Augsburg have managed to make different impressions this season. The last two meetings the team conceded two goals in the first 15 minutes. Jess Thorup’s wards start badly in the starting segments, and in different halves of the matches. Only against St. Pauli did they not concede quick goals after coming out of the locker rooms. This remains so far the only confrontation where it turned out to take three points.
Borussia Monchengladbach shows a very decent game and if not heavy starting calendar, they would probably be much higher in the standings. A very important victory was obtained last round over a strong Union with a score of 1:0, which had not known defeat before.
Borussia looks the favorite in this match. The team is second only to Bayer in terms of chances created. Augsburg is very weak in defense. This is recognized by the players and the coach. Although different schemes have been tried.
