FC Augsburg vs Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Fuggerstädter will look to bounce back against the Prussians.

FC Augsburg will welcome Borussia Monchengladbach to WWK ARENA as both teams lock horns against each other on Friday night. Currently, FC Augsburg are placed in 15th position on the Bundesliga table with only four points in five games so far. They have lost three matches in the league till now and are not able to perform as per expectations.

Their only win in the league came against newly promoted St.Pauli but after that, all went downhill for them. This upcoming fixture will be important for them to get their confidence back and get back up in the points table.

On the other hand, Borussia Monchengladbach will be satisfied with how they started their new season but still, some work needs to be done in the team. They have six points in five matches in which they lost three matches. Even though points there is not a big difference between the teams, but quality-wise the away team are a much better side. They will be looking to get all three points when they travel to Augsburg.

Players to Watch

Frank Onyeka (FC Augsburg)

He plays as a central midfielder and can also function as a defensive midfielder, depending on the tactics. The Nigerian has a lanky stature. He is physical and has good upper body strength which he uses in duels.

Onyeka loves to make tackles often. He had long legs which are useful in making well-time interceptions of the opposition’s forward passes. He has everything in terms of physicality, stamina, strength and pace. He is a key player for Augsburg.

Julian Weigl (Borussia Monchengaldbach)

Weigl has all the qualities which an all-rounder central midfielder needs. He has great technique, the ability to play long-range as well as short passes, defensive skills and vision as well as positional awareness. The German can easily find spaces to exploit and is able to break the lines with his accurate passing.

He always looks for an option for a forward pass, but he has the patience to wait until he has a clear and free passing lane.

Match Prediction for FC Augsburg vs Borussia Monchengladbach

Borussia Monchengladbach despite missing some key players due to injuries are playing quite well in the Bundesliga and will surely be a big task for Augsburg to stop them. The home team are not in good form and have a lot of issues in the defence. Despite being the home team Augsburg should find it difficult to beat Monchengladbach and most probably the away team will win this fixture.
