Leverkusen came into this Matchday 30 encounter looking to build on their recent momentum, having secured back-to-back Bundesliga victories for the first time since January. Kasper Hjulmand's side still harboured hopes of UEFA Champions League qualification, sitting four points behind fourth place with crucial fixtures against RB Leipzig and VfB Stuttgart on the horizon.
Augsburg, meanwhile, arrived in Leverkusen winless in five games, though with an eight-point cushion above the relegation play-off spot thanks to the positive impact of Manuel Baum, who was set for his 100th Bundesliga match in charge of the Bavarian side since returning to replace Sandro Wagner earlier in the season.
