Augsburg welcome the visitors Borussia Dortmund in the German Bundesliga – Round 24. The match will be held on Friday, March, 1st, at the WWK Arena (Augsburg).
The hosting Augsburg have totally crumbled. In the last 13 encounters, the attained just 5 points. The team have descended to the 15th place, running only 4 points off the relegation zone and 2 points off the play-off spots. In the previous 3 matches, Augsburg lost with an aggregate scoreline of 12:3. Their 2:3 defeat to Bayern Munich is understandable, they had no chances but featured quite a decent score in that clash; whilst in the last round, they lost to Freiburg, who are just 2 lines above them, 5:1.

Because of the 3 draws that they registered before the last-round meeting with Bayer, the visiting Borussia Dortmund have been caught up by Bayern Munich (they have 1 spare match though). Against the high-flying Bayer, the guests on the day have succeeded, 3:2, thus proving that there is no crisis in the team and that the above-mentioned drawing streak was just a coincidence.
Considering all this, bookies’ odds on the leaders’ win over one of the clear league outsiders are not quite clear. Of 16 head-to-heads, Augsburg were victors just in one, yet 4 years back in Dortmund, and they lost in 10 other rounds. Augsburg demonstrate poor performance, whereas the giants are fine again, as confirmed in the last match. A slipup against a team of Augsburg’s caliber may cost Borussia a lot – they understand this pretty well and won’t fail for sure. All possible factors – qualification of the squads, the sides’ financial status, their table placement, the style and the quality of their performance, the head-to-head history, the outcomes of the recent fixtures – favor the guests.
Prediction for the match: Borussia Dortmund to win away.
