Augsburg take on the visitors Borussia Monchengladbach in the round 6 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, October 4th at WWK Arena (Augsburg).
Augsburg after their initial rise to the Bundesliga, quickly made their way into European competitions and performed well there. However, over time, they became known as a team fighting for survival, yet always managing to avoid relegation. Things started to improve under Torup, who took over as coach last year, just after the start of the previous season. He managed to lift the team to an 11th-place finish. But now, the results are mediocre once again. After a 4-1 victory over Berlin’s Viktoria in the cup, they managed a home draw against Werder Bremen and a 3-1 win against St. Pauli, alongside defeats to Heidenheim and Mainz. To make matters worse, they suffered a heavy 0-4 loss to RB Leipzig.

Borussia Mönchengladbach struggle to find consistency. The "Foals" are a team with history, and not too long ago, under Marco Rose, they managed to qualify for the Champions League and even advanced to the knockout stages. But Rose’s successors have generally failed to make an impact. Last season, they finished just one point ahead of Bochum, who had to defend their spot in the Bundesliga through the relegation playoffs. Despite this, the club’s management continued to trust Gerardo Seoane. However, the Swiss coach hasn’t been able to make significant progress with his squad after the summer break. In the early stages of this season, Borussia managed to beat only Bochum (and lower-league Erzgebirge in the German Cup), while suffering losses to Bayer Leverkusen, Stuttgart, and Eintracht Frankfurt. They also struggled against Union Berlin, but managed to scrape a narrow 1-0 win.
In the last two Bundesliga seasons, these teams have exchanged home wins. However, last season, Augsburg, who had improved under Torup, managed to take 4 out of 6 possible points against the Foals. The hosts are given a slight advantage, but it’s unlikely to be a thrilling match. We suggest betting on "total goals under 3.5."
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 scored goals.
