Borussia Dortmund vs FC Augsburg Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Signal Iduna Park gears up to host the Bavaria outfit.

The Mathweek 25 of the Bundesliga 2024-25 fixtures take us to the Signal Iduna Park where Borussia Dortmund are set to host FC Augsburg.

Borussia Dortmund find themselves in an uncharacteristic 10th position in the Bundesliga points table, enduring a turbulent campaign in Germany’s top flight. Their recent form have been underwhelming, highlighted by a frustrating draw against LOSC Lille in the UEFA Champions League. However, glimpses of revival have surfaced with hard-fought victories over Union Berlin and FC St. Pauli in their recent league encounters.

As they prepare to host Augsburg in their upcoming fixture, Dortmund will be determined to build on their recent wins and reignite their pursuit of a higher standing. The iconic Signal Iduna Park crowd will undoubtedly spur them on, as they seek to reclaim their rhythm and edge closer to the upper half of the table.

As they gear up to face Dortmund, Augsburg will be motivated by the prospect of climbing the table and making a statement. With their defence standing firm and the squad eyeing a breakthrough, a positive result at Signal Iduna Park could inject renewed momentum into their campaign.

Internationally, Guirassy switched his allegiance to Guinea in 2022, becoming a crucial asset for the national side. He scored his debut goal for Guinea during the 2023 AFCON qualification match against Egypt in Morocco. As Borussia Dortmund aim to rekindle their attacking flair, Guirassy’s goal-scoring prowess will be vital in ensuring their fans witness thrilling, high-octane football and hopefully, a climb up the Bundesliga standings.
