Grossaspach's sample looks similar on the surface, nine wins, five draws and six losses from twenty games, with 54 scored and 34 against. But a good chunk of those matches are 3. Liga or friendly fixtures rather than proof against Bundesliga-standard sides. The numbers flatter the comparison a bit.

Similar win ratios don't mean similar quality once you account for who they've actually been playing.

A couple of names to watch for Augsburg

There's not much team news to go on here, but Rodrigo Ribeiro and K. Jakić both picked up yellow cards in their most recent outing for Augsburg. It's only one match each in the data, so it doesn't tell us much about suspension risk, just something worth keeping an eye on if either picks up another card early.

Cup football against the level gap

On paper, Augsburg arrive as the far stronger side given they're playing regularly in the Bundesliga while Grossaspach's football has mostly been a division or more below that. Cup ties like this can go either way, though. A big favourite doesn't always turn up with full focus, especially away from home in an early knockout round, and a lower-league side often has nothing to lose.

It's also worth remembering the kickoff is still a month out from when this form was recorded, so neither side's matchday squad is locked in yet. Rotation, fitness and how seriously each club treats the competition could all shift things by the time it's actually played.
