Augsburg vs Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund will be aiming to maintain their pursuit of the frontrunners when they travel to Augsburg for a Friday night German Bundesliga fixture.

The visitors are having a solid campaign and will be feeling confident heading into this clash. They should be too strong for Augsburg, who have been below their best this season.

Augsburg News

Augsburg have struggled to find their best form this season, picking up just two wins from their eight matches so far. Sandro Wagner's team will be desperate for a quick upturn in fortunes as they sit just three points above the relegation zone.

Things appear to be getting worse for Augsburg, who have lost their last two matches, both of which were played at home. First, they were thrashed 6-0 by RB Leipzig last time out in the Bundesliga before losing 1-0 to lower league side Bochum in a midweek DFB Pokal clash.

The defeat to RB Leipzig highlights the defensive problems that have plagued Augsburg this season. These issues mean that three of their last five matches across all competitions have produced over 2.5 goals.

Borussia Dortmund News

It has been a solid campaign for Borussia Dortmund, who have lost just once across all competitions this season. They are currently fourth in the table, seven points off the pace, and will be keen to maintain their pursuit of the leaders.

Borussia Dortmund earned a 1-0 Bundesliga home victory over FC Koln and followed that up by beating Eintracht Frankfurt in penalties in the DFB Pokal following a 1-1 draw. Nico Kovac's team are also unbeaten in seven of their last eight away matches across all competitions.

Scoring goals is not a problem for Borussia Dortmund, who have struck first in two of their last three matches. Three of their last five away matches have also produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Borussia Dortmund have seven wins and two draws, while Augsburg have picked up three victories in the last 12 matches. However, the visitors did the double last season, winning 2-1 at home before a 1-0 away victory in the reverse fixture.

Verdict

Augsburg v Borussia Dortmund

Augsburg and Borussia Dortmund often serve up open contests, and Friday's clash should be no different. With two of their last three meetings producing over 2.5 goals, a repeat is expected here.

Borussia Dortmund will be keen to lay down an early marker, and having scored first in two of their last three matches, should grab the opening goal here. Having also gone unbeaten in seven of their eight Bundesliga fixtures, they should also get the better of Augsburg, who have lost their last two fixtures.
