Augsburg vs Monchengladbach Prediction
🔊 Can Augsburg challenge for a European spot? This Saturday at the WWK Arena, the Bavarian club hosts Borussia Mönchengladbach, who secured their Bundesliga status for next season in the previous round and can now play their last two matches without pressure. However, Eugen Polanski's side still has a chance to leapfrog the Fuggerstädter in the standings, but they need to take the first step by defeating Augsburg on their home turf. Meanwhile, Manuel Baum's team retains a slim hope of reaching the UEFA Conference League zone. We'll delve into all the details in our prediction below.

Augsburg Team Overview
🔴 Last weekend, Manuel Baum's side traveled to Bremen and returned with three points, courtesy of a double from Anton Kade and a goal by Kristijan Jakic against Werder Bremen (3-1). Augsburg, having already secured their Bundesliga spot for next season, are now setting their sights on a European competition berth, albeit with slim chances. The team remains unbeaten in five matches and trails seventh-placed Freiburg by just four points, keeping their hopes alive for a spot in the Conference League.
🟢 The "Fuggers" have been particularly formidable at home. In their last 11 matches at the WWK Arena, they have suffered only one defeat, drawing with Hoffenheim (2-2) and Eintracht Frankfurt (1-1). Notably, they managed just three points from their first five home games of the season but have since accumulated 20.

Borussia M'gladbach Team Overview
🟢 Haris Tabakovic's last-minute winner secured all three points for Gladbach in their clash against Borussia Dortmund (1-0). This victory ensured the club's place in the Bundesliga for another season. The "Foals" have been impressive defensively this season, keeping 12 clean sheets, the second-best record in the league behind Borussia Dortmund, who have 14. This marks Gladbach's best defensive performance since the 2018/19 season, when they also achieved 13 matches without conceding.
⚫ However, the team struggles on the road: Gladbach have failed to win any of their last ten away matches, collecting only 14 points during this stretch. Only five teams in the league have earned fewer points away from home.

Latest news
Augsburg
❌ The hosts will be without Mads Pedersen due to a knee injury. Additionally, Dimitris Giannoulis's participation remains uncertain after he was substituted in the 66th minute of the previous match against Werder.
Borussia M'gladbach
❌ Rocco Reitz, who suffered an ankle injury in the match against Borussia Dortmund, is sidelined. Tim Kleindienst is gradually returning to full training with the squad. All other players are available for the match.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
The referee for the match at "WWK Arena" is Tobias Reichel. In his previous game, he handed out four yellow cards, with an average of 3.3 bookings per match over his last ten appearances. Augsburg lead the league in yellow cards and are unlikely to relinquish this dubious title. Over 32 rounds, the "Fuggers" have received 77 bookings, averaging 2.4 per match. Gladbach, on the other hand, are one of the most disciplined teams in the league, with 54 yellow cards for the season, or 1.7 on average per game. A bet on over 3.5 yellow cards appears optimal, as this line has been met in Gladbach's last six matches.
⚽ Goal Prediction
There's a strong chance this match will be high-scoring. At least because over 2.5 goals has been a feature in their last five Bundesliga head-to-heads. Augsburg have failed to win at home in their last three matches but consistently find the net at "WWK Arena". Meanwhile, Gladbach will aim to end their ten-match winless streak on the road. Odds stand at 1.61*.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Augsburg average 4.5 corners per match this season, while Borussia earn 3.9 corners, ranking them second to last in the league. The game is likely to see Augsburg dominate, considering their solid home form and Gladbach's poor away results. Thus, it's reasonable to expect fewer corners from the visitors. We opt for Gladbach's individual total under 4.5 corners at 1.69*.
*Odds are approximate and may vary across different bookmakers.
Editor's Prediction
Augsburg aim to defeat Borussia not only to stay in the race for a spot in the Europa Conference League but also to seek revenge for their heavy loss in the first round. Meanwhile, Gladbach have already secured their primary objective for the season and can play with more freedom, without significant pressure on the result. Our prediction is both teams to score (yes). This bet has come through in Augsburg's last six matches. The likely outcome is a 2-1 victory for the Fuggerstädter.
