Borussia Dortmund vs FC Augsburg: Bundesliga Preview and Team News
By Tushar Bahl
Players to Watch
After going two games without a goal, Erling Haaland finally found his goalscoring touch last Friday against Gladbach. He will be looking to build on that and lead Borussia Dortmund to victory on Saturday. Haaland scored a hat-trick on his BVB debut against Augsburg last January, and he will no doubt be hungry for more goals this weekend.
It will also be interesting to see how Marco Reus responds after being subbed off with his team needing a goal against Gladbach. There have been rumours that the Borussia Dortmund captain could be dropped in favour of Gio Reyna. But if he starts, expect him to be more determined than ever on what will be his 200th Bundesliga appearance for the club.
Florian Niederlechner finally ended his goal drought by scoring a brace in the win over Union Berlin last weekend. He will be a nuisance in and around the box, and could cause a few problems to the Dortmund defenders.
Daniel Caligiuri loves playing against Borussia Dortmund and has six goals and six assists in 19 appearances against them. He got a goal and an assist in the reverse fixture, and will be one to watch for Augsburg on Saturday.
