Bundesliga 2024-2025: Borussia Dortmund-Augsburg, the likely lineups

Borussia Dortmund-Augsburg, the probable formations

After two consecutive successes in the league, Borussia Dortmund is aiming for a hat-trick against Augsburg in front of the friendly crowd at Signal Iduna Park: for the team coached by Niko Kovac è the last train for the Europe that counts, since the fourth place, useful for qualifying for the Champions League, is seven points away with ten games to go in the Bundesliga.

The Croatian coach will not be able to count on Svensson, who injured his knee, and Chukwuemeka, who has already missed the Champions League round of 16 against Lille: in the starting 4-2-3-1 there will be Guirassy in attack, supported by Adeyemi, Brandt and Gittens. For Emre Can still a deployment in the center of defense, a role in which he è now fully adapted.

On the other side, Jess Thorup wants to keep hoping for at least sixth place, which would be worth qualifying for the Conference League. The injury list è long (Berisha, Gumny, Kabadayi, Koudossou, Oxford and Pedersen), but the mood è good as eight straight useful results have come in the league. Watch out for Alexis Claude-Maurice, who scored a hat trick in the Red and White’s previous trip, against Borussia Monchengladbach.

Borussia Dortmund (4-2-3-1): Kobel; Ryerson, Can, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini; Sabitzer, Gross; Adeyemi, Brandt, Gittens; Guirassy. All. Kovac.

Augsburg (3-4-2-1):Dahmen; Matsima, Gouweleeuw, Zesiger; Wolf, Onyeka, Maier, Giannoulis; Jensen, Claude-Maurice; Tietz. All. Thorup.
