Bundesliga: Augsburg vs Borussia Dortmund live
Preview
On Sunday at 3:30 pm (GMT), Borussia Dortmund will try to secure the top spot in the Bundesliga standings by defeating Augsburg at the WWK Arena. Augsburg, on the other hand, may need to win their last two games to avoid relegation, depending on how other teams perform.
To be honest, Augsburg are likely safe from relegation as Schalke 04 and Stuttgart would have to win both of their remaining matches to put them in danger. Augsburg could have secured their spot in the top league by winning against VfL Bochum, but unfortunately lost 3-2. Nonetheless, they have enough points to ensure their 13th consecutive season in Germany’s top flight.
BVB have made impressive progress towards winning their first Bundesliga title since 2011-12. However, the fans of Signal Iduna are thankful to RB Leipzig for beating Bayern Munich in their recent match at Allianz Arena. Leipzig won by three goals to one, leaving only one point between the two title contenders. If Dortmund win this game, they will take the top spot in the league. Edin Terzic’s team enters this match with a record of six consecutive games without a loss, including impressive victories of 6-0 against Wolfsburg and 5-2 against Borussia Monchengladbach in their two previous matches. Dortmund’s only option at this point is to concentrate on securing a victory against Augsburg this Sunday and Mainz 05 the following weekend to ensure their title win.
Head-to-head
Dortmund have a recent history of success against Augsburg, having won three out of the last four matches. In their most recent game this season, Dortmund emerged victorious with a score of 4-3.
Prediction
The conditions are perfect for Dortmund to step up and achieve the necessary victory to take them to the top. I don’t think they will falter under the pressure of the big game on Sunday, and I anticipate that Terzic will motivate his team to perform well as they strive for the elusive Bundesliga championship.
