Borussia Dortmund face Augsburg at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday, Aug. 17. Here’s all the info you need to watch online.

The Bundesliga kicks off over the weekend, with Borussia Dortmund hosting Augsburg in their first game of the season. Dortmund finished second last season, a mere two points behind Bayern Munich. Augsburg finished four points above the relegation zone.

Dortmund had a very busy summer as they look to win their first Bundesliga title since the 2011-12 season. Lucien Favre’s team made six signings and let 11 players leave the club. However, the majority of the 11 players who left, played either minor roles or were loaned out last season. The only exceptions were Christian Pulisic and Abdou Diallo. Dortmund replaced Pulisic by signing Julian Brandt and Thorgan Hazard. Both players are more accomplished in the Bundesliga than Pulisic and might even be an upgrade. Diallo was sold to Paris Saint-Germain after Dortmund brought back former captain Mats Hummels from Bayern. While Hummels is in the declining stage of his career, he should be better at organizing Dortmund’s defense, which was their Achilles heel last season. Upfront, Dortmund will rely on the trio of Jadon Sancho, Paco Alcacer and Marco Reus. Sancho led the Bundesliga in assists last season, while Alcacer scored 18 goals in his first Bundesliga season. Reus scored 17 goals and added 11 assists last season and Dortmund struggled whenever their captain was unable to play.

Much like Dortmund, Augsburg had a busy summer. The club sent 15 players out while bringing 17. However, Augsburg spent only €28.5 million, €99 million less than Dortmund did. Keeper Tomas Koubek was the most expensive signing for the Fuggerstadter. Koubek will likely be extremely busy against Dortmund, as Augsburg will struggle to maintain possession and prevent Dortmund from creating chances. German international Philipp Max will have the difficult task of marking Sancho and preventing the English star from creating chances. The Fuggerstadter will rely on Alfred Finnbogason and Michael Gregoritsch to capitalize on any chances. Over the past two seasons, Finnbogason and Gregoritsch have combined for 41 goals, despite Finnbogason missing significant time with injuries.
