Leipzig vs Mönchengladbach Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Prediction published on 17/02/2024, 04:28  by Kennedy Kechula in Bundesliga Predictions

RB Leipzig will be looking to stabilize their Bundesliga top four chase when they welcome Borussia Monchengladbach at the Red Bull Arena. Ahead of this game, Monchengladbach are six points above the relegation zone while Leipzig are three points below the top four. It hasn’t been a great period for Leipzig, who come into this game seeking a second win in eight matches. They are coming from a 1-0 home loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League and hope to bounce back here. They have work to do, having failed to win any of their last two matches. In their last league game, they blew a slim 2-1 lead to draw 2-2 with Augsburg. A 2-0 win over struggling Union Berlin at the start of February is their only league win in six matches. This run, which has three losses in five league games, has left them on 37 points. They have the joint most defeats in the Bundesliga top six after 21 matches. Two straight wins over Monchengladbach will however give them the needed psychological boost coming here. Having scored at least twice in each of their last four league games, Leipzig will believe they can edge their visitors. However, they will need a better effort defensively, having conceded at least twice in three of the last four league games.

Borussia Monchengladbach aren’t in their best shape coming into this game. Their last four matches are a depiction of how it has been in their season. Die Fohlen have failed to win any of their last four matches, all in the Bundesliga, losing twice in that run. A poor season so far has Borussia Monchengladbach on 22 points from 21 matches. They have just five wins in those 21 matches and it will not help that they’ve struggled in past games against Leipzig. Monchengladbach have the worst defensive record among the teams that are above the relegation zone. They’ve conceded 41 goals in 21 matches, a tally that’s only better than the bottom placed side. One win only in 10 away league games places them among the poorest teams on the road, a stat Gerardo Seoane will be keen to change. Coming into this game, they have four losses in the last five away matches, and conceded three or more in three of those five.
