Analyst Confidence: 4/5
Borussia Dortmund are strong favourites heading into this Bundesliga fixture at Signal Iduna Park. They remain unbeaten after eight league matches, collecting 18 points and establishing themselves as one of the strongest teams in the division.
Their home form is particularly impressive. Dortmund have won three of their four home league matches, scoring eight goals and conceding only two. They also have the best defensive record in the Bundesliga, with just six goals conceded so far.
Elversberg have made a respectable start to their first Bundesliga season, but their away performances remain a concern. They have won only once in four away league matches and have failed to score in their last three away fixtures.
Dortmund will be without Serhou Guirassy due to a thigh injury, which is a notable attacking absence. However, their home advantage, defensive strength and overall squad quality should still give them enough to secure the victory.

RB Leipzig look well positioned to secure another Bundesliga victory when they welcome Augsburg to the Red Bull Arena. Leipzig have collected 15 points from their first eight league matches and have demonstrated excellent quality, particularly on home soil.
Their home record is especially impressive. They have won all four Bundesliga home matches without conceding a single goal, scoring 18 times in the process. Their attacking quality has been one of the biggest strengths this season, with Antonio Nusa already contributing four goals and six assists in the league.
Augsburg, meanwhile, are going through a difficult period. They have gone six consecutive Bundesliga matches without a victory, collecting just three draws and suffering three defeats. Their defensive problems are also concerning, especially against a Leipzig side that creates plenty of scoring opportunities.
The head-to-head record provides another major advantage for the hosts. Leipzig have won their last seven home matches against Augsburg, scoring at least twice in every one of those victories.
With Leipzig’s outstanding home performances, stronger overall quality and Augsburg’s ongoing struggles, the home win is the clear selection.
