Energie Cottbus will have to put their recent troubles aside if they want to upset Augsburg when the sides meet in the first round of the 2026-27 DFB Pokal on Saturday. This match at LEAG Energie Stadion in Cottbus between the ‘Lusatians’ and the ‘Fuggerstadter’ is likely to favour the Bundesliga visitors, and our match prediction is an Augsburg win.
Cottbus reached the second round of this tournament last year but crashed out of the first round in eight consecutive appearances before. Augsburg also crashed out of the second round last year and, incidentally, have crossed the first round in five of their last six appearances.
Cottbus lost 3-0 away at Arminia last weekend in the second division league game. That result made it five defeats from their last seven matches (W2). They did end last competitive season on a high, winning six of their last eight competitive games (L2), although a Bundesliga opponent is a step up.
Augsburg are yet to play a competitive match this season and had shown indifferent form in the friendlies. They had just two wins from five pre-season friendlies (D1, L2) but will take comfort from how they ended last season. Augsburg ended last campaign with three wins from their last five games (D1, L1) and will look to extend that run here.

Our Energie Cottbus vs Augsburg Prediction
This is the first time these sides are playing since 2011, when these clubs were together in the second division. So much has changed since then, with Augsburg establishing themselves as Bundesliga regulars. The hosts will see this match as a chance to prove their worth, but recent form isn’t encouraging. Augsburg are playing their first competitive match of the season but are unlikely to take their opponents lightly.
Augsburg have made it at least to the second round in five of their last six appearances, which is likely to continue. Our Energie Cottbus vs Augsburg prediction is Augsburg wins.
