Augsburg v Borussia Dortmund: Bundesliga Action on Match-day 24

Sunday Bundesliga action from the WWK Arena, as Augsburg take on Dortmund.

With Champion’s League positions always a key motivation, second placed Dortmund remain in contention as they travel to sixteenth placed Augsburg.

Augsburg’s Bundesliga season, has so far seen them gain 22 points, going into this game

Whilst Augsburg need a positive result from this fixture, they cannot afford to throw caution to the wind. Another successive defeat for Fuggerstädter after losing against SC Freiburg and B Mönchengladbach would represent a worrying sign of where they are just now.

Also, Markus Weinzierl’s Augsburg have lost four of their last six matches this season. Their position is sixteenth in the League and they have 22 points, that is, 5W, 11L and 7D having won five fixtures, drawn seven games, and lost 11 meetings.

When Augsburg host Dortmund, they will do so on the back of four wins, three draws, and four losses on their own ground.

Augsburg will have 25 points if they manage to secure a victory.

Augsburg may have to resort to second choice players, given the number of first choice players that are now unavailable through injury, illness or suspension.

With the Bundesliga season well into its stride, Borussia Dortmund have managed to gain 49 points

With two wins in a row under his belt, Marco Rose takes his Dortmund team into this game full of confidence, and hopeful of another successive victory.

Also, Dortmund keep finding ways to win, having secured 14 victories in their last 20 matches is astonishing this season, which has contributed significantly to their rise up the table. Now they have 16 matches won, 6 games lost and 1 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in second place, with a total of 49 points having won 16 meetings, drawn one game, and lost six games.

Dortmund’s away record is remarkable and poses a significant threat to Augsburg. In the 11 games they’ve played on the road this season, they have so far won six fixtures, drawn one game, and lost four games.

A win in this fixture, would take Borussia Dortmund’s points from 49 to 52, so far this season.

Dortmund’s ever growing list of players missing due to injury or illness to be a concern for Marco Rose, ahead of this Sunday’s fixture against their opponents.
