Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Bundesliga match.
Borussia Dortmund will be unveiling a special edition kit for this fixture and will be keen to mark the occasion with a convincing victory. With the race for the top four intensifying, they cannot afford any slip-ups as they battle Stuttgart, Leipzig, and other rivals.
Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund’s attacking brilliance was on full display in their recent fixtures, dismantling Union Berlin (6:0) and St. Pauli (2:0). Across those matches, Borussia Dortmund accumulated 7.68 xG in 180 minutes. Serhou Guirassy, who netted five goals in those two matches, taking his Bundesliga tally to 14 goals and 2 assists. At home, Borussia Dortmund boast the third-best expected goals tally in the Bundesliga (28.20), trailing only Bayer Leverkusen (28.58) and Bayern Munich (41.61).
Augsburg
Augsburg are relatively safe from relegation danger, but a top-half finish looks unlikely. Their away form has been a major weakness—they have conceded 23 goals in 12 away matches, with only Werder Bremen (27) conceding more among the top 12 clubs. Additionally, key defensive absences will make things even tougher for Augsburg, particularly the loss of Mergim Berisha.
Borussia Dortmund vs Augsburg Prediction
Borussia Dortmund have dominated this fixture in recent years, winning their last six home meetings against Augsburg, scoring a total of 23 goals in those encounters. With momentum, firepower, and home advantage on their side, Borussia Dortmund should comfortably hit the over 1.5 goal mark in this clash.
