Augsburg v Borussia Dortmund Betting Tips [21 May 2023]

Borussia Dortmund have a golden opportunity to go top of the Bundesliga when they travel to struggling Augsburg. Going into this game, Dortmund are second, one point behind Bayern while Augsburg are three points above the drop zone. Hosts Augsburg need just a point from their remaining two matches to secure their place in the Bundesliga. All the teams below them dropped points over the weekend, throwing Augsburg a huge favor. One win only in nine league matches, however, isn’t the run Augsburg would have wished for going into this game. That was a 1-0 victory over Union Berlin which also happens to be their only clean sheet in 10 league games. One strength at Augsburg that can’t be ignored is their scoring prowess; they have scored in each of their last 10 league matches. A combination of weak defending and a good attack means both teams have scored in seven of Augsburg’s last 10 games.

Borussia Dortmund must have followed with keen interest the game pitting Bayern Munich against Leipzig. Bayern’s loss in that game is Dortmund’s gain, as with a win here, they will seize the advantage in the title race. This is the best chance for Dortmund to put a halt to Bayern Munich’s dominance. They’ve bottled this chance once recently and they will be expected to do better here. Dortmund are unbeaten in six matches, with four wins, and they’ve been scoring a lot of goals. In their last five matches, they’ve scored two or more in four. Dortmund will however hope for a better defensive performance, coming into this game with just two clean sheets in the last 10 league matches. Both teams have scored in eight of their last 10 matches and they will hope to improve away from home as well. The visitors have no win in four straight away matches, drawing three.

Borussia Dortmund have done well coming into this game. While all the focus will be on Dortmund toppling Bayern, the two teams’ scoring runs will be key. Both haven't kept a lot of clean sheets either. We are backing both teams to score in the Augsburg v Borussia Dortmund game.
