On Saturday afternoon, Augsburg will be looking for their first win of the Bundesliga campaign, as they welcome Monchengladbach to the WWK Arena.
Augsburg have kicked off their campaign by picking up just two points from their opening four matches in the German top-flight.
Markus Weinzierl’s team has picked up draws at Eintracht Frankfurt and Union Berlin. However, they have also suffered home losses against Hoffenheim and Bayer Leverkusen, losing 4-0 and 4-1 respectively.
The home sides poor form in the league hasn’t only started this season though, it dates back to the last campaign, as they have won just once in their previous 11 outings in the German top-flight.
Augsburg will need to improve their home record if they are going to escape the relegation zone, as they have won just one of their last five home games in the Bundesliga while losing three of their previous four home games in the German top-flight.
Monchengladbach bounced back from failing to win any of their opening three league matches by recording a 3-1 home win over Arminia Bielefeld last time out. The win ended a mini two-game losing streak for the Foals in the Bundesliga.
The victory was much-needed for Adi Hutter’s team, as it was only their second win in seven games in the German top-flight. Everybody connected with the club will be hoping that it kick-starts their team’s campaign.
Nobody can accuse Monchengladbach of lacking entertainment when it comes to goals in recent times, as 13 of the Foals last 14 Bundesliga matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
Gladbach’s recent form on their travels has also been poor, as they have lost four of their last five away games in the Bundesliga.
Forebet predicts that Monchengladbach will improve their recent away record by recording a win in a high-scoring encounter.
