Borussia Dortmund will be hoping to keep their push for a Champions League finish in the Bundesliga standings on track this weekend when they host Augsburg. The visitors arrive into this match in poor recent form, which could damage their chances.
It hasn’t been the most straightforward season for Dortmund this term, and their place in next season’s Champions League could yet hinge on finishing in the top four positions in their domestic league. Dortmund comes into this round of matches after going two without a defeat, while they have recorded just one win across their last four.
The German giants now trail RB Leipzig by five points in the battle for fourth, which could prove to be a gap that’s too big with matches running out on the schedule. Dortmund were firmly put in their place by their direct rivals last weekend after suffering a 4-1 defeat on the road against Leipzig. A response will be expected on Saturday.
Augsburg are quietly enjoying a fine season in the Bundesliga this term, as they appear on course to finish in the top half of the standings. The German side currently sits eighth in the standings after winning ten of their 31 matches this term, and they could yet climb to seventh with a success this weekend.
However, their recent form would be a huge concern when it comes to their chances of achieving that. Augsburg have suffered defeats in each of their last two matches, and they have recorded maximum points on just one occasion across their last five. Their most recent defeat was inflicted at home against Werder Bremen last Saturday.
Dortmund have won two of the last three matches between these sides, and they currently boast a six-match unbeaten sequence against their rivals. Augsburg’s last win against Dortmund was recorded at home in September 2020, but they are without an away success against their rivals since February 2015.
Dortmund have dominated the previous encounters between these sides, and they are unbeaten in eight home matches against Augsburg. Despite the hosts being likely to rest a number of stars, we expect them to still have far too much for their rivals on Saturday.
