Borussia Dortmund's dynamic duo of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Marco Reus.

Top contender Borussia Dortmund (6-1-2, 20 points) will try to go on another winning streak to try and catch up with the defending champions and current league leaders Bayern Munich as they face cellar-dwellers FC Augsburg (1-6-2, 5 points) at the Signal Iduna Park for a Bundesliga 2015-2016 encounter on Sunday.

Die Borussen blanked middling club Mainz, 2-0, at the Coface Arena on October 16 to win their first game after three-straight winless tries, as per SkySports.

Striker Marco Reus and winger Henrikh Mkhitaryan provided the goals at the 18th and 82nd minutes for Thomas Tuchel's side to get their team back in winning form.

Der BVB is coming off drawn games versus lowly squads Hoffenheim and Darmstadt before their disappointing 1-5 loss to Bayern in a highly-anticipated match last October 4. They will try to go for a two-game winning run in this game against Augsburg this weekend.

Meanwhile, Die Fuggerstädter lost to Darmstadt, 0-2, at the WWK Arena last Saturday, as reported by ESPN.

Die Lilien's striker Sandro Wagner and center back Peter Niemeyer scored the two goals for Dirk Schuster's team during the first half hour of their match and held the lead until the end.

Markus Weinzierl's men are currently struggling at the bottommost of the league table, as they have only won one game in their last six games of the season.

The prediction is a 5-0 blowout for Borussia Dortmund. Reus, Mkhitaryan, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be unstoppable for Augsburg's defenders.

Borussia Dortmund starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Burki; Ginter, Papastathopoulos, Hummels, Park; Gundogan, Weigl; Mkhitaryan, Kagawa, Reus; Aubameyang

FC Augsburg starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Hitz; Verhaegh, Callsen-Bracker, Klavan, Max; Kohr, Baier; Esswein, Altintop, Werner; Caiuby
