On Sunday afternoon, Augsburg hosts Dortmund at the WWK Arena in a potentially vital game for both teams in the Bundesliga.
The home team are four points clear of the relegation play-off spot, with just two games remaining. They look relatively secure, and this weekend’s games could see Augsburg secure their Bundesliga status for next season.

A run of one win in their last nine matches in the Bundesliga has not helped ease Augsburg’s nerves in the fight for survival. A 3-2 defeat at Bochum last time out in the league ended a run of three straight games that had produced under 2.5 goals.
Augsburg has a decent recent home record in the Bundesliga, as the Bavarians have won five of their last eight home matches in the German top flight.
Their recent home matches in the league have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four Bundesliga games on home soil.
BVB head into this game on the back of a six-game unbeaten run in the German top flight, including four wins and two draws. Edin Terzic’s team have been prolific in recent league games, scoring at least two goals in five of their last six matches in the Bundesliga.
The recent strong form has kept Dortmund in the title race, as the visitors are second-place in the table, a point behind league leaders Bayern Munich.
Dortmund are four games without an away win, although they suffered just one defeat in their last eight league games on their travels in the Bundesliga.
Their recent league games have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four Bundesliga matches on the road.
Forebet predicts that Dortmund will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to keep their Bundesliga title hopes alive this season.
