FC Augsburg 3-1 Borussia Mönchengladbach result, stats and report

FC Augsburg and Union Berlin both finished with ten men and one goal apiece, producing a dramatic 1-1 draw that neither side will be particularly satisfied with. Han-Noah Massengo headed Augsburg in front before Janik Haberer levelled for the visitors in a chaotic final twenty minutes.

Borussia Mönchengladbach ended a five-match losing run with a stunning 3-2 victory at VfB Stuttgart, with Joe Scally, Shuto Machino, and Wael Mohya doing the damage despite Stuttgart dominating possession throughout.

1899 Hoffenheim took all three points at Borussia Park with a 2-1 victory, but this was a result built on the failings of a Gladbach side that have now lost five Bundesliga matches in a row rather than any great quality from the visitors.

FC Augsburg have not kept a clean sheet in their last five Bundesliga matches. FSV Mainz 05 arrive having won three of their last five. The maths are not complicated.

Borussia Mönchengladbach have lost five Bundesliga matches in a row and kept zero clean sheets. Borussia Dortmund arrive in form and organised at the back. This one looks straightforward.

Borussia Mönchengladbach welcome Paderborn to the Borussia-Park on Saturday without a single Bundesliga win across their last five matches. Something has to give. The question is whether it will be Gladbach's misery or Paderborn's wobbling form.

FC Augsburg have not kept a single clean sheet in their last five Bundesliga matches, and SC Freiburg arrive at the WWK Arena with three wins from five and an attack that has been finding the net with regularity. This one has goals written all over it.

FC Augsburg host Union Berlin on Saturday with both clubs carrying serious problems into this Bundesliga clash. The question is simple: who wants it more.
