Adi Hütter's team is in 14th position with 19 points. Borussia Monchengladbach has five victories, four draws, and eight defeats after 17 rounds. Unlike Bayern Munich, Borussia cannot be satisfied with their performance in the Bundesliga. The Colts, who played in the Champions League group stage in the previous season, finished the 1st half of the current championship with three points from the relegation zone. The ending of the calendar year was unfortunate for Hütter's footballers. Borussia had a streak of four consecutive defeats and broke it on 18 December with a draw in the away match against Hoffenheim (1-1). The Colts opened the scoring in the 1st half and were close to victory, but conceded in the 91st minute and limited themselves to one point.
The teams crossed paths twice in the 2021/22 season. They shared points in the first Bundesliga match in Monchengladbach on August 13 last year (1-1), and the 2nd round of the German Cup was marked by a sensation. On October 27, the Colts hammered Bayern Munich at home with a score of 5-0. In general, the Bavarians often have difficulties in head-to-head matches against Borussia. The recent confrontations between the teams have been characterized by a large number of goals. In three out of four previous games in the Bundesliga and the German Cup, the opponents have scored at least five goals for two. Now they have serious problems with their lineups, so we may well count on another goal show.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.5 goals scored
