The matchday 26 Bundesliga clash between Borussia Dortmund and FC Augsburg will take place on 14 March at the Signal Iduna Park. Borussia Dortmund vs FC Augsburg: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Borussia Dortmund
The win over Koln in last matchday’s fixture (2:1) was already Borussia Dortmund’s 16th victory of the current season (7 draws, 2 defeats). At the same time, the team have lost on both occasions to Bayern Munich, which is essentially why Borussia Dortmund have fallen out of the title race. The gap to the Munich leaders stands at 11 points. In addition, the club’s defence, which at first glance looks fairly reliable, has started to falter again: Niko Kovac’s men have conceded in six of their last eight league matches. What is more, in one of those games the team allowed Heidenheim — one of the weakest attacks in the league — to score twice.
The club’s scoring run in the league now stands at 33 matches.
Both teams to score has landed in six of Dortmund’s last eight Bundesliga matches.
From 12 home games in the 2025/26 season, the team have recorded seven wins (2 draws, 1 defeat).
Potential Borussia Dortmund Lineup (3-5-2)*
Gregor Kobel – Luca Reggiani, Waldemar Anton, Ramy Bensebaini – Jobe Bellingham, Felix Nmecha, Marcel Sabitzer, Daniel Svensson, Julian Ryerson – Maximilian Beier, Serhou Guirassy.
Defenders Filippo Mane and Niklas Sule are injured.
FC Augsburg
Prior to last matchday’s defeat to Leipzig (1:2), FC Augsburg had been on a three-match winning run. What is more, in that most recent game the side could quite realistically have taken at least a point, but conceded two goals in the final 15 minutes. Moreover, that match once again confirmed the club’s defensive issues: FC Augsburg have conceded in every away league match this season. Despite that setback, the club’s recent performances look quite solid: Manuel Baum’s men have avoided defeat in seven of their previous nine games (5 wins and 2 draws). At present, the club sit ninth in the league and, on the whole, can be satisfied with that result, given that the team have not finished higher than 11th over the past 10 years.
- From 12 away matches in the 2025/26 season, the team have recorded three wins (1 draw, 8 defeats).
No more than three goals have been scored in six of the club’s last seven league matches.
FC Augsburg have now conceded in 16 straight away Bundesliga matches.
Potential FC Augsburg Lineup (3-4-2-1)*
Finn Dahmen – Noakai Banks, Kevin Schlotterbeck, Cedric Zesiger – Robin Fellhauer, Han-Noah Massengo, Kristijan Jakic, Fabian Rieder – Mert Komur, Alexis Claude-Maurice – Rodrigo Ribeiro
Defenders Chrislain Matsima, Jeffrey Gouweleeu, Chrislain Matsima, Chrislain Matsima and midfielders Kristijan Jakic, Robin Fellhauer, Yannik Keitel will be unavailable due to injuries.

Borussia Dortmund vs FC Augsburg: Match Prediction
Despite the clear defensive issues that have been showing up for Borussia Dortmund of late, the home team remain one of the few sides in the Bundesliga who have managed to score in every match this season. What is more, the last time Niko Kovac’s men failed to find the net was back in matchday 26 of the 2024/25 season, in an away game against Leipzig. It is also worth noting that the hosts have not lost at the Signal Iduna Park for a long time. Their last defeat there came in matchday 25 of last season — in a game against FC Augsburg, when the home side went down 0:1.
In the upcoming match, a repeat of that scenario looks unlikely, given FC Augsburg’s obvious problems at the back. The club have now conceded in 16 consecutive away Bundesliga matches, and the last time they managed to keep a clean sheet was in that very game in Dortmund. In addition, Borussia Dortmund have scored at least two goals in their last eight home matches, which underlines their consistent attacking output on home soil.
Prediction: Borussia Dortmund, over 1.5 goals
