Match Preview: BVB Look to Return to Winning Ways Against Augsburg

Buoyed by midweek triumph, Borussia Dortmund will aim to return to winning ways in the Bundesliga when they host Augsburg on Saturday.

Edin Terzic's men snapped a three-game winless run in all competitions with a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Chelsea in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday.

Borussia Dortmund

Dortmund's domestic form has been somewhat inconsistent of late, with just one win from their last four league outings.

However, they will be confident of getting back on track against an Augsburg side who have lost their last three Bundesliga matches.

Dortmund will be without the suspended Julian Brandt for the visit of Augsburg, but Karim Adeyemi could return to the starting lineup after recovering from a knock.

Augsburg

Augsburg are currently 13th in the Bundesliga table, eight points above the relegation zone.

However, they have lost their last three league games and will need to improve their form if they are to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle.

Augsburg have a number of injury concerns ahead of the trip to Dortmund, with Ruben Vargas, Daniel Caligiuri, and Reece Oxford all doubtful.

Head-to-Head

Dortmund have won the last five meetings between the two sides in all competitions.

Augsburg's last victory over Dortmund came in the 2018-19 season, when they won 2-1 at home.

Dortmund have scored at least two goals in each of their last four meetings with Augsburg.

Prediction

Dortmund will be confident of victory against Augsburg, who have been in poor form of late.

The hosts have a strong record against their opponents and will be looking to get back to winning ways in the Bundesliga.

Prediction: Borussia Dortmund 2-0 Augsburg
