Borussia Monchengladbach vs TSG Hoffenheim Predictions

Both sides look vulnerable

Goals are on the cards when Monchengladbach host Hoffenheim at Borussia-Park on Sunday. Back over 3.5 goals – Hoffenheim have scored in 13 of their last 15 league games.

Hoffenheim are one place above Monchengladbach at the bottom of the table, but the two sides are separated by just three points. The hosts have yet to register a win after five games, while Hoffenheim have one victory.

It’s a difficult time for Monchengladbach, who have lost six of their last seven Bundesliga matches, while Hoffenheim are also in poor form, with two defeats in succession and no wins in their last three away games.

Hoffenheim threw away a late lead to lose 3-2 to Hamburg in their last Bundesliga game, keeping up a recent trend of games with over 3.5 goals. It was a surprise defeat for Hoffenheim, who were priced at 2/5 to win, and means they have failed to win either of the two games in which they have been odds-on this season. They have now lost four of the five games in which they’ve shipped the first goal (80%).

The hosts have been leaking goals this season. Monchengladbach have conceded at least twice in all five of their Bundesliga games, no team has shipped more goals in the league this season than the 18 goals they have conceded.

Hoffenheim’s last three Bundesliga away games have all produced over 3.5 goals and nine of their 17 on the road last season ended with four goals or more. Seven of the last nine clashes between this pair have had four goals or more.

There should be goals at both ends in this one, with 2-2 appealing as a correct-score pick. Twelve of Hoffenheim’s last 15 Bundesliga games have ended with both sides scoring.
