Augsburg will host Borussia Monchengladbach at WWK Arena in their sixth Bundesliga match of the season, aiming to surpass their opponents in the standings.

Augsburg had no excuses for their heavy defeat to Leipzig, failing to create significant chances and missing a penalty in the 27th minute while down 2-0. This loss marked their second consecutive defeat in the league, bringing their total goals conceded to 14, the third-worst in the division.

Manager Jess Thorup might feel his side has been unlucky, as they rank seventh for big chances created and eighth in expected goals (xG). Augsburg's only victory this season came against newly-promoted St. Pauli on September 15, yet they still sit below them in the standings due to goal difference. The team has lost three of their last four competitive matches and has only one win from their last five home games in the Bundesliga.

On the other hand, Borussia Monchengladbach has experienced a mixed season, winning three and losing three of their six matches. They secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Union Berlin on September 28, thanks to a 96th-minute goal from Tomas Cvancara. Although they created two big chances in that match, they managed only one xG, with coach Gerardo Seoane calling the win fortunate but essential.

This victory was their first home win in the league since late February, during which they had two draws and four losses. Monchengladbach has scored only six times in the Bundesliga this season, with only three teams scoring fewer. Their away form is also concerning, as they have lost 18, drawn 16, and won just four of their last 38 away matches in the league.
