Augsburg vs B. Monchengladbach prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-10-03 18:30.
[p]It’s proven to be a tough start to this season’s Bundesliga for Augsburg who were soundly defeated 4-0 by Leipzig last time out, the third game in which they trailed 2-0 in the first half this Bundesliga season and the fourth game in which they conceded the opener in the first 15 minutes (D1, L3). They begin this matchday sat 15th in the table as a result of their wayward start (W1, D1, L3) and with the third-worst defence at present (GA 14), an upturn in form is needed quickly. [/p]
[p]With all of their four points coming at home to this point (W1, D1, L1), Augsburg will welcome another home outing to try and rediscover their winning edge, though an entertaining fixture should be expected either way. That’s because each of their five Bundesliga games this season have produced at least four total goals, and considering that the corresponding fixture last term produced an entertaining 4-4 that saw Augsburg come back after trailing 2-0 and 3-1 in the first-half, the goals could fly again here.[/p]
[p]Much like their opposition this weekend, Borussia Mönchengladbach have also suffered an indifferent start to their own league campaign, though they did defeat Union Berlin 1-0 last time out thanks to a stoppage-time winner (W2, L3). That ended a run of successive defeats in the league prior, the second of which saw them defeated 2-0 by Eintracht Frankfurt on their travels.[/p]
[p]Interestingly, both of their away league games this season have ended in a 2-0 scoreline (W1, L1), with their prior 2-0 win at Bochum acting as just their fourth away league victory since the start of 2022/23 in 36 attempts (W4, D14, L18). Unfortunately for the visitors, their recent H2H away record won’t serve as much of a confidence boost either, as Gladbach have managed only one win in this stadium across 13 Bundesliga visits (W1, D6, L6), losing three of the last four such games.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Elvis Rexhbecaj has scored more Bundesliga goals against Gladbach than any other side (G4), whilst his only league goal for Augsburg this season came on home soil. Similarly, Tomáš Čvančara, scorer of the Gladbach winner last weekend, has scored more goals against Augsburg (G2) than against any other side, with both goals coming in this fixture last season.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Four of the last five H2Hs at Augsburg featured a goalless first half, though each of the last 13 such fixtures witnessed at least one second-half strike.[/p]
