On Saturday afternoon, Monchengladbach hosts RB Leipzig at Borussia Park in the Bundesliga as the visitors look to continue their good recent form.
Monchengladbach form guideThe Foals are winless in their opening four matches in the Bundesliga, having claimed just two draws and suffered two losses. Last time out, Gladbach came back from three goals down to draw 3-3 at 10-man Darmstadt. The game saw Gerardo Seoane’s team concede at least two goals for the fourth straight match in the Bundesliga.
Their poor start to the Bundesliga campaign has the Foals just a point clear of both the relegation play-off spot and automatic relegation berths Monchengladbach has a mixed recent home record in the German top flight.
However, the Foals have suffered back-to-back home defeats against Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich. Their recent home matches in the Bundesliga have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight games.
RB Leipzig form guideDie Roten Bullen’s good form continued last time out, as Marco Rose’s team recorded a 3-1 midweek win over Young Boys in the Champions League. The game against the Swiss team saw Leipzig score at least three goals for the fourth straight victory in all competitions.
That recent stellar run of form includes three straight league wins, in each of which Leipzig has scored at least three goals.
RB Leipzig’s away form in the Bundesliga has been strong, as they have won three of their last four outings on their travels in the German top flight.
Rose’s team has also been prolific of late on their travels, scoring at least two goals in each of their last three away games in the league.
What am I backing?RB Leipzig has been in sparkling form this season, and I am backing Die Roten Bullen to continue their recent good run in this clash.
