Borussia Monchengladbach and Augsburg draw the curtain on their Bundesliga campaign at Borussia-Park on Saturday (May 27).
Monchengladbach turned in a resilient team performance on Sunday, coming from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw against Bayer Leverkusen at the Bay Arena. Before that, Daniel Farke’s side beat Bochum 2-0 on May 6 to snap a three-game winless run, one week before crashing back to earth in a 5-2 hammering against Borussia Dortmund.
With 40 points from 33 games, Monchengladbach are 11th in the Bundesliga, two points below FC Koln in the top half.
Augsburg, on the other hand, failed to seal their safety as they suffered a 3-0 hammering against title-chasing Dortmund last weekend. Enrico Maassen’s men have now lost successive games, managing just one win in ten league games since mid-March.
With 34 points from 33 games, Augsburg are 14th in the league, just two points above the relegation playoff spot.
