Borussia M'gladbach vs FC Cologne Betting Tips and Predictions

Borussia Mönchengladbach are having a strange season having lost the opening 5 games, followed by an unbeaten run of 10 games (8 wins and 2 draws). Their form since has been very inconsistent, winning only 2 and losing 4, leaving them in 7th place in the table just 1 spot away from automatic entry into the Europa league group stages.

Cologne have only lost 2 in the last 10 games under the guidance of new manager Andre Schubert since November and a win against their North Rhine-Westphalian rivals would see them do the double and draw them level with M’gladbach on 32 points.

REASON FOR BETTING TIPS

Cologne have drawn their last four away games (3 results of 1-1 and 1 result 0-0). They have not been beaten on the road since losing to Bayern Munich in October and a 5th consecutive away draw would be a new club record.  Borussia M’gladbach have a pretty good home record but with Cologne having taken away at least a point from the last 5 (including a win away to Bayer Leverkusen and a 1-1 draw against Wolfsburg) they will be determined to keep the away form going. With Borussia M’gladbach’s season long inconsistency and a determined Cologne side looking to keep their unbeaten away streak going, 1-1 at 6-1 sounds a likely outcome to this derby clash.
