Borussia D. visits Augsburg: Will the away team secure a victory?
In an unexpected turn of events, FC Augsburg claimed a 1-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in their latest Bundesliga match on August 3, 2025, at Signal Iduna Park.
The victory, which came as a surprise to many, defied the odds set by bookmakers who favoured Dortmund heavily before the game. With a 65.36% chance of a Dortmund win, a 20.41% chance of a draw, and only an 11.76% chance of Augsburg winning, the bookmakers had little doubt that Dortmund would emerge victorious.
Despite this, Augsburg displayed a strong performance, securing the win and proving that they are more than capable of competing against the favourites. The best pre-match odds for Dortmund to win were 1.53, for a draw 4.90, and for Augsburg to win 8.50 from different bookmakers.
This victory comes at a crucial time for Augsburg, who are currently in the lower part of the tournament table. However, they are safe from the risk of being in the relegation zone at the end of the Bundesliga.
Looking ahead, Borussia Dortmund continue to confidently defeat their opponents, but they are waiting for a slip-up from Bayern to return to the top of the tournament table. Meanwhile, Augsburg will play as clear underdogs in their remaining games and will have to show their best football to get a positive result.
In order to compete for the gold medals, Borussia Dortmund should take maximum points in the remaining games. On the other hand, Augsburg will be hoping to build on their recent success and secure more victories in the upcoming matches.
It's worth noting that this wasn't the first time Augsburg have shown they can compete with the favourites. In Matchday 25 of the 2024-25 season, they lost a close 3-2 home game against Dortmund. However, in their most recent encounter, they managed to turn the tables and secure a surprising win.
Despite the loss, Borussia Dortmund will be looking to bounce back in their next match. For Augsburg, they will be hoping to carry the momentum from their recent victory into their final home game of the current season.
