Mönchengladbach vs Union Berlin Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Prediction published on 28/04/2024, 00:43  by Kennedy Kechula in Bundesliga Predictions

Borussia Monchengladbach will host Union in the Bundesliga on Sunday with both sides focused on moving far away from the relegation zone. With 31 points, Monchengladbach are four points above the relegation playoff spot while Union Berlin are just two points above. Monchengladbach need to better Cologne’s result on the weekend to finish above the automatic relegation spots. They fought well in their last game only to concede a stoppage time goal to lose 4-3 to Hoffenheim. The hosts will be beating themselves up for letting that slip their grip. It was their second straight defeat, and third loss in four Bundesliga matches. Monchengladbach have managed just a win in their last eight matches, a run they have to improve on as they seek to steer clear of the drop zone. They come into this game with a poor record against Union Berlin, and that should bother them. In the last five meetings with Union Berlin, Monchengladbach suffered straight losses. They have managed just a win in nine meetings with Union Berlin. In the league this season, Monchengladbach have only managed seven wins.

You have to go back four years for the last time Union Berlin lost this fixture. They have six wins in the nine meetings between these two sides. The most recent of those victories came in their reverse meeting in December when they won 3-1. That was just one of their only eight wins in the league this season. They aren't on a very impressive run coming into this encounter, having lost three straight. Union Berlin are winless in four matches, and failed to score in three of them. Their 2-1 win over Werder Bremen in March is their only victory in the eight matches ahead of this one. A 5-1 loss to Bayern Munich in their last game was another blow to their hopes of survival. At this point, it is hard to imagine that this season Union Berlin participated in the Champions League group stages. As they battle relegation, their fourth-placed finish last season is a distant memory. Union Berlin have managed just one win in 18 away matches in all competitions. They also failed to score in 12 of those 18 away matches. If they win here and Cologne lose, Union Berlin will be sure to finish above the automatic relegation zone.
