Augsburg, Recent FormThe 2-0 away defeat to Werder Bremen will not have sat easily with the Augsburg squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They achieved 51% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Werder Bremen's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Jess Thorup will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 17 games.
Having managed to remain undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home matches at The WWK Arena, they have put together a strong home record of late, winning 3 of these games too.
When it comes to home matches at The WWK Arena, Ermedin Demirović will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 5 league goals for Augsburg in their last 6 home games.
Borussia Dortmund, Recent FormThe Borussia Dortmund players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against RB Leipzig recently, that ended in a 3-2 defeat. In that game they had 54% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to RB Leipzig who had 26 attempts and 8 on target.
Having lost 15 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Edin Terzić will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 11 goals they scored. Their goal scoring streak away from home now stands at 16 games in a row.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Niklas Füllkrug will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Borussia Dortmund.
The last time these two teams met Borussia Dortmund enforced their superiority over Augsburg with a comfortable 0-3 win.
Die Borussen will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 5 encounters with Augsburg. Dortmund have a decent scoring record against Fuggerstädter in recent times, having hit the back of the net 13 times in the last 5 matches between the two.
Augsburg have lost the last 2 times they've faced Dortmund in the league and have failed to win in their last 5 encounters.
With only Raphael Framberger (Cruciate ligament) and Reece Oxford (COVID-19) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Jess Thorup will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Edin Terzić has a number of injury concerns in his Dortmund squad to contend with: Julien Duranville (Thigh), Sébastien Haller (Knee), Youssoufa Moukoko (Hamstring), Felix Nmecha (Hip), Julian Ryerson (Medial Collateral Ligament), Marcel Sabitzer (Calf) and Marius Wolf (Ankle)
