Moving into second ahead of the weekend’s action is the enticing prize on offer for Borussia Dortmund on Friday night when they travel to Augsburg.
Match News and Current Form
Seven points from their opening eight Bundesliga games serves as Augsburg’s lowest return at this stage since 2021/22, although a four-point haul across the last three rounds hints at a change in fortune. The wider form table reads five defeats in seven league games for Augsburg (W1, D1), whose 6-0 home defeat to Leipzig last weekend will hardly inspire much confidence ahead of the visit of a similarly-ranked opponent. A home game in general is unlikely to stoke a fire inside Augsburg, who have won just one of the last eight Bundesliga games they hosted (D1, L6), and having conceded a league-high 14 home goals this season, it’s clear to see where their biggest issue lies.
Four Bundesliga wins in a row from the end of August to the end of September had Dortmund fans dreaming of a title challenge, but just four points from an available nine since (W1, D1, L1) has tempered expectations. Their sole win in that three-game downturn did arrive last weekend when a late goal earned them a 1-0 victory against Cologne, which would suggest that the demands of consistent midweek football are perhaps starting to catch up with them. Being in Tuesday night DFB-Pokal action before this Friday evening clash seems inopportune then, but with only Bayern Munich beating Dortmund across their last eight away league games (W5, D2), they still have plenty to be optimistic about.
Head-to-Head History
Augsburg completed a famous league double over Dortmund last season, but the home win last term is one of just three they’ve ever managed in this H2H fixture (D4, L8).
