Augsburg v Borussia Monchengladbach

Augsburg vs Borussia Monchengladbach Preview

Augsburg slipped to a second defeat on the trot in the German top flight last weekend when they were handed a heavy 4-0 thrashing away from home at the hands of RB Leipzig, while Borussia M'gladbach bounced back from two previous defeats on the trot in the Bundesliga with a 1-0 home win against Union Berlin.

Augsburg have slumped to two defeats on the trot in the domestic top flight in recent times as the hosts have suffered losses at the hands of Mainz 3-2 at home along with the aforementioned 4-0 loss on the road at RB Leipzig, while picking up just the solitary win from their opening five games of this new term as well.

The hosts' singular success came in the shape of a 3-1 home win against St Pauli but an earlier 4-0 loss on the road at Heidenheim has contributed to Augsburg's worrying 15th place position in the Bundesliga table where the hosts hold a slender one point cushion above the relegation play-off spot.

The bigger picture shows Augsburg have managed to capture just one win from their last 10 league matches overall whilst also being handed no fewer than eight defeats within this period as well, which does not bode well for Jess Thorup's side.

Borussia M'gladbach have not produced the best of starts in the German Bundesliga so far this season either but the visitors have at least collected two wins from their opening five games of this new campaign which have come in the form of important wins against the likes of Bochum and Union Berlin respectively.

Losses against Bayer Leverkusen, Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt have outweighed Borussia M'gladbach's successes so far this term but this upcoming trip to the WWK Arena to take on a wobbling Augsburg outfit looks to be the perfect opportunity for the visitors to even the score in terms of wins and losses.

It's true that Borussia M'gladbach have registered just two wins from their previous 11 games overall in the German top flight but results away from home have been fairly encouraging as Gerardo Seoane's side have lost just three of their last eight outings on the road and includes picking up wins on their travels at Wolfsburg and Bochum.

Having also scored in seven out of their last 10 games on the road as well, Borussia M'gladbach look well placed to add to their points tally here on Friday night.
