Borussia Monchengladbach vs Bochum Prediction

Borussia Monchengladbach Form

In their previous three outings, Borussia Monchengladbach drew 1-1 with Eintracht, before losing 0-1 against Union Berlin and 2-1 against VfB Stuttgart. Borussia Monchengladbach claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Bundesliga. They also drew three and lost one, scored seven goals and conceded five.

They were hoping to book a ticket for a European competition, but as the season nears it end, Borussia Monchengladbach look to be drawing a blank this season.

Bochum Form

Bochum have been a tad mediocre in their last three matches where a win has failed to come their way. Against Union Berlin, they gained a point in a 1-1 draw, before coming up short against Wolfsburg, who ran out 1-5 winners. Lately, they managed to steal a point in a 1-1 with B. Dortmund. Bochum only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Bundesliga. In these six matches they drew two and lost three as well as being outscored by 13 goals to six.

They went into the season as candidates for the drop, and unfortunately for Bochum, they have lived up to expectations. As the season draws to a close, they are still in with a chance of escaping relegation, though.

Borussia Monchengladbach need to show they are capable of rising to the occasion after the recent setbacks, losing their previous two matches. We favour them to get a real boost of out playing in front of their home crowd and to claim a win.

Borussia Monchengladbach took 19 points from their last 14 encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Bundesliga table. This amounts to five wins after scoring 24 times and conceding 23. Bochum won three matches and picked up 12 points from their last 17 encounters with teams in the top half of the Bundesliga. They scored 13 goals and conceded 42. Borussia Monchengladbach so far pulled off a record of nine wins, nine draws and 12 defeats in the Bundesliga this season. Bochum are looking at eight wins, four draws and 18 defeats in the Bundesliga.
