At the moment, Augsburg cannot boast of good football. The team occupies the 15th place in the Bundesliga standings.
And a similar situation for the team is due to very weak actions near their goal. 18 goals have already been conceded, and considering that the opponents created chances only on xG 10.4, we can talk about a lot of bad luck.
Given that Borussia has a very good offense, we assume Augsburg’s unsuccessful series of games without a clean sheet will continue.
Nevertheless, the team is able to find the strength to excel at least once. Even with losses, the hosts score goals. Augsburg has an average of 1.42 goals per game. And in the conditions of the home field, you can lay the probability of carrying out an effective attack. At least once.
There is no point in counting on more, given the current form and weaker composition. The injury situation also aggravates the prospects for the upcoming meeting. Several important players of the team, in particular Schlotterbeck and Vargas, will definitely not be able to enter the field right now. And they are systemically important for the Augsburg game.
The guest staff still cannot find stability in their actions, having lost two of their last 5 Bundesliga matches – from Union Berlin (1:2) and a defeat from Stuttgart (1:5).
In the recent UCL match against Real Madrid, the defense also suffered a fiasco (2:5). This suggests that the bumblebees are still very feverish in terms of defensive actions.
The team concedes more than the opponents create: 12 goals against xG 10.3. Since the guests tend to play in the other half with great forces, we can expect an abundance of free zones near their gates. This is not the first season, it is the “Achilles heel” of Borussia.
Nevertheless, in the upcoming match, everything should be fine for Dortmund in terms of attacking actions. There are no critical difficulties with the composition.
The team scores 2 goals per match on average. And, against the crisis Augsburg, it is quite possible to count on an abundance of good moments.
To add to this, it is worth noting that Dortmund knows how to play pressure. That is, if something does not work out, the favorite can “pin” the opponent, and literally push the ball into his goal. After some standard, for example.
Goals Prediction
At the moment, Dortmund is the ideal team for fans of “riding” football. The Bumblebees have been scoring and conceding in 6 games in a row. Augsburg, despite multiple setbacks, is constantly notable for scoring goals in matches against Dortmund. This was the case in 19 of the 20 face-to-face meetings. We believe that even now each of the opponents will have the opportunity to distinguish themselves. Therefore, it makes sense to pay attention to both teams will score – yes.
