The two teams that have won the most games from losing positions throughout the course of the season will face each other on Saturday. FC Augsburg have already taken points from six matches in which they have been behind (three wins, three draws), while Borussia Dortmund have done so five times (three wins, two draws).
The scenario
Ninth versus fifth. Both teams are in the top half of the table and have something else in common too: they have both come out on top in only one of their last five (Augsburg) and six (Dortmund) league matches respectively.
