Fri Oct 04 20:29:58 UTC 2024: ## Struggling Augsburg Face Tough Test Against Monchengladbach

**Augsburg, Germany -** FC Augsburg will be looking to turn their fortunes around when they host Borussia Monchengladbach at the WWK ARENA on Friday night. The home side currently sits in 15th place on the Bundesliga table with just four points from five matches, struggling to replicate last season’s form. Their only league win came against newly promoted St. Pauli, with three subsequent losses leaving them in a precarious position.

Monchengladbach, on the other hand, have enjoyed a decent start to the season despite a few key injuries. They have six points from five matches, showcasing their quality and potential. Although points-wise the teams are close, the away side is considered a stronger contender.

Augsburg’s key midfielder, **Raphael Onyka**, will be a crucial factor in their quest to secure a victory. He boasts impressive physicality, stamina, and tackling ability, making him a valuable asset for the team.

Meanwhile, Monchengladbach will look to the experienced **Julian Weigl** to orchestrate their attacks. Weigl’s ability to find space and deliver precise passes makes him a dangerous threat.

Both teams have injury concerns going into the match. Augsburg will miss Robert Gumny and Daniel Klein, while Monchengladbach are without Yvandro Borges Sanches, Jan Olschowsky, Simon Walde, and Jonas Omlin.

Despite their injury woes, Monchengladbach is tipped as the favourite due to their superior form and quality. Augsburg’s defensive vulnerabilities could prove costly against a talented Monchengladbach attack.

**The Khel Now prediction:** FC Augsburg 1-2 Borussia Monchengladbach.

**The match will be broadcasted on SonyLiv and Sony Sports Network in India, and on StarTimes App and Canal+Sport 1 Afrique in Nigeria.**
