Augsburg vs B. Monchengladbach Prediction & Betting Tips (4 October)

Far too often concerned with maintaining in recent years, Augsburg gave itself a little breathing room last year by obtaining a very honorable 11th place, far from the teams struggling not to fall into the red zone. It's already more complicated this year for the Bavarians who are only in 15th position with 4 points taken in 5 days. The residents of the WWK Arena were able to achieve their only success at the start of the season, beating the promoted side of Sankt Pauli 3-1. But this victory was short-lived for Augsburg, which then lost against Mainz 2-3 and against RB Leipzig 4-0 last week. Borussia Mönchengladbach, for its part, is no longer really subscribed to the top of the table neither has he for several years.

Proof of this is that this team was only maintained for a small point last year and is expected to be at a much better level this year. Unfortunately for them, the Poulains are struggling to convince at the moment with a rather average record of 2 wins and 3 defeats after 5 days. Victorious in Bochum 0-2, Gladbach was then dominated by Stuttfart 1-3 and Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 but it got its head back on track last week by winning on the wire, at the end added time, against Union Berlin 1-0.

Among the locals, the Japanese Okugawa (back from loan), the replacement goalkeeper Klein and the defender Gunmy will miss this game, all injured at the moment. On the other hand, former Ligue 2 resident Samuel Essende (ex Caen and Pau), who has already scored 2 goals at the start of the season, should make his return after being suspended for the trip to Leipzig last Saturday. We also find in this team the former Brestois Steve Mounié and the ex-Monegasque Matsima who must be content to come into play while the former Niçois and Lensois Claude-Maurice has not played a single minute for the moment. On the Gladbach side, the formidable attacker tricolor Franck Honorat (1 goal, 1 assist) is still not recovered.

The titular goalkeeper Omlin, his replacement Olschowsky, Luxembourg striker Borges Sanches and midfielder Walde will also throw in the towel for this trip to Bavaria. On the other hand, the former Niçois Pléa (1 goal) is available in the same way as summer recruit Kleindienst (2 goals, 1 assist). Against Union Berlin, it was the young Czech Cvancara who was able to score the only goal of the match in the final moments of the game.
