Augsburg lost several key players during the summer transfer window, and the club’s financial situation doesn’t allow for equally strong replacements. It’s no surprise, then, that under these conditions, the “Fuggers” are fighting for survival in the Bundesliga. Most likely, this battle will continue throughout the season.
After 7 rounds, Augsburg has only 7 points and sits just above the relegation zone in 15th place. They’re three points ahead of St. Pauli, currently in 16th. In the previous round, Jess Thorup’s team lost 3-1 to Freiburg, though they managed a 2-1 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach before that. Across their last five games, Augsburg has collected 6 points.
Dortmund is experiencing another unpredictable season. Nuri Sahin’s side is currently seventh in the Bundesliga with 13 points. While the gap to leaders Bayern is only four points, some recent results have left fans feeling uncertain.
In the last round, Borussia Dortmund narrowly beat St. Pauli 2-1 at home, following an away loss to Union (1-2), a win over Bochum (4-2), and a heavy 1-5 defeat away to Stuttgart.
In the Champions League, Dortmund won their opening games against Club Brugge (3-0) and Celtic in a stunning 7-1 victory. On Tuesday, however, they played at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid, leading 2-0 at halftime only to ultimately lose 2-5, which may have affected their morale.
