In the 15th round of the German Bundesliga, a match between Augsburg and Borussia Dortmund will take place at the WWK Arena on Saturday, December 16th. The game is set to start at 15:30 Central European Time.
Augsburg
Augsburg seems to be an average Bundesliga team this season, which is considered quite usual. After 14 rounds, the team sits in the ninth position on the league table with 17 points. Following a series of three consecutive draws, Augsburg finally secured a victory, defeating a strong Eintracht side at home, but in the last round, they were defeated by Werder Bremen away.
Borussia Dortmund
Stability. This word encapsulates what seems to be lacking in this team. While the team managed successful performances in the Champions League, they've failed to impress domestically. Dortmund has already been eliminated from the German Cup, where they could have expected victory after Bayern Munich's exit, and they currently hold the fifth position in the Bundesliga. They haven't been able to beat the teams positioned above them in the league this season. Their matches against Bayer Leverkusen ended in a draw, while they lost to Bayern Munich, Stuttgart, and RB Leipzig.
Interesting Match Facts and History of Personal Meetings
- Augsburg has lost only one home game this season but has both scored and conceded in all their home games.
- Borussia Dortmund hasn't won an away Bundesliga match since September.
- In only two out of the last 15 personal meetings, the 'both teams to score' bet did not pay off.
Prediction
I believe this game could witness a high number of goals. Betting on a total of over 3 goals seems to offer a good betting opportunity according to the bookmakers.
