On Saturday afternoon, Augsburg hosts Dortmund at the WWK Arena in the German Bundesliga as both teams look to get back to winning ways in the German top flight.
Augsburg form guideThe Bavarians are currently in ninth place in the Bundesliga, six points short of the European spots, and seven points clear of the relegation play-off spot.
Augsburg’s recent Bundesliga form has been inconsistent. However, Jess Thorup’s team saw a six-game unbeaten run end last time out with a 2-0 defeat at Werder Bremen.
The game in Bremen was another low-scoring game for Augsburg in the Bundesliga, as four of their last five league matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
Augsburg have been difficult to beat on home soil in the Bundesliga, as they have suffered just one defeat in their last seven home games in the German top-flight.
Their recent home games in the league have certainly not lacked goals, with over 2.5 goals scored in seven of their previous eight home league matches.
Dortmund form guideBVB are winless in their last four games in all competitions after a 1-1 midweek Champions League draw with PSG. The draw was enough to see Dortmund win Group F.
Back in the Bundesliga, the visitors have struggled for results of late in the German top flight. A 3-2 home defeat by RB Leipzig last time out in the Bundesliga means they have won just once in their previous six games.
BVB’s recent league matches have at least been entertaining, as five of their previous six outings in the German top flight have produced over 2.5 goals.
Dortmund have failed to win in their previous three away games in the Bundesliga, although they have also suffered just one away defeat in their last nine matches.
What am I backing?Augsburg has been in decent form of late, while Dortmund’s recent form has been poor. However, BVB has been unpredictable in recent weeks. The bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals, as both teams have recently been involved in high-scoring league games.
