​German Bundesliga -- Borussia Monchengladbach vs Borussia Dortmund Game Preview

Analysis:

Both clubs will be attempting to recover from midweek losses.

 

Borussia Monchengladbach

Monchengladbach suffered a 2-1 loss against VfL Bochum last time out. In the current league season, they only able to compile five victories due to their recent inconsistency - hold the seventh spot on the rankings and have been experiencing defence issues for some time.

 

Borussia Dortmund

Earlier that evening, Wolfsburg defeated Dortmund 2-0. They've done okay at home so far this season. Along with Bayern Munich and Freiburg, they are now one of three clubs in the league with three straight victories. They just need an extra two points to catch up to second-placed Freiburg, who will play Leipzig in their next match.

 

Prediction

Gladbach now seem to be having trouble with a lack of confidence, and I anticipate Dortmund to punish them on Friday night.

 

 

Pick: Borussia Dortmund -0/0.5

German Bundesliga - Borussia Monchengladbach Vs Hertha Berlin Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

Borussia Monchengladbach and Hertha Berlin are set on collision course this Friday, 19th August at Stadion Borussia Park.

 

Borussia Monchengladbach

Borussia Monchengladbach are hoping to maintain their good start to the new Bundesliga season. Borussia Monchengladbach were denied a second win in as many matches when they conceded an injury time equalizer at Schalke past weekend. With confidence in their ranks climbing, Borussia Monchengladbach look ready to source for more points against an unconvincing Hertha Berlin outfit on Friday. Borussia Monchengladbach beat Die Alte Dame 2-0 at Stadion Borussia Park in March and they have the tactics to produce a similar result in this game.

 

Hertha Berlin

Hertha Berlin are unconvincing, they do not look like they are ready to challenge the dominance of the home team, given that their defensive line has not looked like its best in the recent past. Hertha Berlin have a long record of injured players in their squad which includes the likes of Marvin Plattenhardt, Omar Alderete, Myziane Maolida, Jessic Ngankam and Kelian Wa Saka among others. All of these players will not be present for obvious reasons in this match against Borussia Monchengladbach on Friday.

 

Verdict:

Borussia Monchengladbach have been undefeated in their last five games. They are currently the favourites to win this game. I expect the home team to win this game.
