08.03.2025 17:30
Signal Iduna Park braces itself for an intriguing Bundesliga showdown as Borussia Dortmund host FC Augsburg in what promises to be a pivotal encounter for both sides. Dortmund, with their sights firmly set on securing a top-four finish, enter the fixture boasting a formidable home record, while Augsburg look to extend their unbeaten streak and strengthen their mid-table aspirations. The historical head-to-head favours the hosts, with three wins from their last six meetings against Augsburg. However, the visitors' newfound defensive resilience and recent form make them more than capable of springing a surprise.
The Black and Yellows have been a dominant force at home this season, winning two of their last four Bundesliga fixtures at Signal Iduna Park, scoring 2.3 goals per game while conceding just 0.3. Meanwhile, Augsburg's recent away form paints a picture of defensive solidity, having conceded zero goals in their last four away trips. With both sides bringing contrasting styles – Dortmund's possession-based play versus Augsburg's counter-attacking blueprint – this clash has all the ingredients for an engrossing contest.

Borussia Dortmund's campaign has been marked by inconsistency, but their home form remains a cornerstone of their season. Edin Terzić's men have picked up two wins and two draws from their last four home games, scoring seven goals while conceding just once. Sehrou Guirassy remains their talisman, leading the club's scoring charts with 14 Bundesliga goals in 21 appearances.
Winger Jamie Bynoe-Gittens continues to dazzle with seven goals and three assists, while Julian Brandt’s five assists offer a creative spark. Dortmund’s average possession rate of 60.6% underlines their preference for controlling proceedings, although injuries to key players like Felix Nmecha and Marcel Lotka could disrupt their rhythm.
FC Augsburg
Augsburg's defensive resilience has been the bedrock of their recent resurgence, keeping four consecutive clean sheets away from home. Enrico Maaßen’s side are unbeaten in their last four Bundesliga away matches, including an emphatic 3-0 triumph over Borussia Monchengladbach.
Alexis Claude-Maurice has been their standout performer with nine goals in 21 appearances, while Samuel Essende and Phillip Tietz have chipped in with five goals apiece. Augsburg’s possession average of 43.6% highlights their counter-attacking ethos, with Dimitrios Giannoulis providing four assists from full-back. However, injuries to Yusuf Kabadayi and Reece Oxford may stretch their defensive resources.
