Augsburg: Team News
Schmidt has a number of injuries to contend with this afternoon with no less than five players currently on the treatment table.
Jeffrey Gouweleeuw (Thigh), Iago (Knee), Raphael Framberger (Knee) and Felix Gotze (Hip) will all miss out, whilst Sergio Cordova is not yet considered match fit.
Caiuby is suspended for the fixture.
Dortmund: Team News
Raphael Guerreiro is expected to miss out once again as he continues his recovery from a muscular injury, however, Favre has the rest of his first team squad available.
Summer signings Julian Brandt, Thorgan Hazard and Nico Schulz could all make their league debuts for the Black and Yellows.
Augsburg hope to put cup exit behind them
Last Saturday's 2-1 DFB Pokal defeat to fourth tier Verl was not the start Martin Schmidt would have hoped for with a number of new players making their debuts.
Having only avoided the relegation play-off by four points in May, Schmidt will be hoping new arrivals Tomas Koubek and Marek Suchy will carry his side to a more stable league position.
Dortmund plan title push
Lucien Favre's young Dortmund mounted an impressive title challenge in 2018-19 and were unlucky to miss out on the title by two points to Bayern Munich.
This came after they had lead by nine points earlier in the campaign prior to losing 5-0 at the Allianz Arena.
If the likes of Jadon Sancho and Marco Reus can reach the same heights as last season then there is no reason Dortmund cannot win their first title since 2012.
Opening League Fixture
This is both sides' first league game of the season after the Bundesliga kicked off last night. Both Dortmund and Augsburg were in cup action last week.
Kick-Off Times
The Dortmund vs Augsburg match will be played at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund, Germany. The kick-off is scheduled at 14:30 BST.
