FC Augsburg vs Dortmund Prediction & Betting tips
Borussia Dortmund resumes the season with a away game against FC Augsburg. The visitors will have to attend the lesson, as Augsburg played a strong first half of the season.
FC Augsburg:
FC Augsburg was without a doubt one of the positive surprises before the winter break. The club from the west of Bavaria does not have a selection with impressive names, but the performance gradually improved during the first half of the season. Thanks to a good series, in which no fewer than sixteen points were won from six games, Die Fuggerstädter is now firmly in the middle bracket. The last game of 2019 was lost, visiting RB Leipzig (3-1).
“We want to try to show the development that we started in the fall directly in the first game [of the second half of the season],” said trainer Martin Schmidt during the weekly press conference. “It is clear that Dortmund is the favorite, but we still have something to make up,” the coach referred to the earlier game his team played against the club from Westphalia. In August Augsburg suffered a 5-1 defeat in Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund:
Variability characterized Borussia Dortmund in the second half of 2019. In qualitative terms, Der BVB has a great selection, with excellent players in every line. In practice the yellow-blacks often had a hard time performing consistently. The necessary points were lost. Of the seventeen Bundesligaduels, Dortmund won only eight, and in the Champions League it didn’t always go smoothly either. They did qualify for the eighth finals of the billiard ball. Paris SG will be the opponent in this next month.
During the winter break, striker Erling Haaland came to Dortmund. Almost the entire European top was after the Norwegian goal-getter, but it was Dortmund who succeeded in contracting him. Trainer Lucien Favre tried in recent weeks to dampen expectations about the young goal scorer, which is wise in itself. A base place for Haaland in Saturday’s match is not likely. Jadon Sancho, Marco Reus and Thorgan Hazard will probably be in the front line.
