Augsburg vs Borussia Dortmund prediction, preview, team news and more | Bundesliga 2021-22

Augsburg host Borussia Dortmund at the WWK Arena in the Bundesliga on Sunday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.

Augsburg have been woeful this season and are currently 17th in the league. Markus Weinzierl’s side have only won two of their last ten games across all competitions and will look to turn things around with a win against Dortmund on Sunday.

Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, are currently 2nd in the league, six points off Bayern Munich at the top of the table. Marco Rose’s side were eliminated from the Europa League by Rangers in midweek and will look to bounce back with a win against Augsburg on Sunday.

This will be a great opportunity for Borussia Dortmund to close the gap on Bayern Munich with a win against Augsburg on Sunday.

Augsburg vs Borussia Dortmund Head-to-Head

Borussia Dortmund have dominated the recent head-to-head record between the two sides, having won four of their last five meetings, with Augsburg winning only one.

Dortmund came away as 2-1 winners in the reverse fixture earlier this season. Goals from Raphael Guerreiro and Julian Brandt were enough to secure all three points, while Andi Zeqiri got on the scoresheet for Augsburg.
