Dortmund vs Augsburg – Betting Preview
Dortmund and Augsburg will square off in an intriguing matchup to open Sunday’s Bundesliga action, and Dortmund will be hoping to grab the headlines as Sebastien Haller makes his eagerly anticipated competitive debut after miraculously surviving a testicular cancer diagnosis!
Dortmund Preview
With surprise packages Freiburg in their normal second place before of this round, the hosts were just nine points behind the leaders coming into 2023, thus a decisive victory over Augsburg would undoubtedly send a message to the teams above.
The addition of Union Berlin full-back Julian Ryerson, a player who has contributed significantly to the fantastic accomplishments the Berliners have accomplished over the previous several seasons, is also encouraging for Edin Terzic’s team.
Augsburg Preview
With each game that goes by without a win, visiting manager Enrico Maassen observes his team being drawn closer to the danger zone; the streak has already lasted a league-worst seven games (D3, L4). He is up against it if he hopes to defeat his former team in his first senior managerial position since leaving Dortmund II.
Augsburg are the side that have taken the fewest shots from open play this term (102) whilst allowing opposition sides to take a league-high 179 against them!
