Dortmund vs Augsburg Prediction & Betting tips
Before we deal with the Bundesliga kick-off of Borussia Dortmund on Saturday afternoon against FC Augsburg more intense, a short flashback must be allowed. In the past season, exactly these two teams delivered an epic fight in the Signal Iduna Park, which will also be seen in many retrospect broadcasts in many years.
The Black and Yellow won 4: 3 in a dramatic match, although they had been 1-0 down to ten minutes from time. In the last ten minutes, however, the events turned over, so that in the end a directly converted free-kick by Paco Alcacer in stoppage time ensured the acclaimed threesome of Borussia.
Although the emotional success of the last season gave the whole team a real push, coach Lucien Favre would not mind if BVB could make a confident and smooth victory this weekend. If we give credit to the quotas between Dortmund and Augsburg, this scenario seems anything but unlikely.
The championship candidate from the pot, who has strengthened in the high-profile in the summer, is fondly favored, although the Fuggerstädter presented in recent years, often as an uncomfortable guest in the Dortmund football temple. Only two of the youngest six home games designed the ball game club victorious.
Partly because of this, and because the FCA under the direction of coach Martin Schmidt after the blamable cup-out certainly to make amends, we would – also due to the low odds – at the match Dortmund against Augsburg to give up a forecast on the outcome of the game. Instead, it may well be like setting late goals last year …
Dortmund:
Admitting mistakes and not committing mistakes a second time is definitely a sign of quality. Related to Borussia Dortmund, this means that the black and yellow, unlike last year, when you even with nine points lead the goal “championship” did not proclaim public, the season 2019/2020 immediately start with the ambition, the shell back in the To get a pot.
Primarily responsible for the self-confident appearance of the decision-makers around Michael Zorc, Sebastian Kehl or Hans-Joachim Watzke is of course the promising transfer summer that Borussia has laid down.
With actors such as Nico Schulz, Julian Brandt, Thorgan Hazard and above all, of course, Mats Hummels, the squad could be meaningfully strengthened both in the top and in the width. With the exception of Cristian Pulisic there was also no appreciable departure to cope. Lucien Favre is therefore spoiled for choice and also hopes for an additional stimulation from the heated competition.
So far, the new BVB leaves a very strong impression. All seven test matches in the preparation were made victorious. In addition, the Westphalia picked up the official Supercup for the first time since 2014 by a 2-0 win against FC Bayern. Also gave the Dortmund in the previous week against Uerdingen in the first major round of the DFB Cup no nakedness (2: 0).
The current strong early form in connection with the existing potential leads us to the assumption that on Saturday afternoon between Dortmund and Augsburg the tip for a home win under normal circumstances will be crowned with success. In addition, the home strength of BVB can be cited as another argument.
With 14 wins, two draws and a single defeat in the district derby against FC Schalke 04 the Black and Yellow not only the best home team in the Bundesliga, but could also register in the record books. Never before has a team managed to score in 17 Bundesliga home games at least twice per game.
Not a few of the 52 goals in front of a home crowd fell in the final phase of each match, because in this regard, the Borussia was also league tip. Over the course of every 34 games, Marco Reus and his team score 25 goals in the last 15 minutes. Alone nine times brought the Dortmund in injury time the game device in the opponent’s housing.
Admittedly, it is difficult to transform statistics from the past season into the new season. However, it is undoubtedly clear that the Favre-Elf 2019/2020 will also have strengths in fast switching play.
Since these “counter-situations” usually prevail in the final quarter of an hour, it makes sense to face the duel Dortmund vs. Germany. Augsburg the odds on a late hit, no matter which team to examine more closely.
Personally, the Swiss coach can draw almost full. Only Guerreiro and Morey have to pass due to injury. For the ailing Julian Brandt is an assignment from the beginning probably too early. Julian Weigl could once again enter the vacant place on the “double six” alongside Alex Witsel. Mario Götze, on the other hand, has to hope for a substitution if he wants to wear the BVB jersey in a competitive match for the 200th time.
Augsburg:
While Borussia Dortmund with nine wins on Matchday 1 in the past eleven years (also four successes last in a row) is a real top starter, FC Augsburg usually takes a little longer to come out of the imaginary starting blocks of the Bundesliga.
Only in the last season, the Fugger city could defeat the homemade curse and for the first time after seven previously winless games (a draw, six defeats) finally celebrate a threesome to kick off. The protégés of coach Martin Schmidt also aim for a positive start on Saturday afternoon, although a significant increase in performance compared to the last competitive match will be necessary.
In the first round of the DFB Cup, the Red-Green-Whites had sensationally strike at the Western regional league SC Verl sails. Despite more possession and numerous chances of bulletins, the Bundesliga side defiled in 1: 2 to the bone and throbbing in the league everyday life therefore all the more to redress.
The disappointing retirement in the German club cup had already hinted, by the way, because already the last two friendly matches against Bologna (2: 3) and Villarreal (2: 6) revealed large deficits in the defensive area.
That the FCA without self-confidence and with pronounced uncertainty in the defense network now compete in the Signal Iduna Park, could turn out to be a problem.
In eight out of a total of 16 games against Borussia, the Fuggerstädter conceded at least three goals. BVB scored a record 21 goals in eight matches, more than any other current league rivals.
Instead, the mentioned bets are more interesting for a late goal, as with 20 goals in the final quarter of an hour, the FCA belonged in the preseason to the most vulnerable teams in the House of Lords.
At least in terms of transfer activities you can not blame Stefan Reuter’s management. For the new goalkeeper Koubek, left-back Iago, Carlos Gruezo, Florian Niederlechner, Ruben Vargas, Mads Pedersen, Marek Suchy and Noah Sarenren-Bazee gave the southern Swabians a total of nearly 30 million euros.
These were very high for Augsburg conditions, only by the sale of Martin Hinteregger, the loan of Kevin Danso and the departure of Jonathan Schmid. The bottom line is that coach Martin Schmidt, who took over the job in April and scored seven points in seven games, has a homogeneous squad that once again has nothing to do with the descent.
At the beginning Cordova, Framberger, Giefer, Götze, Hahn, Max Sarenren-Bazee and Iago can not participate. Alfred Finnbogason, however, has overcome his injury, but should still be second choice behind Niederlechner for the time being. Nevertheless, the Icelander provided on Thursday with his early contract extension until 2022 for the mood highlight of an otherwise dreary week in Augsburg.
