Borussia Monchengladbach take on the visitors RB Leipzig in the round 5 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, September 23rd at Borussia-Park Stadium (Monchengladbach).
Borussia aims to bring European competitions back to Mönchengladbach. The Foals, after losing Marco Rose, who led them to the Champions League playoffs, noticeably declined. They fell out of the European competition zone altogether. Last season, they brought in Daniel Farke to rescue the situation, but he, too, disappointed on home turf, delivering quite average results: they finished the 2022/2023 season in 10th place. Its no surprise that there was another coaching change this summer. However, things seem to be deteriorating once again. Héctor Cúper hasnt fared any better than he did in Leverkusen a year ago (although he initially led Bayer into the Champions League). With the Swiss coach, they only secured victory in the cup, where they demolished a team called Berzenbrock 7-0. But what good is that when theyve only taken 2 points in the Bundesliga so far, losing to Bayer and Bayern, with draws against Augsburg and Darmstadt? Even if they managed to come back from 0-3 against lilies?

The Bulls placed their bet on Marco Rose a year ago. His predecessor saved the ambitious club in the 2021/2022 season but had a poor start to the new season. The current coach has largely repeated what Domenico Tedesco achieved, including defending their status as the DFB-Pokal winners. But more importantly, he managed not to make the same mistakes as the former coach of Moscows Spartak did last autumn. Although they sold key players like Nkunku, Sabitzer, and Guardiol, they invested part of the proceeds in a new set of interesting newcomers. The team managed to start the season successfully this time. It began with a 3-0 victory over Bayern, even if it was in the German Super Cup. There was a setback in Leverkusen, where they lost 2-3 to Bayer in the first round of the Bundesliga. However, this was followed by crushing victories over Stuttgart, Union Berlin, and Augsburg. Whats more, the new signings are performing well: Sheshko scored twice, Openda three times, and Javi Simmons with 3+4. However, their schedule is getting busier due to the Champions League – this week they started away against Young Boys.
Borussia won both matches last calendar year. But in March, in Leipzig, the hosts staged a 3-0 rout. The guests are clearly stronger, and the Champions League load is unlikely to hinder them. We bet on an away victory with a -1 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: RB Leipzig to win with -1.0 handicap.
