Augsburg vs. Borussia Dortmund: Match Prediction
Conceding six goals to Leipzig in the last round highlighted Augsburg's defensive weaknesses – the club has already let in 20 goals this season, the worst record in the league. Furthermore, even at home, the team rarely manages to defend effectively: in their last eight home Bundesliga matches, Augsburg has kept a clean sheet only once and conceded at least two goals in six instances.
Dortmund favors attacking football and aims to spend as much time as possible in the opposition's half. This style positively impacts their scoring, even away from home: Borussia has scored in their last eight away league matches, with at least two goals in seven of them. I expect another effective attacking display from Dortmund, and my prediction: Borussia Dortmund Individual Total Over 1.5
