Borussia Park, Monchengladbach

Monchengladbach will be keen to get back to winning ways when they welcome Augsburg for Saturday’s Bundesliga clash.
The Borussen had a slow start to the 2020/21 season, but they got back on track brilliantly with impressive performances in both Bundesliga and Champions League. But their 8 match unbeaten streak is brought to an end with the 3-4 defeat at Leverkusen.
On the other hand, Augsburg started the season by winning their first two games, the second an impressive one and probably the biggest upset of the season against Dortmund with a 2-0 scoreline.
However, they were all over the park since, lost 3 and drew 1 of the next 5 with an exception of win against relegation bound Mainz.
Saturday’s fixture will be a tough test for Heiko Herrlich’s men with Monchengladbach being one of the toughest teams to beat at their own backyard.
Gladbach is unbeaten in the last 7 head-to-head games versus Augsburg, 4 wins and 3 draws.
Last season, they did a double with a 5-1 win at Borussia-Park and 3-2 at the WWK Arena.

Hoffenheim had a good start this season with two consecutive wins in the opening, but now Sebastian Hoene and his men have five winless games on their tail in the league.
With only one draw in it, they will host on the back of a double loss, following a 2-1 loss on the road against Wolfsburg last time out.
Three points ahead of the home team in the league table, Stuttgart is not the strongest opponent to sweep the host of all three points.
The visitor is on a six-game unbeaten streak with 4 draws in it and will visit on the back of a 2-2 draw at home with Frankfurt in the previous encounter in the schedule.
The host has recorded three of the last five overall wins. Only one of their recent five meetings has ended in a draw. Both teams have scored in six of the last ten fixtures.

VELTINS Arena, Gelsenkirchen
Saturday, 21-11-2020 @5:30pm
Two straight league draws hints at an improvement in the campaign for Schalke 04. But the host is now on the second-longest run without a victory (D9, L14) in Bundesliga history. They return home after a 2-2 draw on the road with Mainz last time out in the schedule.
Meanwhile, Wolfsburg is one of the two teams in Bundesliga that holds on to the unbeaten streak so far after seven rounds in the schedule. They will visit on the back of a 2-1 win at home against the likes of Hoffenheim in their previous encounter in the campaign.

Arminia Bielefeld vs Bayer Leverkusen
Schuco Arena, Bielefeld
Saturday, 21-11-2020 @5:30pm
Arminia Bielefeld’s four points after seven rounds is now a worse return than in any of the previous seven seasons.
After losing five straight Bundesliga matches, they will host on the back of a 5-0 loss on the road against Union Berlin last time out in the schedule.
The high-tempo in the Bundesliga clearly suits Bayer Leverkusen in the upcoming match, as they remain unbeaten after seven Bundesliga rounds.
They will visit on the back of a four-game winning streak, following a 4-3 win at home against the likes of Monchengladbach in the last league clash.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs RB Leipzig
Deutsche Bank Arena, Frankfurt Am Main
Saturday, 21-11-2020 @8:30pm
The Red Bulls have elevated themselves as possibly the second-best team in Germany, and considering that the prime spot goes to the treble-winning Bavarians – it’s a phenomenal achievement.
As of now, they are lagging two points below Bayern Munich in the second position, and impressively have conceded the least number of goals of all the teams in the competition.
They surely will love to keep the pace for the title-race, and put Hans-Dieter Flick’s men under huge pressure.
The latest encounter had ended in a 3-1 win for Adolf Hutter’s men. (On another note, the Hutter family really thought that naming their son ‘Adolf’ was a great idea). They are on a two-match winning run, as well had recorded three of the former four wins. At this venue, the hosts have a 100% unbeaten record. Not once have the home team failed to score at this stadium.
Hertha Berlin vs Borussia Dortmund
Olympiastadion, Berlin

BVB were level on points with arch-rivals Bayern till the last match-day. However, the Bavarians outscored them in the most recent game week, and thus Lucien Favre’s men were pushed to the third spot.
They surely will be desperate to get back to their winning track very soon, and they have the perfect opponent in that regards this weekend.
Die Alte Dame are one of the worst teams in the competition, and it’s seldom that they post points on the board.
They also do have a terrible h2h record against this opponent.
The last time these two locked horns with each other, Der BVB recorded a 1-0 win at home. They are also on a three-match winning run. They had registered 15 of the preceding 21 overall wins. At this venue, the guests had recorded eight of the former eleven wins. The hosts had failed to score in eight of the previous fifteen encounters at this ground.
