On Saturday afternoon, Monchengladbach and Hoffenheim clash at Borussia Park in what could be a thrilling Bundesliga encounter.
Monchengladbach form guideThe Foals saw a three-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga ended by a 4-2 defeat at Dortmund. The defeat was particularly disappointing as Gladbach held a first-half two-goal lead.
The game against BVB followed a high-scoring trend for Monchengladbach games of late in the Bundesliga, as their previous seven outings in the German top-flight have now produced over 2.5 goals.
Gerardo Seoane’s team has been prolific in front of goal in those recent high-scoring games, finding the net at least twice in their last four league matches.
The Foals have at least shown some promising signs of form at Borussia Park lately, as they are unbeaten in three matches on home soil, having recorded two wins and a draw while scoring at least two goals in their previous three home games.
Hoffenheim form guideThe side from Sinsheim is currently in sixth place in the Bundesliga table despite a poor recent run of league form consisting of two draws and a defeat in their last three league games.
A 1-1 home draw with Mainz last time out in the league means that they have won just one of their previous five matches in the Bundesliga.
The visitor's recent Bundesliga games have certainly been goal-filled, with nine of their previous 12 games producing over 2.5 goals.
Hoffenheim have been excellent on the road of late in the German top-flight, as they are unbeaten in their previous seven games, having recorded five wins and two draws.
Their attacking prowess has been the key factor in the good away form, as they have scored at least two goals in five of their previous six Bundesliga games on their travels.
What am I backing?While neither team has been in especially convincing league form in recent weeks, their games have mostly been high-scoring. I can see this game following that pattern, so the bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals scored.
