Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Bundesliga match.
Borussia Mönchengladbach’s board will be pleased with their decision to stick with Gerardo Seoane, who was once on the verge of dismissal. Now, a potential victory over Augsburg could propel them into the top four, strengthening their push for a return to European competition.
Borussia Mönchengladbach
Borussia M'gladbach are in excellent form, going unbeaten in their last four Bundesliga matches with three wins—matched only by Freiburg and Bayern Munich over the same period. Last weekend, Borussia took control of their away clash against Union Berlin (2:1), overcoming an early injury to Moritz Nicolas as Lukas Ullrich and Tim Kleindienst struck early goals. The German international forward has been thriving in Mönchengladbach, ranking in the Bundesliga’s top three scorers with 14 goals and five assists.
Augsburg
Augsburg entered February on the back of three consecutive wins but have since struggled, failing to claim a victory in their last four matches, including three Bundesliga draws and a DFB-Pokal elimination from Stuttgart (0:1). They are suffering from fitness issues, with six players sidelined, which has limited their ability to pick up points. Their away record is concerning, having conceded 23 goals in 11 matches—only three teams in the league have a worse defensive record on the road.
Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Augsburg Prediction
Borussia M'gladbach have scored 22 goals in 11 home matches, making them the Bundesliga’s fifth-best attacking side. Against Augsburg, who are less motivated for this fixture, they should secure maximum points.
