A massive week in the Bundesliga is here, and Forebet is too to put together all the analysis, trends, mathematics, data and football predictions for the game between two German giants, RB Leipzig and Borussia Monchengladbach.
Neither side will be pleased about their form shown this season, but it is the away side Gladbach who are in absolute tatters this season after losing stars like Marcus Thuram.
In fact, since finishing fourth and just four points off second four seasons ago, the club have gone on to finish eighth, 10th, 10th again, and now sit down in 13th and only three places above the relegation spots.

Gladbach have a gap of only six points on Koln down in 16th and have now won only five games this season.
They've put together a four-game winless streak since recording their fifth win of the Bundesliga season where they defeated Stuttgart with a brace from Robin Hack and a goal from Jordan Pefok.
Since that day, a loss would come at home to Augsburg, although they did manage to get a commendable draw away to the unbeaten league leaders, Bayer Leverkusen, and became the first team in Germany this season to keep a clean sheet at the BayArena.
Bayern Munich would also defeat them before a draw with Darmstadt, and it now means nine losses and seven draws on the board too for Gladbach, with them letting in and alarming 41 goals let in - this is the most in the division besides last-placed Darmstadt, who they have recently failed to beat on home soil.
One of those nine defeats this season in the Bundesliga for Gladbach was at home to Leipzig, as Timo Werner - now of Tottenham Hotspur - scored the game's only goal in the second half.
Leipzig haven't impressed much since, and the departure of players like Christopher Nkunku is clearly being felt this season.
They have a gap of 13 points on Bayern in second place and are in fifth and behind Borussia Dortmund by three points.
Marco Rose's men lost at home to the 14-time champions of Europe Real Madrid during the week in their first leg of the Champions League, although they were arguably the better side with nine shots on target.
Leipzig also drew 2-2 with Augsburg and have now only won one of their past five Bundesliga games after beating Union Berlin two weeks ago. Forebet predicts a win for Leipzig and over 2.5 goals.
