Two teams struggling for form in the Bundesliga, Monchengladbach and Darmstadt, go head-to-head at Borussia Park as both teams look to get back to winning ways.
Monchengladbach looking to get back on trackThe Foals have hit a bump in the road form-wise of late in the Bundesliga, as a 3-1 defeat at reigning German champions Bayern Munich last time out means they have won just one of their last seven Bundesliga matches.
The defeat in Bavaria continued a run of high-scoring games for Gladbach in the Bundesliga, as 14 of their last 15 league outings.
Gerardo Seoane’s team had a decent recent home record until a shock 2-1 home defeat by Augsburg last time out in the top-flight ended an unbeaten run on home soil of six games in the Bundesliga.
Monchengladbach have had an eye for goal of late at Borussia Park, scoring at least two goals in six of their last seven league games.
Darmstadt need to arrest their worrying formThe visitors are in big trouble at the bottom of the Bundesliga, as they are currently in 18th place in the standings and seven points adrift of the safety of 15th Union Berlin.
A 2-0 home defeat by league leaders Bayer Leverkusen last time out in the Bundesliga means that Tobias Lieberknecht’s team has failed to win in their previous 13 league games.
The poor league run includes three defeats in their last four matches in the Bundesliga. One of the visitor’s main weaknesses of late has been scoring goals, as they have failed to score in three of their last four league outings.
Unsurprisingly, considering their perilous situation, Darmstadt’s recent away form in the Bundesliga has been poor, as they are winless in five league games on their travels.
Their recent away games in the German top flight have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in six of their previous eight outings.
What am I backing?I believe that the Foals will get back to winning ways in a high-scoring encounter.
