On Saturday afternoon, Monchengladbach host Hertha Berlin at Borussia Park, as the home side attempt to bounce back from a recent poor run of form.
Monchengladbach have failed to win in their previous three games in all competitions, two of which were defeats. Both of those defeats were in the Champions League, but despite the losses the Foals still qualified for the knockout stages of European football’s elite competition.
Gladbach’s recent Bundesliga form has been inconsistent, as the home side has won just one of their last four league games in the German top-flight after a 2-2 draw at Freiburg last time out. The draw means that they dropped to seventh place in the table. However, Marco Rose’s team remain just three points outside the Champions League spots.
Monchengladbach are strong on home soil, as the Foals are unbeaten in eight Bundesliga games at Borussia Park, having recorded five wins in the process. Gladbach’s recent home matches in the German top-flight are generally high-scoring. In fact, both teams have scored in 11 of their previous 13 home matches Bundesliga matches.
Hertha Berlin have been the definition of inconsistency this season, picking up 11 points from their ten Bundesliga outings this season. A 3-1 win over Union in the derby last weekend was only Hertha’s second win in their last nine Bundesliga matches.
The visitors recent league matches have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four Bundesliga outings.
Bruno Labbadia’s team have been highly inconsistent on their travels in the German top-flight of late, winning just one of their last four league matches on the road. However, the team from the German capital have kept two straight clean sheets in the Bundesliga on their travels.
Forebet predicts that Monchengladbach will get back to winning ways by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
