As Bundesliga action kicks off this weekend, Augsburg welcomes Borussia Dortmund in what promises to be a thrilling Friday night showdown. With Dortmund aiming to leap into second place, this match carries massive momentum stakes — and Kenyan football fans will be watching closely.
Match Overview
Dortmund travel to Augsburg knowing victory could set the tone heading into the busy November period. Augsburg, meanwhile, is desperate to bounce back after a disastrous 6-0 defeat to RB Leipzig last weekend — a result that has left confidence low in Bavaria.
Current Form and Team News
Augsburg
- Only 7 points from 8 matches — their worst start since 2021/22.
- 5 defeats in the last 7 Bundesliga matches.
- Conceded a league-high 14 home goals already this season.
- Only one win in their last eight home league games (D1, L6).
Despite a slight improvement in recent rounds, their heavy defeat last weekend highlights their defensive fragility.
Borussia Dortmund
- Started strong with four straight league wins, but has had a recent dip (W1, D1, L1).
- Grinding wins despite fatigue — a late winner secured 1-0 over Cologne last time out.
- Only Bayern have beaten them in 8 away games (W5, D2).
Despite midweek DFB-Pokal action, Dortmund remain in great away form and tactically disciplined.
Squad Notes: No significant new injury concerns from either side.
Head-to-Head and Key Stats
- Augsburg shocked Dortmund with a league double last season.
- But historically, Dortmund dominate: Augsburg have won just 3 of 15 H2H meetings.
