Borussia Dortmund to Face FC Augsburg in Bundesliga Clash, Nuri Şahin Returns

Borussia Dortmund and FC Augsburg set to face off in a highly anticipated Bundesliga match

Borussia Dortmund will host FC Augsburg in an exciting Bundesliga match on Saturday, August 19th, 2023. The match will be held at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund, Germany, and is expected to draw a large crowd of fans.

Dortmund, currently 2nd in the Bundesliga standings, will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to five matches. They come into the match off a 3-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen, thanks to goals from Karim Adeyemi, Jude Bellingham, and Donyell Malen.

Augsburg, on the other hand, will be hoping to bounce back from a disappointing 2-0 loss to Union Berlin. They currently sit 14th in the Bundesliga standings and will be eager to improve their position.

Nuri Şahin to make his return for Borussia Dortmund

One of the main talking points ahead of the match is the return of Nuri Şahin to Borussia Dortmund. The 34-year-old midfielder has been out injured since the start of the season but is now fit and available for selection.

Şahin is a key player for Dortmund, and his return will be a major boost to the team. He is a versatile player who can play in a variety of positions and his experience will be invaluable to the team.

FC Augsburg will be no pushovers, however. They have a number of talented players, including Ruben Vargas, Florian Niederlechner, and Daniel Caligiuri. They will be determined to make life difficult for Dortmund and will be hoping to leave Signal Iduna Park with at least a point.
