Expired

Augsburg

Borussia Monchengladbach

Positioned at opposite ends of the table (FC Augsburg in 13th and Borussia M’gladbach in 5th) both teams will be looking to follow on from the crucial wins they achieved in the Bundesliga last weekend.

FC Augsburg’s away win to Hannover 96 pulled them 4 points clear of the relegation zone and Borussia M’gladbach’s home win to Rhine derby rivals FC Cologne will have left them satisfied, as they now sit 5th in the table (equal points with 4th place Bayer Leverkusen).

REASON FOR BETTING TIPS

FC Augsburg may have won away to bottom of the table Hannover 96 in the last Bundesliga matchday, but they are coming into this game with only 3 days rest since the 1-0 away loss to Liverpool in the 2nd leg of the Europa league round of 32 on Thursday. Borussia Monchengladbach will be fresh and looking to take advantage of Augburg’s poor home form (only winning 1 of their last 8 home games in the Bundesliga), especially as all focus is on the league without midweek European football since being knocked out of the Champions League. With Borussia M’gladbach having scored an average of 2.2 goals per game in their last 5 and Augsburg struggling for form a home, a Borussia M’gladbach win with a result of 2-1 at 17/2 seems a likely outcome.
