On Sunday afternoon, Hertha Berlin will look to boost their survival chances when they welcome Monchengladbach to the Olympiastadion.
Hertha Berlin form guideThe club from the German capital finds itself in a fight to preserve its Bundesliga status. Hertha is in 17th place in the table and five points from the safety of 15th place in the German top-flight table.
Last time out, Stefan Schwarz’s team suffered a fourth straight league defeat in the Bundesliga, losing 3-0 at Eintracht Frankfurt. The game also saw Hertha concede at least two goals for the fourth consecutive league game.
Hertha has struggled to pick up points on home soil, as they have won just two of their last 11 home matches in the Bundesliga while suffering defeat in three of their previous four games.
Monchengladbach form guideThe Foals' recent Bundesliga form could not have been any more inconsistent, as they head to Berlin on the back of two wins, two defeats and one draw in their previous five matches in the German top flight.
Gladbach’s recent league form has seen the visitors fall eight points off the European spots while also being eight points clear of the relegation play-off spot in the Bundesliga.
The Foals ended a five-game winless run on their travels in their last away game in the Bundesliga, recording a 4-1 victory over Hoffenheim. The game was another high-scoring game for the Monchengladbach on their travels, as five of their previous six away games in the league have produced over 2.5 goals.
Latest team newsHertha Berlin will be without Kelian Nsona, Chidera Ejuke and Peter Pekarik due to various injuries. Stevan Jovetic, Agustin Rogel, Wilfried Kanga and Marvin Plattenhardt are also fitness doubts.
Monchengladbach’s only likely absentee is suspended German international midfielder, Julian Weigl.
What am I backing?Monchengladbach has won their last two meetings with Hertha Berlin. I am backing the Foals to record another victory in this clash.
