The Fuggerstädter will be at home, and they are going to use it to their advantage. They have not performed well since the start of the season.

FC Augsburg have only won two of their initial eight games of the ongoing German league campaign. They must come up with a different strategy for their upcoming fixture.

Borussia Dortmund have come up with decent efforts this season. Even though they have not displayed the best of the performances, BVB are placed fourth on the Bundesliga points table.

Players to Watch

Mert Komur (Augsburg)

The 20-year-old will be looking to step up his game, as the upcoming league game is not going to be an easy affair for the hosts. Mert Komur can control the ball well in the midfield despite being a youngster and can also be dangerous in the final third. He has four goal contributions in seven league outings this season.

Serhou Guirassy (Dortmund)

Serhou Guirassy is going to cause problems for the opponent’s defence from the start. In seven Bundesliga appearances this season, the 29-year-old has found the net four times and also has an assist to his name. He is an important asset for BVB in the attacking front and will be looking to add more goals to his tally.
