FC Augsburg
FC Augsburg has had an inconsistent season so far, with a record of 4 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses. Their recent form shows a pattern of draws and a single win in their last five matches, indicating a resilient but not always victorious side. The team's goal difference stands at -4, suggesting some difficulties in outscoring opponents.
Their last fixture ended in a defeat against Werder Bremen with a scoreline of 2-0 at the wohninvest WESERSTADION. Despite the loss, playing at their home ground, the WWK Arena, could provide them with the much-needed boost to turn things around.
Historically, Augsburg's recent performances against Borussia Dortmund have not been favorable, with no wins, one draw, and four losses in their last encounters. However, being the home team this time around might give them an edge to possibly upset the odds.
Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund comes into this match after experiencing a bit of a rollercoaster in their recent form. With 7 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses this season, they have shown potential but also vulnerability. Their last five games have seen two losses, one draw, and two wins – a pattern that highlights their inconsistency.
The previous game for Dortmund was a narrow defeat against RB Leipzig with a scoreline of 3-2 at their home ground SIGNAL IDUNA PARK. Despite the loss, they have managed to maintain a positive goal difference of +5 over the course of the season.
When it comes to head-to-head matchups against FC Augsburg, Dortmund has dominated with four wins and one draw in their last five meetings. This record will undoubtedly give them confidence going into the match away from home.
