Borussia Dortmund vs Augsburg prediction: Margins could be slim

Key Stats

• Augsburg managed to win three and draw two of their last five away assignments in the Bundesliga.
• Dortmund conceded just one goal in their last four matches in all competitions combined.
• Six cards were handed out when Dortmund and Augsburg last met in October.

Correct score prediction: Borussia Dortmund 1-1 Augsburg

Borussia Dortmund and Augsburg have been doing some top work defensively in recent weeks, so expect both defences to be tough to breach on Saturday. A low-scoring draw could be the outcome to consider in the markets.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Dortmund are clear favourites

• HOME: 8/15 (1.53) – 65.2%
• DRAW: 10/3 (4.33) – 23.1%
• AWAY: 5/1 (6.00) – 16.7%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Borussia Dortmund were involved in Champions League action against Lille (1-1) in midweek, though the 8/15 favourites are chasing their third win on the spin in the Bundesliga.

Augsburg are unbeaten in eight games and have won three of their last five on the road, so they look overpriced to win at 5/1 here. Read more of our latest football predictions and analysis on our dedicated page.

Player to watch – Finn Dahmen

Finn Dahmen has made the number one position at Augsburg his own over the past couple of months and the 26-year-old keeper has been in terrific form between the sticks for his club.

Dahmen could be busy against Dortmund

Dahmen managed to keep clean sheets in each of his last four appearances for Augsburg, though keeping a star-studded Dortmund attack at bay could be a more difficult task. Dahmen is playing with a huge degree of confidence however, and will tackle the challenge head on.
