Borussia Moenchengladbach Form

Borussia Moenchengladbach look back on their last three matches with two victories to show for their efforts. Against Bayern Munich, they were left empty-handed in a 0-3 defeat, but they avenged themselves by beating Karlsruher SC in a 3-1 win. They followed that up with a 0-4 win against St. Pauli in their most recent outing. Borussia Moenchengladbach are without a win in their last six Bundesliga matches on home soil, which produced a record of two draws and four defeats, in which they conceded 14 and scored four goals.

Ambitions are high for FC Koln, and winning the title is still possible, but they need to raise their level to achieve the highest prize.
