Bundesliga 2025-2026: Augsburg-Borussia Dortmund, the likely lineups

The ninth day of the Bundesliga opens with the advance match between Augsburg and Borussia Dortmund. Kickoff at 8:30 p.m. at the WWK Arena. The hosts seek redemption after the very heavy 0-6 suffered against Leipzig, while the yellow-and-whites want to give continuity to the narrow 1-0 success against Cologne.

Wagner is relying on Komur in attack, with Rieder and Claude-Maurice providing support in the three-quarter. In midfield, Kade and Giannoulis will act as full-backs, while the defense will be headed by Matsima.

Mandatory choices for Kovac in defense, where Sule and Schlotterbeck will be missing: Anselmino and Bensebaini will act on Anton’s flanks. In midfield, Sabitzer will be paired with Nmecha, while in attack Guirassy, with Adeyemi and Brandt behind him.

Augsburg (3-4-2-1): Dahmen; Banks, Matsima, Jakic; Kade, Massengo, Rexhbecaj, Giannoulis; Rieder, Claude-Maurice; Kömür. All. Wagner

Borussia Dortmund (3-4-2-1): Kobel; Anselmino, Anton, Bensebaini; Yan Couto, Sabitzer, F. Nmecha, Svensson; Adeyemi, Brandt; Guirassy. All. Kovac
