"We haven't achieved anything yet. We have 55 points, which is two points fewer than at the end of last season. There are still 27 points up for grabs. To achieve our goals, i.e. to qualify for the Champions League, we still need to pick up a few more points."
"It's a team that has stabilised, concedes very little, scores very few goals, is very compact and plays very intense and aggressive football. They are a team that will certainly challenge us."
Borussia Dortmund sit second in the Bundesliga, 11 points behind Bayern Munich, with no realistic chance of winning the title or domestic trophies after their Champions League and DFB-Pokal eliminations. With 55 points from 25 games, Dortmund have their best points tally at this stage in seven years. Manager Niko Kovac emphasizes the team has not achieved their primary goal of Champions League qualification yet, with 27 points remaining available. A victory against Augsburg would surpass their entire 2024-25 season points total. Augsburg present a formidable challenge, having won five of their last seven league matches, including a victory over Bayern Munich.
