Borussia M'gladbach - Augsburg predictions

By pricing a home win at around 1.94, the bookies made it clear that Borussia M'gladbach are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

The matchup this Sunday is rather one-sided, with Augsburg seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.80, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

If betting odds are to be believed, Borussia M. should have gone home as losers after the last round’s match against Stuttgart . However, the game ended in a surprise upturn after Borussia M. took the lead in the first half. They won with a decisive 3:1.

Augsburg are coming on the back of a narrow 0:1 home defeat against Bayer Leverkusen. The first half ended inconclusively, but the far stronger visiting team eventually pulled ahead – just like most betting predictions anticipated.

Borussia M. have displayed rather inconsistent defensive play in their previous outings. Specifically, their previous 3 away games have been marked by more than 5 conceded goals. They may be at home this time, but such records usually highlight deeper issues than a home-field disadvantage.

Considering the away team’s recent history, it seems they don’t play their best when they’re visitors. The previous 3 times were marked by 5 goals conceded and the negative trend will probably continue.

The home team had several opportunities to beat Augsburg this season, yet never managed to get anything other than a draw. They’re still considered the favourites, though, and the home-field advantage might be just what they need to break the stalemate.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Alassane Pléa, Jonas Omlin, Lukas Ullrich, Tomáš Čvančara, Maximilian Wöber. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Reece Oxford, Raphael Framberger, Mads Pedersen. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.57 if you use the Betfair sportsbook.
