BVB can play in the Champions League next season if they finish in fifth position

Borussia Dortmund have been inconsistent in the league in recent times, with a tight European schedule also there to focus on. Their chances to finish in the top four are all but over, being 5 points behind RB Leipzig with just 3 games to go.

However, this is a must-win game for them if they want to retain any chance for an automatic Champions League spot for next season. However, they can still secure a UCL spot if they finish fifth in the table after German teams have been granted an extra spot in the competition.

Meanwhile, Augsburg have had a pretty impressive season but have fallen off a bit in recent times with just 1 win in their last 5 games. They were comprehensively beaten 3-0 in their last game against Frankfurt.

Kick-Off:

Friday: 4th May 2024, 7 PM IST

Location: Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund, Germany

Players to watch:

Julian Brandt (Borussia Dortmund)

Julian Brandt has shone for Dortmund this season, being their chief creator with 6 goals and 11 assists in the league this season. The German provides creativity and vision for a Dortmund attack that is misfiring a bit in recent times.

Ermedin Demirovic (Augsburg)

This has been a breakout season for Ermedin Demirovic. The Bosnian has an impressive 15 goals and 9 assists this season and would be massively important for Augsburg to hurt Dortmund.

Match Facts:
