In the last five matchdays, the Fuggerstädter have not been able to win a match, so they will surely come into the Borussia Dortmund vs Augsburg clash looking to obtain points and reclaim the confidence of their supporters. Also, winning could move them up a couple of positions in the standings.
In their last match against Wolfsburg, Augsburg won 1-0. However, the important thing for the team in this new matchday is not to repeat the mistakes of recent months and to start this year with a great victory, such as beating Dortmund.

JefeBet Prediction
Considering the teams’ recent results, we believe that it will be the home team who will take the victory in this Borussia Dortmund vs Augsburg clash. Despite not making it into the top 5 of the competition so far, the Dortmund team performed very well in their winter friendlies, which helped their players get into rhythm and form a partnership. The team will be looking to meet their objectives for the new year, which include aiming for the top of the local tournament.
Prediction: Borussia Dortmund win 2-0.
