Borussia Monchengladbach preview: Reset required
After going into the winter break on the back of consecutive defeats, Borussia Monchengladbach may well have been happy for the rest and opportunity to recharge and reset for the second half of the season in 2026 with them currently being sat in midtable far away from European contention.
It’s been an underwhelming season so far, which has seen Gladbach register just four wins, along with four draws and seven losses. They are one of seven clubs yet to crack the 20 goal mark in the Bundesliga this campaign.
Augsburg preview: Baum in battle to stay afloat
Manuel Baum is facing a big challenge to keep Augsburg in the Bundesliga this season. As it stands, his men are sat just above the bottom three and with St. Pauli’s game being postponed on Saturday, it will remain that way across this weekend due to Heidenheim’s poor goal difference. Therefore, three points here for Augsburg would make a massive impact.
They come into this encounter having won just one of their last four league games, that coming at home to Bayer Leverkusen. But their last two away fixtures have seen them beaten without scoring by Eintracht Frankfurt and Hoffenheim.

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Augsburg prediction
Only two teams have conceded more goals than Augsburg all season so far in the Bundesliga and when taking this account, Borussia Monchengladbach have little excuse not to find the net at least once in this game and over the course of 90 minutes, they should be expecting to score more than one goal.
Augsburg’s lack of offensive threat in front of goal on the road is a concern and it’s hard to see them being able to outscore the hosts. With that in mind, utilise the draw no bet market here for extra security and back Borussia Monchengladbach to overcome Manuel Baum’s side.
