Augsburg

Let's talk about Augsburg, or the Fuggers. Augsburg spent last season struggling to avoid relegation from the division and they managed to skip the relegation playoff. Currently, the team are at a safe distance from the relegation zone and are holding 9th place in the league table with 17 points. Augsburg appear to be in fine form, having not lost in seven consecutive games, a streak that just ended last round. After their home victory over Eintracht F (2:1), the lads travelled away to Werder, where they couldn't score but conceded twice. 

Borussia Dortmund

Let's talk about the Black and Yellows. Last season they finished in second place for the second consecutive time. After a great start to the season, where Borussia Dortmund were on par with Bayer and Bayern, the team slightly dropped in positions. Now, they are closing the top-five teams, having gained 25 points.

The recent games for the club didn't prove to be anything cheerworthy. In the German Cup, they let in 2 unanswered goals away at Stuttgart. In the last round of the Bundesliga, they lost to RB Leipzig 2-3 at home. Their latest match in the Champions League was against PSG, in which both teams drew, each scoring and conceding one goal. 

Previous Matchups

In their last 5 games against each other, Borussia Dortmund emerged as winners 4 times. In their last face-to-face encounter, which took place on the 21st of May this year, Borussia Dortmund scored 3 unanswered goals.

Forecast

So, let's make a decision about the best bet to place in this match, considering all of the above. We're looking at a tense fight between two teams aiming to recover from last weekend's losses. On paper, Borussia Dortmund look like the favourites. But Augsburg have been performing well at home this season, not losing there in four consecutive matches. I suggest not trying to predict the winner, but betting that both clubs will manage to score at least one goal.

Total Forecast

Augsburg at home tend to thrill their fans with plenty of goals. Borussia Dortmund also have the potential to put on a good show in attack. I think this match will be rich in goals. I'd place a bet on over 2.5 total goals. Good luck and enjoy the game, dear friends!
