FC Augsburg vs Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund are unbeaten in their last seven Bundesliga games against FC Augsburg (W5, D2) – of teams currently in the top flight, they only boast a longer undefeated run right now against St. Pauli (11 games). However, they have only managed two wins from their last six trips to Augsburg (D2, L2, previously W5 from 6).

FC Augsburg have lost 10 of their 14 Bundesliga games since the start of April (W3, D1) – only VfL Bochum have suffered as many defeats during this period, and no Bundesliga team has lost more often. All 10 of FCA’s points in this timeframe have come at home.

Nine of FC Augsburg’s 10 Bundesliga goals this season have come at home – they have scored a league-high proportion of their goals on home turf (90%). Including last season, opponents Borussia Dortmund are currently on a five-game wait for a Bundesliga away win (D1, L4), something that last happened to them between August and November 2019 under Lucien Favre.

With 13 points from seven games, BVB are four points worse off than at the same stage of last season. Over the previous nine Bundesliga campaigns, Dortmund have only had fewer points on the board after seven matchdays in 2019/20 (12 points under Lucien Favre).

Just one of Borussia Dortmund’s 13 points this season has come on the road and they rank 16th in the away form table. It’s also the first time in 12 years that BVB have started a campaign with three winless away games, while Nuri Sahin is their first coach since Jürgen Röber in 2007 to fail to win any of his first three Bundesliga away games in charge.
