Monchengladbach to boost title hopes at Dusseldorf

Fortuna Düsseldorf vs Mönchengladbach - 15/02/2020

13/02/20 2172

In the late kick-off on Saturday in the Bundesliga, relegation-threatened Fortuna Dusseldorf host title-chasing Monchengladbach in a vital game for both teams.

Fortuna Dusseldorf are desperate for a victory, as they currently occupy the relegation play-off spot in the Bundesliga, only outside the relegation zone on goal difference.

A 1-1 draw at Wolfsburg last time out in the Bundesliga means that Fortuna have failed to win in their last four matches in the German top-flight. Their recent league games have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four outings.

A lack of firepower this season has hampered Fortuna’s chances of escaping the relegation battle, as they are the lowest scorers in the German top-flight with just 20 goals scored.

Dusseldorf also have a poor recent home record in the Bundesliga, having won just once in their last five matches in the German top-flight. Fortuna have kept just two clean sheets on home soil in the Bundesliga in their last 16 matches dating back to last season.

Monchengladbach needs to get their title challenge back on track after an inconsistent recent run of form. A 2-2 draw at RB Leipzig in their last league game means that Marco Rose’s team have won just once in four Bundesliga outings.

Their unconvincing form of late has seen the visitors fall four points behind league leaders Bayern Munich. However, the Foals have a game in hand of the leaders.

Gladbach’s recent Bundesliga matches have offered good entertainment value, as there have been over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight league matches.

Rose’s team have been poor travellers in recent weeks, having failed to win in their last five Bundesliga games on their travels. The fact that Monchengladbach have conceded at least twice in four of their last five away games has hampered their chances of recording an away win.

Forebet predicts that Monchengladbach will end their poor away run by recording a victory in a low-scoring clash.
