The Bundesliga match between Borussia Dortmund and Augsburg presents an intriguing midtable clash, with both teams vying for improved standings. Borussia Dortmund, currently positioned 10th in the league with 35 points, aims to extend their unbeaten streak to five matches following a recent 2-0 victory over St. Pauli . However, their home form has been less than stellar, marked by only two wins in the last ten home games. In contrast, Augsburg sits just below them at 11th place with 32 points and is on an impressive eight-match unbeaten run .
The Mathweek 25 of the Bundesliga 2024-25 fixtures take us to the Signal Iduna Park where Borussia Dortmund are set to host FC Augsburg.
Borussia Dortmund find themselves in an uncharacteristic 10th position in the Bundesliga points table, enduring a turbulent campaign in Germany’s top flight. Their recent form have been underwhelming, highlighted by a frustrating draw against LOSC Lille in the UEFA Champions League. However, glimpses of revival have surfaced with hard-fought victories over Union Berlin and FC St. Pauli in their recent league encounters.
Ahead of this round, Dortmund have 35 points and are only three points behind sixth-placed Leipzig. A further three points behind Dortmund are Augsburg, who are silently making a push for European qualification.
Dortmund failed to keep their lead in a 1-1 draw at home against Lille on Tuesday in the Champions League round of 16 first leg. With the second leg coming up next week, they may have distractions. Yet, new coach Niko Kovac has led them to back-to-back league wins for the first time this season after a 2-0 away win against St. Pauli last weekend.
Predicted & Confirmed Lineups
Borussia Dortmund (predicted lineup): Gregor Kobel, Julian Ryerson, Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck, Ramy Bensebaini, Marcel Sabitzer, Pascal Gross, Karim Adeyemi, Julian Brandt, Jamie Gittens, Serhou Guirassy.
Augsburg (predicted lineup): Finn Dahmen, Chrislain Matsima, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Cedric Zesiger, Marius Wolf, Kristijan Jakic, Frank Onyeka, Dimitrios Giannoulis, Fredrik Jensen, Alexis Claude, Phillip Tietz.
Despite Augsburg's 2-1 victory over Dortmund last October, Borussia boasts a superior head-to-head record, winning three of the last five meetings. BVB's recent league form has been excellent offensively and defensively. Augsburg, struggling in attack with four scoreless outings in their last five matches, makes backing Dortmund to win by at least two goals at 2.35 odds an attractive proposition. Given his five goals in the last two Bundesliga games, Serhou Guirassy at 2.10 to score anytime is also a strong bet.
