On Friday night, Monchengladbach and Wolfsburg meet in the Bundesliga, with the visitors looking to move away from the relegation zone.
Monchengladbach are eighth-place in the Bundesliga table but have one eye on finishing in the European spots. The home side’s chances of finishing in the Bundesliga top-six have taken a hit due to their inconsistent league form.
In fact, Gladbach have won two, lost two and drawn three of their last seven outings in the German top-flight. However, they remain just six points off the European spots, although time is running out for Dieter Hecking’s side.
The home side has been poor in defence of late in the Bundesliga, conceding at least two goals in four of their last six outings in the German top-flight.
Gladbach have also won just one of their last five home games in the Bundesliga, although they are now three games unbeaten on home soil in the German top-flight, having picked up two draws and a win.
Wolfsburg are currently only above the relegation play-off spot due to a superior goal difference to Mainz and 16th place Freiburg.
The Wolves are currently three games unbeaten in the Bundesliga, having drawn two and won one of those games. However, Bruno Labbadia’s side has won just once in their last ten outings in the Bundesliga.
The visitor’s away record in the German top-flight is a poor one, as they have won just two of their last 14 games on their travels in the Bundesliga. The Wolves recent away games in the German top-flight have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last nine games on their travels.
Both teams need maximum points for very different reasons. However, Forebet predicts that this clash will finish all square to frustrate everybody connected with both clubs.
