Borussia Monchengladbach are winless in three straight Bundesliga matches ahead of Friday’s visit from Werder Bremen.
The visitors are also in bad shape now with back-to-back losses in the Bundesliga. Four of Werder Bremen’s last five fixtures ended in defeat.

Friday’s match is a midtable clash between the two teams. Gladbach are 10th in the division and Werder Bremen are 11th. With both teams locked on 30 points, the pair should finish comfortably in midtable.
Gladbach were unbeaten in five of the last six matches against Werder Bremen. However, earlier this season, Bremen smashed the Foals 5-1. Niclas Fullkrug scored twice, while Marvin Ducksch and Mitchell Weiser added goals.
Gladbach’s Remy Bensebaini scored an own goal. Marcus Thuram found the back of the net for the Foals but by the time he did, Gladbach were well-beaten.
Borussia Monchengladbach are not in good form ahead of the fixture. They took five points from the last six matches in the league, scoring four goals and conceding 13 times.
The Foals play well at home, where they have a record of seven wins, two draws, and three losses. Their goal difference at home is +10 with 25 goals scored and 15 conceded.
Werder Bremen took six points from the last 18 points on offer. They were outscored 9-8 by their last six opponents. Bremen do not travel well and have a record of four wins, two draws, and five defeats. Five of their last six away matches were defeats.
Gladbach coach Daniel Farke will be without Bensebaini due to a suspension. Goalkeeper Jan Olschowsky will be absent due to illness. Defender Tony Jantschke and midfielder Julian Weigl are both major doubts to play.
Werder Bremen coach Ole Werner has a long list of players in the treatment room. Midfielder Leandro Bittencourt, goalkeeper Dudu, midfielder Romano Schmid, and defender Marco Friedl are all doubts to play the match.
Meanwhile, Werner could be without midfielder Christian Gross. Jean Manuel Mbom and Felix Agu are both set to miss the match through injury.
Werder Bremen’s last three matches in the league finished with more than 2.5 goals. The last two matches between Gladbach and Bremen ended with over 2.5 goals.
Gladbach’s home form should help them on Friday night. Werder Bremen do not play well. The Green and White lost five of their last six road games.
Borussia Monchengladbach should post a win with the game finishing 2-1. The Foals went unbeaten in their last seven home games versus Bremen.
