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.
