Dortmund vs Augsburg Prediction 14 March 2026
🔊 Can Augsburg pose a challenge to Borussia at Signal Iduna Park? Last season, the "Fuggers" managed to take all three points from Dortmund. However, this year, Nico Kovac's side has only lost to one team in the Bundesliga, making the hosts the clear favorites for this encounter. That said, the Bavarian club has significantly improved their standing in the table and, without facing serious pressure in the league, they might just unsettle Borussia.
Head-to-Head
📊 Serhou Guirassy scored the only goal in the match that took place in the first round.

Augsburg Team Overview
🔴 Last weekend, Augsburg took an early lead against Leipzig (1-2), only to concede two unfortunate goals in the second half, including an own goal by Artur Chaves in stoppage time. Before the "Fuggers" opened the scoring, Kevin Schlotterbeck missed a penalty. Their three-match winning streak came to an end, but Manuel Baum's side still holds a seven-point advantage over the bottom three. Recently, the Bavarians have been in impressive form, winning five of their last seven matches and collecting 15 points. Only Bayern and Borussia have better records over the same period. A victory in Dortmund could allow Augsburg to level on points with eighth-placed Freiburg, if they lose their home game against Union.

Latest news
Borussia Dortmund
🎙️ Niko Kovač at the pre-match press conference: "This is our goal, this is what we are striving for. These two wins [including the match next week against Hamburg] will undoubtedly be a significant step towards achieving our aim. We haven't achieved anything yet. We have 55 points, which is two less than at the end of last season. We still need to gather 27 more points. To reach our goals, namely qualifying for the Champions League, we need to secure a few more points."
❌ Carney Chukwuemeka (muscle issues) recently completed two training sessions with the team. Nico Schlotterbeck returned to team training on Thursday after individual sessions, while Julian Brandt was absent due to illness. Ramy Bensebaini received his fifth yellow card of the season in the match against Cologne, so he will have to watch the game against Augsburg from the stands. Emre Can (torn cruciate ligament) and Filippo Mane, who is undergoing rehabilitation, will also be unavailable for the match.
Augsburg
🎙️ Manuel Baum ahead of the Dortmund clash: "We demonstrated against Leipzig that we can compete well even against the top teams in the league - it's a pity we didn't get the result. We're heading to Dortmund aiming to bring home some points."
❌ Captain Jeffrey Gouweleeuw has returned to team training and is handling most of the workload, but it's not enough for a spot in the lineup yet. Additionally, Chrislain Matsima, Yannick Keitel, and Uche Ogundu are sidelined. Noah Katterbach remains doubtful due to ongoing leg issues.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
Bastian Dankert has been appointed as the referee for the match in Dortmund. His average number of cautions over the last ten games is 2.8 yellow cards. Borussia averages 1.8 yellow cards per match this season, while Augsburg, the most aggressive team in the league, averages 2.7. Considering this, betting on over 3.5 yellow cards seems reasonable, a trend that has occurred in the last three head-to-head encounters.
⚽ Goals Prediction
Augsburg have found the net in eight of their last nine Bundesliga fixtures. Borussia are also expected to score, so a bet on both teams to score (yes) appears promising, having been successful in eight of the last nine Bundesliga meetings in Dortmund.
🚩 Corner Kicks Prediction
Dortmund are likely to dominate possession, making it logical to expect more corners from the home side. Season stats back this up, with Kovac's players averaging over five corners per match (5.2). Augsburg, however, are not far behind with an average of 4.8. Therefore, an individual total of over 2.5 corners for Augsburg is a reasonable prediction, having occurred in nine consecutive head-to-head league matches.
Editor's Prediction
Borussia are clear favorites here. Despite Augsburg's solid performances, their recent match in Leipzig highlighted their struggles on the road against top-tier teams. Dortmund maintain their high standards, even after missing out on a trophy, consistently aiming for three points in every game. Thus, we're backing a Borussia win, considering all their attacking players are fit, while Augsburg might be missing several defenders for this clash. A likely scoreline is 2-0.
