Tactical Insights & Match Dynamics

Dortmund’s 4-2-3-1 (1.67 goals per game) relies on Guirassy’s finishing and Brandt’s vision, targeting Augsburg’s resolute defense (1.25 goals conceded per game), though injuries to Soumaïla Coulibaly and Felix Nmecha, and Filip Mané’s doubtful status (knock), may see Jamie Gittens step up, per@LafonateBVB’s caution. Augsburg’s 3-4-2-1 (1.17 goals per game) hinges on Mounié’s hold-up play and Giannoulis’s creativity, aiming to counter (avg. 46% possession away), with no major absences reported, per SportsGambler.com. Signal Iduna’s 81,000 fans will push Dortmund, but Augsburg’s defensive wall could make it tight, per Kovač’s comments on@BVB
