Borussia Monchengladbach vs RB Leipzig Prediction

Borussia Monchengladbach Form

Borussia Monchengladbach only added a single point to their account in their last three games, where they lost 0-3 and 1-2 against Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich respectively. At least they managed a 3-3 draw with Darmstadt. In their last six Bundesliga home matches, Borussia Monchengladbach have three wins, while they've drawn zero and lost three. They scored seven and conceded six goals.

Qualification for an international tournament is the ideal scenario Borussia Monchengladbach hope to accomplish by the end of the season, but everything needs to click for this to happen.

RB Leipzig Form

In their last three matches, RB Leipzig first beat Union Berlin 0-3, then Augsburg by 3-0 and finally BSC Young Boys by 1-3. RB Leipzig performed a very admirable four wins in six Bundesliga away matches, drawing none but losing twice as well. They scored ten times, while also conceding six goals.

A runners-up spot is the absolute minimum RB Leipzig should achieve for a season in which a tilt at league glory is their top priority.

We expect RB Leipzig to return from their trip to Borussia-Park with a win, but Borussia Monchengladbach will do anything to avoid getting pummelled on home soil. Thus, we combine the away win with under 3.5 goals.
