Both teams are having a difficult season and sit in the lower half of the standings. However, while Borussia Mönchengladbach recently put together a five-match unbeaten run, Augsburg have almost slipped into the relegation play-off zone and have won away from home only once.
Borussia Mönchengladbach
Borussia Mönchengladbach slowed down after four wins and a draw. They lost two matches in a row, against Wolfsburg (1:3) and Borussia Dortmund (0:2). The main problem for the club is their weak defence, especially at home. In eight Bundesliga home matches, they have won only once and have conceded 15 of their 24 goals there. In five of those games the total went over 2.5 goals.
Augsburg
Augsburg have lost five of their last eight matches in the Bundesliga. They look particularly poor away from home, with only one win in seven away fixtures and at least one goal conceded in every one of them. At the same time the visitors also tend to play high-scoring matches: in five of those seven games the total went over 2.5 goals. Even in the last four head-to-head meetings with Borussia Mönchengladbach there were plenty of goals and the total exceeded 2.5 goals each time.
Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Augsburg Prediction
Both teams are very poor defensively, so we should see goals from both sides and the total is very likely to go over 2.5 goals.
