Augsburg preview: Serious slump in form
Augsburg kicked off their campaign in positive fashion after picking up a couple of competitive wins before giving Bayern Munich a run for their money in a 3-2 defeat.

Jeffrey Gouweleeuw remains unavailable for selection as he continues his recovery from a knee problem which has seen him miss six matches.

Borussia Dortmund preview: Title race doubts
Borussia Dortmund currently find themselves in a familiar position – they are sitting comfortably in the top four, but are already losing serious ground to league leaders Bayern Munich.
Despite only losing one match this entire season, Dortmund are seven points adrift of their arch-rivals, which is already casting a cloud of doubt of their title aspirations.
When it comes to team news, Emre Can and Julien Duranville both remain on the sidelines with injuries, while striker Serhou Guirassy will be looking to end his Bundesliga goal drought.
Predicted lineup: Kobel (GK), Bensebaini, Schlotterbeck, Anton, Svensson, Nmecha, Gross, Ryerson, Chukwuemenka, Adeyemi & Guirassy

Player to watch: Felix Nmecha
Dortmund’s Felix Nmecha has enjoyed a couple of noteworthy outings in recent weeks, scoring a brace against FC Copenhagen in the Champions League before putting in a solid display in the 1-0 win over FC Koln.
The midfielder has scored two career goals against Augsburg, and he will be looking to cause the team more problems this Friday night. Interestingly, he has only scored multiple Bundesliga goals against one other side in his career.
