg there is also a reunion with Michael Gregoritsch, who switched to SC before the season. In return, Ermedin Demirovic came. Both strikers are candidates for the starting XI.
