Prediction published on 21/01/2024, 03:16  by Joseph King in Bundesliga Predictions

10th-place Borussia Monchengladbach host 12th-place Augsburg for this mid-table meeting on matchday 18 of the German Bundesliga. Monchengladbach came back from the winter break with an excellent 3-1 home victory over high-flying Stuttgart last weekend. They achieved this feat through effective counter-attacking as they were able to create four clear cut chances despite having just 29% of the possession. They’ll now attempt to win back-to-back league matches for just the first time in the 2023/24 campaign. BMG have managed just five wins, five draws and seven defeats in their 17 games for a points total of 20. This has the Foals stuck somewhat in no-man’s land as they sit nine points above relegation and seven points off of European qualification. Monchengladbach have not been good on the road but have put up decent results at Borussia Park. They’ve won four, drawn twice and lost three of their nine fixtures on home soil.

Augsburg didn’t experience as warm a return to league play as their opponents. They looked like they were on track to steal a point off leaders Bayer Leverkusen at home only to concede in the fourth minute of stoppage time to lose 1-0. It was the team’s second defeat in a row and their third in the last four Bundesliga outings. With a total of only four points in their last five, Augsburg have slipped down to 12th in the table. A record of four wins, six draws and seven defeats has Fuggerstädter sitting on 18 points and with the possibility to leapfrog their opponents today. Augsburg will be in for a struggle, however, as they have not put up good results on the road. The visitors have five defeats in their eight away trips with only a single victory to their name.
