Live ticker FC Augsburg – Borussia Dortmund (Bundesliga 2023/2024, 15th matchday)

Borussia Dortmund have only won two of the last five BL games in Augsburg (L2 D1) – on matchday 33 of the previous season (3-0) and on matchday 18 of the 2019/20 season (5-3). From the first seven BL matches at FCA, Borussia picked up five wins and remained undefeated (2U).

FC Augsburg did not concede more goals against any team in the Bundesliga than against Borussia Dortmund (61, as against FC Bayern). BVB does not have such a high goals average against any other current Bundesliga team in the upper house as against FCA (2.54).

Borussia Dortmund have only won one of their last six Bundesliga games (4-2 against Gladbach, 2D 3L) – BVB had previously celebrated five wins in a row. BVB has been winless away from home in three BL games (D2 L1). The last time Dortmund stayed without success away from home was in the final phase of the preseason (even 4 games).

FC Augsburg got 12 of their 17 points in the current Bundesliga in their home WWK Arena. FCA only got more points from the first seven BL home games twice – in the 2013/14 season (13) and in the 2014/15 season (15).

With 25 points after 14 games, Borussia Dortmund has the same number of points as at the same point in the previous season. BVB have already conceded 23 goals – the last time they conceded that many goals after 14 BL games was in 2007/08 under Thomas Doll (even 24).

FC Augsburg suffered their first defeat last matchday at SV Werder Bremen in their seventh Bundesliga game under Jess Thorup (W3 D3). The last defeat was a 1-2 at home against SV Darmstadt at the beginning of October, which is also Augsburg’s only home defeat in the current Bundesliga season.

Due to the 0-2 defeat against Werder Bremen on the last matchday, FC Augsburg remained without a clean sheet in the 17th Bundesliga game in a row – that is the club’s current negative record. No other current BL team is currently waiting so long for a clean slate.

Borussia Dortmund have already conceded five goals from penalties in the current BL season and conceded 22% of the goals conceded from the spot – both league highs. FC Augsburg, on the other hand, have already scored three times from the penalty spot in the current BL season – only Hoffenheim have scored more times in the league (4).

Dortmund’s Niclas Füllkrug was involved in at least one goal against RB Leipzig in the fourth Bundesliga appearance in a row (3D 2V), setting his best series in the top flight to date – only from August 2019 to June 2020 did he also play four BL games in a row with a goal participation (for Werder Bremen).

Dortmund’s Mats Hummels received his third red card in the Bundesliga last matchday. In the 2019/20 season, Hummels was sent off on matchday 13 against Hertha, and BVB won the following game against Fortuna Düsseldorf 5-0. In the 2013/14 season, Hummels saw red on matchday 8, and BVB won 1-0 against Hannover 96 on matchday 9.
