More markets for the DFB-Pokal game, scheduled for August 22 at 7:00 AM ET.
FC Augsburg enters this DFB-Pokal first-round matchup as clear favorites against newly promoted 2. Bundesliga side FC Energie Cottbus, reflecting the substantial gap in league level and squad depth. Cottbus secured promotion on the final day of the 2025-26 3. Liga campaign and will host at LEAG Energie Stadion on August 22, 2026, where home support could provide a short-term edge in a cup tie. Augsburg’s pre-season schedule has included mixed friendlies, with a dominant win over SC Schwaz offset by a 1-1 draw against Saarbrücken and a loss to Bournemouth, while both sides continue integrating squads ahead of the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga openers. Limited confirmed injury updates exist this early, though defensive availability for Augsburg and Cottbus’ attacking transitions from lower-league form remain focal points for traders assessing upset potential in the single-elimination format.
