Borussia Dortmund will make the trip to the WWK ARENA to lock horns against FC Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon.
Dortmund will come into Saturday's clash on the back of a 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain. Head coach Edin Terzic will hope that his side can build on their impressive midweek display as they look to get their Bundesliga campaign back on track after a four-game winless streak this weekend, as well as boost their standing in the process.
FC Augsburg have enjoyed a turnaround in fortunes since replacing head coach Enrico Maaßen with Jess Thorup, having won three and drawn three of their past seven games under the Danish manager. However, their impressive six-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga was brought to an abrupt end last weekend as they suffered a 2-0 defeat on the road to Werder Bremen.
