Augsburg vs Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction and Betting Tips | August 19, 2023

Augsburg and Borussia Monchengladbach kick off their 2023-24 German Bundesliga campaign when they lock horns at the WWK ARENA on Saturday (August 19).

Both sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting results in the DFB Pokal opener and will look to kick off the league campaign on a high.

Augsburg were left spitting feathers on Sunday, as they fell to a shock 2-0 loss against German third-division side SpVgg Unterhaching in the opening round of the DFB-Pokal.

Enrico Maassen’s side have now lost their last three games, following defeats against Salernitana and Napoli in their final two friendlies.

Augsburg avoided relegation by the skin of their teeth last season, picking up 34 points to finish 15th in the Bundesliga, just one point and one place above the danger zone.

Monchengladbach, meanwhile, finished tenth in the Bundesliga last season after picking up 43 points. Gerardo Seoane’s men kicked off the new campaign in style, hammering TuS Bersenbrück 7-0 in the first round of the DFB Pokal last Friday.

That was in keeping with their superb performance in pre-season, where they went unbeaten, claiming six wins and two draws in their eight friendlies.
