Mönchengladbach vs Leipzig Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Prediction published on 22/09/2023, 04:04  by Daniel Ngulu in Bundesliga Predictions

Borussia Monchengladbach will be targeting their first win in Bundesliga when they host Leipzig in their next game. Coming to this game, Monchengladbach are 14th while Leipzig are third, both sides having played four matches. The hosts put up a spirited fight in their last game, to rise from 3-0 down to 3-3 against Darmstadt. They will aim to do better here, having failed to win since their DFB Pokal win over Bersenbrück. Their four matches that have followed, all Bundesliga, have exposed Monchengladbach’s defensive weaknesses. The hosts have conceded in all, on three occasions letting in three or more goals. In the four league matches coming to this, Monchengladbach have conceded 12 times. Only one side has conceded more. A two-game winning run over Leipzig was cut short in the 3-0 defeat last time these two sides met. It hasn’t been any easier at home, as their two losses this season came at home.

RB Leipzig are going into the second of three straight away matches. They won the first 3-1 away in Switzerland, beating Young Boys 3-1 in the Champions League. That was their fourth straight win since losing to Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen. Leipzig will be proud of their scoring run, even after losing a key forward in Christopher Nkunku in the summer. They have scored at least two goals in each of their six matches this season. Actually, in five of six matches they’ve scored three or more goals, and kept three clean sheets in six matches. In their last 10 Bundesliga games, Leipzig have posted eight wins. Those include three straight wins ahead of this game. Identical 3-0 wins over Augsburg and Union Berlin will boost their confidence ahead of this one. In the last meeting with Monchengladbach, they also won 3-0.
