Prediction published on 20/04/2024, 00:51  by Kennedy Kechula in Bundesliga Predictions

Hoffenheim will host Borussia Monchengladbach in their next Bundesliga game, both teams looking to finish the season on a high. Ahead of this game, Hoffenheim, on 36 points, are ninth, two places above Monchengladbach, who have 31 points so far. Mathematically, neither side is safe, but at the same time, they both can hold on to their hopes for Europe next season. As it stands, Hoffenheim are six points behind sixth placed Eintracht Frankfurt. They are also 10 points above the relegation playoff position with five matches to go. We don’t expect that they’ll drop to the relegation scrap, but their recent form hasn’t been close to a side contesting for Europe. In their last five matches, Hoffenheim have suffered four defeats, the most recent a 4-1 loss at Mainz. They have just three wins in the last 15 league matches. The notable stat in their recent matches is that Hoffenheim rarely fail to score but they also haven't managed a lot of clean sheets. Both teams scored in 12 of their last 15 league matches and they have no clean sheet in 23 matches.

Borussia Monchengladbach have dominated the recent meetings with Hoffenheim, and will be confident of extending that here. In their last five meetings with Hoffenheim, the visitors are unbeaten, and won the last four. Their reverse fixture ended in a 2-1 win, Borussia Monchengladbach needing a late Nathan Ngoumou goal to seal victory. Sitting 11th , Borussia Monchengladbach are just five points above the relegation playoff position. Unlike their hosts, they have very little room to maneuver in the remaining five matches. In their last outing, Borussia Monchengladbach couldn’t outsmart 10-man Borussia Dortmund, losing 2-1 at home. That was Borussia Monchengladbach’s second defeat in three matches and they’ve managed just a win in seven matches. Recent elimination from the German Cup by a lower tier side, Saarbrücken, didn’t just dent their hopes for Europe but also showed how poor they are. The last time Borussia Monchengladbach played an away game, they beat Wolfsburg 3-1. That was their first away win in 12 outings; they lost seven of the 12.
