B. Monchengladbach vs Augsburg Prediction & Betting tips
Borussia Mönchengladbach had a little happy ending in the UEFA Europa League with Turkish defender Basaksehir on Thursday evening with the late equalizer of Patrick Herrmann to make it 1-1. The majority of the supporters traveled at this time but had long lost the desire for sporting events.
The background was a massive clash of Borussia fans with the Turkish police, who made very idiosyncratic decisions in the run-up to the match. From groundless arrests to seizures of various flags to a provoked late arrival at the stadium – many Gladbacher will not remember the away game in Istanbul.
However, to focus again on the daily business, it remains to be stated that the team of Marco Rose continues to have problems implementing the ideas of their new coach. For this reason, it is a bit surprising that before the Bundesliga match between Gladbach and Augsburg, the odds of bookmakers so clearly turn in the direction of the Elf from the Lower Rhine.
Certainly the guests from the Fuggerstadt in the current state do not spread fear and terror. However, in the past, the FCA has often been in a position to challenge its favored teams with heart and passion. The kick-off in Borussia Park takes place on Sunday at early noon at 12:30.
Gladbach:
At Borussia Mönchengladbach these days and weeks alternate successes with setbacks, so to speak. After only one win from the first three Bundesliga games was the hope of the Rhinelanders great that with the 1-0 derby victory in Cologne the proverbial knot has burst.
However, just five days later, coach Marco Rose’s team experienced the biggest possible stroke of the neck at the start of the Europa League group stage at 0: 4 against the Austrian first division side Wolfsberg. After all, the foals returned strengthened and last landed two important threesome at home against Dusseldorf (2: 1) and in Hoffenheim (3: 0).
13 points after six matchdays are a very decent result, which currently ranks fifth in the table of the highest German league. Nevertheless, you can not shake the feeling as if the structure in Mönchengladbach is not so stable.
Smaller Unkonzentriertheiten usually lead to major periods of weakness and also practiced by Rose at RB Salzburg Power football with early Forechecking and much offensive urge could not be implemented in the final finalist in the Borussia players.
Therefore, the Bundesliga side had to settle for Istanbul Basaksehir on Thursday with a 1-1 draw. However, since the equalizer to the final score fell only in stoppage time, the draw in Turkey must be recorded as a point win, although the starting position in the fight for the knockout round after two matchdays continues to take worrying moves.
Strictly speaking, the Rose protégés urgently need a threesome in three weeks at home against the Roma in order to maintain the chances of the sixteenth finals. Beforehand, the foals want to continue their good run in the league routine and retract the fifth victory in the seventh match.
Before the duel Gladbach vs.. Augsburg implies the odds of bookmakers a 64% probability of success in favor of the club with the diamond in the crest. In our opinion, this one-sided distribution of quotations does not take into account two significant factors.
What is meant on the one hand is the by no means superior home statistics and, on the other hand, the double burden that can not be underestimated and which must be overcome. Seasonally, the Gladbacher are in only one home win from the past twelve matches in front of home crowd.
Just in the current season, only one of the four games was won in front of their own fans – with good luck and after a temporary deficit against Fortuna Dusseldorf (2: 1).
In terms of personnel, the native of Leipzig will certainly be making changes in the service of the Lower Rhine countries in comparison to the exhausting Europa League match in Istanbul, which will also be followed by a journey to shorten the regeneration time of the pros.
Hofmann, Johnson, Müsel, Strobl and Traoré are injured anyway. Whether more battered players like Alassane Plea will be added, we will learn only at short notice. Patrick Herrmann is also a candidate for the starting eleven as Bensebaini, who could replace Wendt after his Joker goal.
Also Raffael, Neuhaus and Youngster Doucouré, who is in the Bundesliga squad for two years, but due to injury has never been used, hope for a promotion in the starting lineup.
Augsburg:
The fact that the name Martin Schmidt is currently being mentioned on the question of the first coach dismissal in the Bundesliga is not really surprising. The 52-year-old Swiss has so far failed to stabilize the FC Augsburg sustainable and to establish in the midfield of the table.
If one includes the matches from the preseason, then the Fuggerstädter denied so far 13 duty games under the former Mainzer and Wolfsburg. Only three games were won by the southern Swabians, including the first two.
Thus, the FCA managed from the past eleven competitive games only a single full of success. Less than a point on average (0.92) is also not an argument to bring the wobbly chair in more safety.
For all legitimate criticism of the results of the Red-Green-Whites must be stated that the Augsburg are in the table above the ominous line and have lost “only” two of the recent five encounters. If we also exclude the expected defeats against Dortmund (1: 5) and Leverkusen (0: 3), the Fuggerstädter were in the other three games equal to the respective opponent and lost, if any, with a maximum of one goal difference.
For this reason, we would also be careful on Sunday afternoon, between Gladbach and Augsburg to give a tip on the far too low quotations on a home win. The guests have a lot of individual quality and also want to show a reaction after the 0-3 home defeat against Leverkusen.
Martin Schmidt was able to prepare his protégés for the entire task in Mönchengladbach for a full week, while the foals will focus on regeneration less than 72 hours after the European Cup adventure.
This mental and probably physical advantage we put our Gladbach. Augsburg forecast in favor of the alleged outsider based.
If the Bavarian Swabians manage to get the necessary aggression and passion into play, chances for a surprise coup at Borussia Park are not bad in our eyes.
Experience has shown that international representatives get problems exactly when they do not come into their comfort zone right from the beginning and, consequently, get some fatigue in their heads.
Götze, Gouweleeuw, Gruezo, Suchy and Richter have to pass due to injury. The experiment with Reece Oxford at the Six went to hell in the previous week, so that Martin Schmidt is expected to bring back leading figure Daniel Baier in the starting lineup.
Ruben Vargas is expected to return to the squad as well as Andre Hahn on the other side. In the attack, the relegation candidate with Finnbogason and Niederlechner needs to hide from hardly a Bundesliga side.
