• Fixture: FC Augsburg vs Borussia Dortmund

• Date: Friday, 31 October 2025

• Venue: WWK Arena

FC Augsburg's recent form suggests a team struggling for consistency, with heavy defeats at home and a mixed bag of results away. Their attacking play has shown moments of promise, particularly in their win against VfL Wolfsburg, but defensive frailties could be exploited by Dortmund's potent attack. Augsburg will need to be disciplined and capitalise on any Dortmund complacency to secure a result.

Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, have been more solid, with a strong run of results including wins against Köln, Mainz, and Wolfsburg. Their loss to Bayern München was a setback, but their ability to bounce back with a draw against Leipzig shows resilience. Dortmund's attacking trio of Adeyemi, Chukwuemeka, and Guirassy could prove too much for Augsburg's defence, especially if they maintain their recent form.

FC Augsburg's recent performances have been erratic, with a heavy home loss to RB Leipzig and a more encouraging win against VfL Wolfsburg. Their defence has been particularly vulnerable, conceding six goals in their last home game, which could be a concern against a strong Dortmund side. Augsburg's ability to score in most of their recent matches suggests they can pose a threat, but their defensive inconsistencies may hinder their chances of a positive result.

Their only loss came against Bayern München, but they bounced back with a win against Köln, demonstrating their ability to compete at a high level. Dortmund's attacking prowess, combined with a generally solid defence, positions them well to exploit Augsburg's defensive weaknesses and secure a win.

• Fabian Rieder vs Ramy Bensebaini: This matchup pits Augsburg's dynamic attacker against Dortmund's experienced defender, with Rieder looking to exploit any gaps in Bensebaini's defence.
