Dortmund vs Augsburg prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-03-07 14:30.
[p]Borussia Dortmund’s revival under Niko Kovač continued as they extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to four matches (W2, D2) on Tuesday with a 1-1 UEFA Champions League draw against Lille. Kovač has now also guided them to back-to-back Bundesliga wins for the first time this season, both with a clean sheet, after beating St Pauli 2-0 last weekend.[/p]
[p]The comprehensive 6-0 victory over Union Berlin here at Signal Iduna Park one week earlier finally ended a dismal run of five home league games without victory (D3, L2), giving Dortmund fans hope that they can still push for European qualification. The visit of Augsburg should inspire further confidence, as the Prussians are unbeaten at home in the league this term against sides currently sitting below them in the table (W4, D2). [/p]
[p]Augsburg only trail Dortmund by three points and are on their longest unbeaten run in the German top flight since 2013/14 (W4, D4), which has helped them move well away from danger and near the top half. Having just achieved a club record by not conceding in any of their last four Bundesliga outings (W1, D3), the Fuggerstädter can perhaps dream of not only a positive result but also a first clean sheet in this fixture since September 2020 (W1, D2, L5).[/p]
[p]Having lost the last six away H2Hs and not won here since February 2015 (D2, L7), that remains a tall order for Jess Thorup’s side, even if they are buoyed by being unbeaten across their last five away league fixtures (W3, D2). That’s their longest such run since they also went five Bundesliga away games without defeat between February and April 2018, a sequence that started with a 1-1 draw here![/p]
[p]Key battle: Serhou Guirassy has scored five goals across Dortmund’s last two league fixtures, with the last four of them arriving after half-time. He’ll have his work cut out to beat Augsburg goalkeeper Finn Dahmen, who broke the club record of 399 minutes without conceding a Bundesliga goal during last weekend’s 0-0 draw with Freiburg.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: No side in Europe’s traditional top-five leagues has kept more league clean sheets than Augsburg this calendar year (six).[/p]
