The new season has begun with positive signals for Augsburg. Sandro Wagner's side have not only won their first two games, but have also made defending champions Bayern Munich sweat to get three points.
However, that beautiful series of days was quickly replaced by disappointment. In the last 7 matches, Augsburg have lost up to five times, completely losing the confidence they have built since the beginning of the season.
The last 2 matches have left even greater pain. They suffered a 0-6 defeat at home to RB Leipzig, then continued to be eliminated from DFB Pokal after a 0-1 defeat to second-tier Bochum.
Since the end of August, Augsburg have only had one win, dropping to 15th place in the rankings and only 3 points above the relegation zone.
While Augsburg are struggling to regain their form, Dortmund is in a familiar position - in the top 4, but is still far behind arch-rival Bayern Munich.
Niko Kovac's team missed the opportunity to narrow the gap when they lost 1-2 at Der Klassiker, in a match expected to create a turning point for the championship race. The defeat at the Allianz Arena has left Die Borussen currently 7 points behind Bayern, while the Bavarian team still maintains a destructive form with 8 wins in the Bundesliga.
As hopes of overcoming Bayern are increasingly fragile, Dortmund are forced to focus on the immediate future. That was against Augsburg, a team they have failed to beat in their last two meetings.
