On Saturday evening, RB Leipzig and Monchengladbach go head-to-head at the Red Bull Arena as the home team looks to get their top-four bid back on track in the Bundesliga.
RB Leipzig’s top-four bid hit by poor recent formDie Roten Bullen continued a poor recent run of form in the midweek Champions League games, as they went down to a 1-0 home defeat against Spanish giants Real Madrid.
The defeat means that Leipzig has won just one of their last seven games in all competitions, a record that includes winning just once in their last six Bundesliga games.
Their recent questionable results have seen Marco Rose’s team fall three points adrift of the Champions League places.
Despite their recent poor run, RB Leipzig have won five of their last seven Bundesliga games at the Red Bull Arena while also scoring at least two goals in six of the games in the seven-game run.
The Foals are in danger of being sucked into the bottom threeThe visitor’s recent form in the German top-flight has been concerning, as a 0-0 home draw against struggling Darmstadt last time out means Gladbach has failed to win in four outings in the Bundesliga.
Gerardo Seoane’s team has slipped to 13th place in the table, just six points clear of the league’s bottom three. They need to start to pick up wins or become involved in the fight for survival.
Winning games on their travels in the Bundesliga has been a big problem for the Foals, as they have failed to win in their previous seven away games, having suffered five defeats.
Conceding too many goals has been Monchengladbach’s main issue of late on the road, as they have conceded at least two goals in six of their last seven away games in the Bundesliga.
What am I backing?RB Leipzig has not been in great form of late, but they are decent on home soil, and the visitors are poor away from home. The bet I am backing is the home win.
