  • time for 0-0?

  • Augsburg is only 1-3-4 when Vargas starts. However, they are 3-2-1 with Fredrik Jensen starting, as he has 5 of their last 6 matches. Dortmund has struggled without Ryerson starting, failing to win a game (0-3-1). Dortmund is only 2-1-3 when Ozcan starts and 3-4-2 when Sabitzer starts. With Nmecha out Dortmund is 3-3-2, compared to 4-1-1 when he starts. Dortmun is 5-3-1 when Can starts, but fall to 2-1-2 when he doesn't.

  • Dortmund is finally woken up and will win this one, probably with a minimum goal margin
