Augsburg hosts Borussia Dortmund in round 18 of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, January 18th at WWK Arena (Augsburg)
Augsburg went on a winter break, taking a position in the middle of the tournament standings, and now the team has a comfortable nine-point advantage over the relegation zone. At the beginning of the season, Augsburg was one of the contenders for relegation from the Bundesliga, taking into account the capabilities of the team, but the Fuggers proved that they are ready to fight even without significant resources. Indeed, Augsburg is one of the League’s best home teams, having won three last home games. However, the history of matches with Dortmund is not on the side of the hosts - they managed to win only one out of the last six home meetings and lost four of them. Besides, Borussia has already beat Augsburg this season. This happened in the home arena of the Yellow-Blacks, but the advantage was more than substantial to pass by. Dortmund smashed Augsburg with a 5-1 score.

In general, Borussia has good results, but there is still a feeling that the team is missing something. They are much better than last season, but their game is not as stable as we would like. Nevertheless, now the lag behind the leaders is seven points, and each match will be fundamental for the Yellow-Blacks because the “shortage” of points at the current density in the Bundesliga will quickly displace the Dortmund team from the top three.
Thus, Borussia must earn the maximum number of points in the remaining 17 matches of this season, so the loss of points with opponents such as Mainz, Augsburg, Koln, and Fortuna is simply unacceptable for the team. I think that the match will rather difficult for Dortmund, but they should be stronger in the end. I’ll bet on the usual victory because I think that the advantage will be minimal.
Prediction for the match: Borussia Dortmund to win
