Borussia’s triumph over PSG guaranteed one extra participant from the Bundesliga in next year’s Champions League. Dortmund, who are currently 5th, will benefit from this after a mediocre domestic season. On the other hand, Augsburg has a realistic chance to attack both the 7th and the 6th spot which will grant the team European exposure next season.
Borussia Dortmund Team News
After a disappointing Bundesliga campaign, Edin Terzic and his team can at least sigh relief due to the extra spot granted to Germany for next year’s Champions League. This, however, will in no way, shape or form change the fact, that Borussia had a mediocre domestic season at best. Their most recent crushing defeat against 4th place rivals, RB Leipzig, virtually solidified the team on the 5th place. With two losses, 1 draw and just 1 victory over their last 4 Bundesliga home games, Dortmund don’t look too focused on the league which can be seen in the team’s league performances.
FC Augsburg Team News
Despite coming to Signal Iduna Park in an underwhelming form as of late, Augsburg’s season can be considered a success and one of the best ones for the team. Participation in UEFA competitions next season is a real possibility for the team, as they are 6 points away from the 6th spot and a mere 1 point is what separates them from the 7th place. Yet, recent results have not been great, with 3 losses for Augsburg in their last 5 Bundesliga fixtures. Two of those losses came on the road and on top of that against teams that can be considered competition for Augsburg’s desired spots – Eintracht Frankfurt and Hoffenheim.
Head-to-Head-Games
Augsburg do not have a win over Dortmund in any of the last 5 times they played one another. Borussia, on the other hand, has managed to win 3 fixtures. At the Signal Iduna Park, Edin Terzic’s team has won their last 5 encounters with Augsburg. All of those games were heavy on the goals, with each one featuring at least 3 goals and scoring done from both sides.

Borussia Dortmund – FC Augsburg Betting Prediction
I will not be surprised if Dortmund decide to rest some players ahead of their 2nd leg trip to Paris. Yet, I still think that there is more than enough quality to ensure a win over an Augsburg side, that has been unconvincing in recent weeks. Not that Borussia has been a consistency model either, but Augsburg have shapen up to be a preferred opponent for The Black and Yellows, especially when games at the Signal Iduna Park are concerned. That is why my pick here is for Borussia Dortmund to win.
