On Saturday afternoon, Hoffenheim and Monchengladbach clash at the PreZero in a midtable Bundesliga encounter.
Hoffenheim suffered yet another defeat at MainzA 4-1 defeat at Mainz last time out means that the home team has now lost four of their last five matches in the Bundesliga. Pellegrino Matarazzo’s team has conceded at least two goals in all four recent defeats.
The poor recent run of form has Hoffenheim in ninth place in the table, six points adrift of the European spots in the Bundesliga. Despite the poor run of form, they are still ten points clear of the league's bottom three.
The side from Sinsheim has a mixed recent home record in the Bundesliga, although the home team has won just two of their last eight home matches.
Their recent home games in the German top flight have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last three home matches in the Bundesliga.
Monchengladbach’s poor run extended against DortmundThe Foals head into this match on the back of a 2-1 home defeat against Dortmund. The result means that the visitors have won just one of their previous six outings in the German top-flight.
Gerardo Seoane’s team are just five points clear of the league’s bottom three, so cannot rest on their laurels just yet.
The visitor’s recent Bundesliga form may be poor, but at least their recent league games have offered goals, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings.
Last time out, Gladbach ended a ten-game winless run in the Bundesliga by recording a 3-1 win at Wolfsburg. Their recent away games in the German top flight have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in 13 of their last 17 matches.
What am I backing?Both team’s recent league form has been questionable. However, the pair have been involved in several high-scoring games lately. With that in mind, the bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals scored.
