BVB v FC Augsburg: Predicted line-ups | OneFootball

Rarely enough, Borussia Dortmund plays this Saturday at the classic kickoff time of 3:30 PM in the Bundesliga. The guest for this home game at Signal Iduna Park will be FC Augsburg. Here is everything important about the personnel situation of both contenders as well as their predicted starting lineups for this 26th matchday of the league.

The home aura is gone after the 2-3 loss against FC Bayern Munich. Nevertheless, BVB remains the second-strongest home team in the Bundesliga behind the record champion. The record currently stands at 9-2-1, and ideally, nothing should change in the last two values on Saturday.

Injured and therefore unavailable for BVB are only Emre Can and Filippo Mane. However, they also have to do without Ramy Bensebaini due to his fifth yellow card.

This means, as so often this season, that coach Niko Kovac can almost choose from his entire squad. According to kicker, he will do so with the following result:

Gregor Kobel – Niklas Süle, Waldemar Anton, Nico Schlotterbeck – Julian Ryerson, Marcel Sabitzer, Jobe Bellingham, Daniel Svensson – Maximilian Beier, Julian Brandt – Serhou Guirassy

Niklas Süle would therefore make a return to the starting lineup after a longer absence, unless Kovac decides on the young Reggiani. However, the offensive lineup could look significantly different than outlined above.

Süle or Reggiani at BVB?

Recently, FCA lost away to RB Leipzig with 1-2. Before that, however, they had strung together three consecutive victories and have significantly relieved themselves from the greatest pressure in the standings.

The number of absences among the guests is manageable, as they will have to do without the following four players in Dortmund.

According to kicker, FCA will probably go into the match at BVB with this lineup:

Finn Dahmen – Noahkai Banks, Kevin Schlotterbeck, Cedric Zesiger – Robin Fellhauer, Han-Noah Massengo, Kristijan Jakic, Dimitrios Giannoulis – Fabian Rieder, Alexis Claude-Maurice – Rodrigo Ribeiro

After FC Augsburg has freed itself from the bottom of the table under its new coach Manuel Baum, the odds for a victory by the guests are not as high as they might have been back then. Currently, they range between 6.25 and 7.30. The odds for a BVB victory are at 1.43 or slightly below.

In the first round, BVB narrowly won 1-0 at FC Augsburg. In the previous season, however, Borussia Dortmund lost both matches against this opponent, away with 0-1, at home with 1-2.
