FC Augsburg

- Manuel Baum took over as Augsburg’s head coach in December 2025 and has given the side a shot of energy by encouraging a high-tempo, transition-focused game.
- FC Augsburg are typical ‘high-press’ opponents, who like to get men behind the ball and try to force turnovers that they will counter-attack with as much directness as possible.
- Augsburg’s away form has been poor this term, so they will need to be at the top of their game to earn anything from this fixture.
- The Bavarians are ninth in the Bundesliga standings, having earned 31 points from 25 games, while Dortmund are in a familiar second spot with 55 points.
Head-to-Head
