Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Full Time Result – Monchengladbach to Win – 1.80
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Team Goals – Monchengladbach to Score Over 1.5 Goals – 1.72
Monchengladbach to Win
The hosts have been in anything but strong form, so the visitors probably won’t be too scared here, though that lack of fear may just go against Markus Weinzierl’s men, who really have been poor away from home this season. Moreover, for all Gladbach haven’t been at it of late, they remain a side that carries a relatively heavy attacking threat on their day, while their achievements at home easily outweigh anything achieved by Augsburg on the road. At home, Hutter’s troops pick up an average of 1.4 points, which is impressive next to the 0.64 collected (on average) by Augsburg on the road. They’ve also scored an average of 0.97 more goals per 90 minutes at home than the visitors have on the road.
Monchengladbach to Score Over 1.5 Goals
The last time Gladbach had a gilt-edged opportunity to hit their stride offensively, they slotted four against Furth at this venue, and they now have another excellent opportunity to get back amongst the goals. An average of 1.6 goals scored per 90 minutes at home is promising, especially ahead of a game against opposition that has shipped an average of 1.72 on the road, conceding eight in their last two.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Monchengladbach vs Augsburg
After two poor results, Gladbach picked up an important point last time out. OK, they would’ve wanted more, but with the way things have gone for Adi Hutter’s men of late, a share of the spoils was far from the worst result. It is now only one win in nine league matches for Saturday’s hosts, though, and they really do need to pick up the pace if they’re to stand any chance of challenging for a place in the coveted top six.
If there’s one clear issue for the hosts right now, then it’s defensive insolidity. Gladbach’s last clean sheet came back in November, they’ve since taken to the pitch in the league on nine occasions. Such a record is unlikely to strike fear into the hearts of the visitors, who despite some poor form of their own recently, may not be too fearful ahead of Saturday’s trip to Borussia Park.
While Gladbach’s winless run stretched to three last time out, the Augsburg boys got themselves back on the winning path, beating Union Berlin in front of a home crowd. A victory that came complete with a clean sheet should have done wonders for the spirits of Saturday’s travellers, who were in need of a lift after five without a win.
Unfortunately, Markus Weinzierl’s men have lost each of their last two on the road, while they’ve not exactly sparkled away from the comforts of WWK Arena this season. In terms of points collected, only two Bundesliga teams have been worse than Augsburg on the road, while only one team has scored fewer goals.
Safe bet
If opting for something ‘safe’ is your sort of thing, then ‘Over 2.5 Goals’ should do the job. Gladbach have both scored and conceded in eight of their last nine in all competitions, while three or more goals have been scored in seven of those nine, as well as in eight of their last ten in the league.
Monchengladbach vs Augsburg Team News
Key player Lars Stindl is out for the hosts, which is a blow, though they have no other personnel concerns at present. Tobias Strobl will miss out for Augsburg.

Highlighted Player
Jonas Hoffman
A key man in the final third, Jonas Hoffman has been worth his weight in gold for Saturday’s hosts this season. The attack-minded midfielder has scored seven league goals so far, while he provided a timely assist for Gladbach’s equaliser on his return from injury last time out. Now back at full fitness, the 29-year-old, who averages 0.65 expected goals and assists per 90 minutes, can make all the difference.
