🗞️ Team News: Gladbach

It looks as if Gladbach may well use the 3-5-2 system for this game with Moritz Nicolas, Philipp Sander, Nico Elvedi, Kevin Diks, Joseph Scally, Rocco Reitz, Yannik Engelhardt, Florian Neuhaus, Lukas Ullrich, Shuto Machino and Haris Tabakovic.

📋 Team News: Augsburg

Augsburg manager Manuel Baum has not got a full squad to pick from. Chrislain Matsima (Tendon tear) and Jeffrey Gouweleeuw (Inner ligament injury) won’t be making appearances. Dimitrios Giannoulis will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We are inclined to think that Augsburg appear most likely to begin the game with a 3-4-2-1 formation, giving starts to Finn Dahmen, Noahkai Banks, Keven Schlotterbeck, Cedric Zesiger, Marius Wolf, Kristijan Jakic, Han-Noah Massengo, M. Valentin Pedersen, Fabian Rieder, Alexis Claude and Mert Komur.

🧠 Prediction

In this game, Borussia Mönchengladbach have it within them to get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.

Conversely, Augsburg are also probably going to find it difficult to score but we do fancy them being dangerous at times.

Therefore, we are anticipating a controlled 3-1 margin for Borussia Mönchengladbach at the end of the match.
