Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund will be looking to build after their good start to their campaign in the Bundesliga, as Alley Sport brings Borussia Dortmund predicted lineup vs Augsburg and insights into their upcoming clash against the struggling bottom half side.
Dortmund’s sale of winger Jadon Sancho, a key figure in their dressing room has slowed down the Der BVB’s momentum towards winning the Bundesliga Meisterschale. Despite being a team that makes world beaters and Dortmund historically has been a selling club. But with the start of their new campaign, Dortmund has made a decent start to their Bundesliga campaign, winning 4 of their last 6 league matches. They brought in two new faces at the club in this window like attacker Donyell Malen and goalkeeper Gregor Kobel to add to a squad full of talent. Despite their aspirations, Der BVB and Marco Rose find themselves a little bit off their pace.
Borussia Dortmund predicted lineup vs Augsburg: Preview
Dortmund won their previous 3 out of 5 Bundesliga matches, which has raised questions on Marco Rose’s quality of coaching of the talented group of players at the club. They have a difficult run of fixtures in their next five games with Mainz(H), Arminia(H), Köln(A), RB Leipzig(H) and VfB Stuttgart(A). In such a scenario, Dortmund and Rose will be hoping to work on their consistency despite disappointment in Gameweek 6.
The game against Mönchengladbach was one which was a challenging proposition on paper and became even greater when Denis Zakaria scored in the 37th minute for Mönchengladbach. It then became ‘Mission Impossible’ when midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud received a second yellow card in the 40th minute. Being down to 10 men, Dortmund was unable to make any penetration into Mönchengladbach’s defense. The absence of clinical finishing and inability to step up in crucial moments really put the game away beyond Dortmund’s reach.
Borussia Dortmund vs Augsburg : Prediction
Dortmund will be the favorite going into the tie because they will be coming back in search of a win at home and will once again be an opportunity for Rose to prove his doubters. My prediction for the game would be a challenging contest ending in a 3-1 victory for the home side at Signal Iduna Park. It will be a much straight forward game for the Der BVB as they navigate their way through a tough adjustment period, but will be keen to end up with a win against Augsburg. Augsburg will be a team desperate for a positive result, with the likes of captain Jeffrey Gouweleeuw and Daniel Caligiuri determined to cause Dortmund issues at every step.
Borussia Dortmund predicted lineup vs Augsburg: Latest Team News
Borussia Dortmund’s squad faces a few injury problems with players like defenders Dan-Axel Zagadou, Nico Schulz and Marcel Schmelzer expected to miss out due to different injuries. Dortmund midfielder Emre Can is also ruled out of the game against Augsburg after his prolonged injury woes. However, Dortmund attacking midfielders Giovani Reyna and Julian Brandt would be expected to be fit to make the matchday squad later this month. Their superstar striker Erling Haaland is expected to lead the Der BVB attack against a defence hoping to stop letting goals to be scored against them. Jude Bellingham will be lining up alongside Dahoud and Brandt at the heart of midfield.
