Augsburg and Borussia Monchengladbach meet in the Bundesliga on Friday and both sides will be looking to kickstart their respective campaigns.

The hosts have just four points to show from their opening five league outings, while Gladbach have won two and lost three of their opening five.

With both sides in mixed form, a match result bet may not be the best approach and instead the goals markets provide the best starting point.

Augsburg’s games have been high-scoring affairs and all six of their fixtures, including a DfB Pokal win over regional outfit Viktoria Berlin, have seen at least three goals scored. Half of Gladbach’s games have gone over the 2.5 goals mark and both league meetings between these sides produced at least three goals – including an incredible 4-4 draw in the corresponding game at Augsburg.

The home side also have one of the worst defences in the division with 14 goals conceded already, while Gladbach have conceded five in total across their last three games.

Gladbach are yet to draw a game this season (W2, L3) and only one of Augsburg’s games has finished all-square.

However, these teams did draw at this venue last season and they have been close in recent head to head games with two wins each across their last five. Gladbach are probably the more likely winners based on their starts to the season but they have found wins hard to come by on their travels with just three in their last 18 games so they may settle for a point here and a 2-2 draw looks a reasonable correct score play.
