Borussia Dortmund - Augsburg predictions

A home win should not be questioned in this game. Borussia Dortmund are seen as huge favourites to register an easy win against Augsburg and we recommend you take the generous offer of 1.76.

The odds are stacked heavily against Augsburg here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Borussia Dortmund are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.31.

Although Borussia D. are coming on the back of a harsh 4:1 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against RB Leipzig , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

Losing at the home ground is never easy but disappointment grows when you are a 1.76 favourite to win in the first place. Augsburg failed to justify the betting odds last time out against Werder Bremen and will be eager to make amends n Saturday.

The first step Team from Dortmund need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Augsburg’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

Team from Dortmund already seem set to go to the upcoming Europa League campaign – though there’s still time for things to change. Their upcoming clash with Augsburg might push them closer to a Champions League qualification as well.

The home team had several opportunities to beat Augsburg this season, yet never managed to get anything other than a draw. They’re still considered the favourites, though, and the home-field advantage might be just what they need to break the stalemate.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Julien Duranville, Donyell Malen, Ramy Bensebaini, Ian Maatsen. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Fredrik Jensen, Iago, Robert Gumny, Reece Oxford, Raphael Framberger, Elvis Rexhbecaj. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 3.25.
