Dortmund vs Augsburg

Borussia Dortmund vs Augsburg Bundesliga Match Preview: Probable Lineups, Prediction, Tactics, Team News & Key Stats.

- Borussia Dortmund have not lost their opening Bundesliga game of a calendar year since the 1-0 setback to Schalke in 2004. While the game is likely to be hard-fought, Dortmund’s match-winners should see them over the line. A serial goalscorer, Haller is someone to keep an eye on, regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench. Having successfully battled cancer he made a stunning return to action in the winter break, scoring a hat-trick against Basel. The ability to call upon such a dangerous player once again would be a shot in the arm for Dortmund and Terzic. The visitors require a win to break their poor streak of form. - Borussia Dortmund have defeated Augsburg at home in their last four Bundesliga meetings. Rafal Gikiewicz should start in goal behind the quartet of Robert Gumny, Maximilian Bauer, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw and Felix Uduokhai. Currently, in the sixth spot, Dortmund face an uphill task in their efforts to qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League. Enrico Maassen’s side have now gone seven league games without a win, a run that has seen them drop to the 14th spot, a mere two points off the relegation zone. Gregor Kobel should start in goal behind the back four of debutant Julian Ryerson, Mats Hummels, Nico Schlotterbeck and Raphael Guerreiro. Edin Terzic’s side are coming off two consecutive losses in the league and cannot afford to drop any more points.

It’s been an uplifting last few weeks for the black and yellow as Sebastien Haller is incredibly back in the team following his cancer diagnosis over the summer. However, Marco Reus is doubtful for the contest because he’s still dealing with an illness. At 7th in the table following Saturday’s results, it’s safe to say that Dortmund have had quite an underwhelming start to the campaign.

[Hertha Berlin](https://www.vavel.com/en/international-football/2022/08/05/germany-bundesliga/1118903-union-berlin-vs-hertha-berlin-bundesliga-preview-gameweek-1-2022.html) while Dion Bejo, Irvin Cardona, and Kelvin Yeboah were all brought to try and bolster the meager Augsburg attack.

With Dortmund in 6th position and 2 points behind the team in 5th position, we expect them to be too good for this Augsburg team in 14th position.

The form of Augsburg and the calibre of players at Dortmund suggest a straight win for Dortmund with over 1.5 goals. Of the 23 matches played, Dortmund have won 14 while Augsburg have won 3. Also, expect over 3.5 cards or over 8.5 corners due to the quality of players at Dortmund's disposal and the way Augsburg have defended this season. The manner the goals are scored against Augsburg makes it difficult for them to win games. This match looks more like a straight win for Dortmund and will go a long way to boost the team's confidence. Playing at home, Dortmund lost their last two games before the break.
