Wow, what a start from FC Augsburg into the season. They collected already 9 Points and they won three matches in a row what they never made in their BL history. Also 9 Points after 6 matches is great if we compare this number to last season where they had 9 after 17 Rounds. This is more as one step forward for them at the moment and they play very solid additional. Coach Weinzierl and Sportmanager Reuter did a great job there so far. Overall they played really compact and they know what to do, they have a plan how to play and this is only the success from Coach. He gives his team a real new face and the mood and attitude is very good in team. Also, all speak very well about the Coach. This confirms his good work and lets him go on his way. They had 2 wins against Stuttgart and Freiburg both 2-1 and one lose 0-4 vs. Dortmund at home so far. In all matches they played well and showed their fighting spirit although they lost 0-4 in their first matches. But one more thing was seen, they have a lot of quality with free kicks or corners this season. Above all Holzhauser brought in this quality and he takes all. They scored twice against Stuttgart after free kick and corner. And with their tall guys Carllsen-Bracker, Mölders, Altintop and Klavan they are always able to be dangerous after standards. Some doubts because of illness are Holzhauser and Moravek, both were not in the squad for the Cup match vs. Münster but should return here.    

The team from Coach Lucien Favre did a great job so far, but only in their home matches because away from home they were not able to collect a single Point. In all their 3 matches on the road they lost. Despite these bad run they played sometimes very good but were even not able to reward them. The opening in Munich was good from them but they could not use the space Bayern Munich gave them over the wings, created a lot but wasted all. Next one in Leverkusen was an average performance from them, they had some good periods in this matches but most of the time they were bad. After they were 0-2 down they had a good comeback an equalized 2-2 but after it they fall back to their bad style and lost 2-4. Almost same in their last match on the road where they started well into the match and looked as the better side but they conceded two goals in a few minutes what decided this encounter. Although, they showed great moral and played really good after 0-2 they could only score a single goal. If they can bring at least 60% of their home performances on the road they get for sure their first Point. The squad which Coach Favre has to work is more as average this season and they have a lot of potential anyway. Above all the offensive with Raffael, Kruse, Herrmann and Arango is one of the best in BL and can bring every defensive in trouble. I expect them to bounce back after three loses on the road and getting their first Point/s here. The team travelled without suspended Xhaka, injured Daems and ill Younes. 

Despite their three defeats away from home I see more quality and potential in Gladbach’s team as in Augsburg’s. Also they should have some advantage because they can prepare the whole week for this encounter while Augsburg had to play in Cup vs. Preußen Münster on Tuesday. This cost a lot of energy and can be a disadvantage for them here. I am sure, that Gladbach will not lose four in a row on the road. Therefore this is a must bet for me.
