    2 : 0
    Augsburg

    In the dizzy heights of 11th, Augsburg remain unbeaten in their last eight with four clean sheets in a row to distance themselves from relegation trouble.

    After starting with back-to-back defeats, former Bayern boss Niko Kovac has led this Dortmund side to two straight league wins for the first time this season.

    Just three points separate the two sides. Augsburg have all week to focus on this game, while Dortmund will have to recover from their Champions League first leg against Lille.

    FCA edged the reverse fixture 2-1 but Dortmund can gain revenge for their third straight league win as they hunt down a European qualification spot.
