Borussia Monchengladbach take on the visitors SV Werder Bremen at “Borussia-Park” in the semi-final of friendly Telekom Cup. The match will be played in Monchengladbach on Saturday, July 15th.
Last season Borussia Monchengladbach settled on the ninth position in the Bundesliga with 45 points earned and 45-49 goal difference. In summer “Die Fohlen” led rather active transfer campaign: the club engaged six football players for 36.3 million euro. Among new-comers should be mentioned Matthias Ginter, Vincenzo Grifo and Denis Zakaria. Meanwhile “Die Fohlen” sold Andre Hahn, Julian Korb and Mahmoud Dahoud for 21 million euro. This summer Borussia Monchengladbach conducted one encounter resulting in 1:0 victory over Wuppertaler.

In recent season SV Werder Bremen occupied the eighth place in the Bundesliga table with 45 points gained and 61-64 goal difference. “Die Werderaner” have not played yet. This summer SV Werder Bremen recruited a great number of new football players having spent nine million euro on Ludwig Augustinsson, Jerome Gondorf and Jiri Pavlenka. At the moment there is only one loss in the line-up, however, it is rather painful: Serge Gnabry who have been the side’s leader in last season was sold to Bayern Munich for 10 million euro. Not only the mentioned above midfielder left the club, still, the other performers didn’t play substantial role in the team.
Borussia Monchengladbach won their last three encounters against SV Werder Bremen. Usually a number of goals scored in the rivals’ head-to-heads. Thus, I believe that the opponents will combine numerous goals this time as well even though the sides will play only 45 minutes of football at a pitch.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
