Borussia Monchengladbach vs Schalke Predictions

• Borussia Monchengladbach have scored 12 goals in four home league games against bottom-six opponents.
  
• Schalke are winless in their last 36 Bundesliga away games, an all-time record.
• All but one of Gladbach’s league wins this season came with multi-goal margins.

A seemingly simple task for the Foals

Borussia Monchengladbach had no domestic cup duties to speak of during the last week, so they’ve enjoyed a fair amount of preparation time since their stunning 4-1 victory away to Hoffenheim in the previous round.

That victory ensured that six of their seven league wins came with -1 handicap-busting scorelines, and they’ll be eyeing yet another one of those here against rock-bottom Schalke.

The Foals may be without their long-time #1 Yann Sommer following the winter transfer window, and his replacement Jonas Omlin is yet to keep a clean sheet. This seems like the perfect opportunity to grab his first as Schalke have failed to score in a league-high eight games!

The Royal Blues are feeling just that

Schalke will hope that they can extend Gladbach’s run of games without a clean sheet to 12, and more importantly end their own 36-game winless run of Bundesliga away games.

Their latest road defeat at Frankfurt ensured that Schalke hold the outright record amongst all Bundesliga teams, probably much to the delight of Karlsruher who no longer hold that unwanted accolade.

No side has escaped relegation after such a poor showing at this stage and we believe this season will be no different for Schalke. In this game in particular, we’re going for a straightforward -1 selection on Gladbach in the handicap market, along with a rather comfortable 3-1 in the correct score market.
