Borussia Monchengladbach vs Paderborn Predictions

• Gladbach are looking to bounce back following 2-1 defeats at the hands of Istanbul Basaksehir and Wolfsburg last week.
• Paderborn are hoping to go three games unbeaten in the Bundesliga on Wednesday night.
• A win for the visitors could lift them off the bottom of the table.
• Gladbach could go top of the pile with  3pts of their own on Wednesday.

Gladbach will be confident of returning to winning ways

Gladbach have won their last three competitive matches against Paderborn and both teams scored in three of the pairs’ last four competitive encounters but the pair haven’t locked horns since 2015. The hosts have won three of their last six matches in all competitions while the visitors have lost three of their last six matches in the Bundesliga, so you can begin to see why we have backed a home win on Wednesday.

Both teams scored in Gladbach’s and three of Paderborn’s last four matches and the hosts have won six of their eight home games this season while the visitors have lost four of their seven away games. Gladbach average 2.38 points per home game and Paderborn average 0.71 points per away game, adding further weight to our prediction for a home win this Wednesday.

Gladbach score an average of 2.63 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.38 goals and Paderborn score an average of 1.14 goals per away game and concede an average of 2.14 goals, which we believe ties in well with our prediction for a 3-1 final scoreline on Wednesday.

Paderborn are the only side in the Bundesliga yet to see their points tally hit double figures

Gladbach’s home games produce an average of 4.00 total goals and 62% of the host’s home games have produced over 3.5 goals. Both teams scored in 88% of Gladbach’s home games as well as in 57% of Paderborn’s away games this season. Gladbach have only kept clean sheets in 12% of their home games so far and 25% of the host’s home games have produced exactly 4 goals, with a majority of their wins this season (6 wins) being obtained by a margin of 2 goals or more.

We’re confident that Gladbach will win and both teams will score in the process and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-1. The hosts head into the match as the clear form favourites, sitting second in the table, and with a good record against their guests, while Paderborn sit rock bottom and have lost the majority of their league games this season.
