Borussia Monchengladbach vs Borussia Dortmund Predictions

Dortmund to grind it out in Gladbach

Borussia Dortmund are the best bet to win at Monchengladbach on Sunday. Niko Kovac’s side had a decisive victory in their last Bundesliga game and can follow up away at Eugen Polanski’s hosts.

The win/win double result landed in Borussia Dortmund’s last Bundesliga game, a 4-0 win over SC Freiburg, with Maximilian Beier scoring first in the eighth minute. Dortmund were 4/11 to win the game and comfortably obliged for favourite backers, recording their 15th win in the 20 matches in which they have been odds-on this season.

They are second in the Bundesliga, nine places and 35 points above Monchengladbach. Dortmund have won 20 of their 31 games this season, while Monchengladbach, who are 11th, have won seven.

The hosts’ attack has lacked cutting edge this season. Monchengladbach have only managed to score 19 goals at home in the league, an average of just 1.27 goals per game from their 15 home matches.

There’s a lot to like about Borussia Dortmund’s recent results. They have won four of their last six away games in the Bundesliga and have lost just one of their last eight meetings with Monchengladbach.

The hosts look vulnerable at the back. Monchengladbach have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last seven Bundesliga games and have conceded in four of their last six home matches.

Monchengladbach are enduring a rough spell at home, having failed to win six of their last seven Bundesliga games.

Borussia Dortmund can edge this, with a 1-0 correct score in favour of the visitors looking like a decent bet. Monchengladbach have played three Bundesliga games in a row with fewer than three goals, and it could be another tight game here.
