Borussia Monchengladbach vs Werder Bremen Betting Tips

Borussia Monchengladbach managed to recover from a dismal start to the season and start to put together a string of results that illustrated why they managed to finish 3^rd in the Bundesliga last season.

However, after a 12 match unbeaten streak in all competitions Monchengladbach finally succumbed when Manchester City beat them in the Champions League.

Since then they have continued to decline, and they come into this match having won just one of their last six competitive matches.

All of Borussia Monchengladbach’s other five matches have been defeats. These losses have seen them crash out of both the Champions League and the DFB Pokal and begin a slide down the Bundesliga table.

They come into this match in 6^th position in the Bundesliga, five points adrift of the 3^rd place they managed to secure last season.

Werder Bremen are all the way down in 16^th position though, with two points separating them from the safety of 15^th place.

However, the struggling visitors have managed to come out of the Bundesliga winter break in a bit better form than they endured throughout most of the first half of the season.

Werder Bremen have won two, drawn two, and lost one of their last five competitive matches. They have only won one of their last four away days in the Bundesliga though, whilst Borussia Monchengladbach have won six of their last eight home matches in the league and lost only once.

Werder Bremen actually managed to win at Borussia Monchengladbach back in the middle of December, but I think the hosts can get some revenge on their visitors on Friday.

Their home form is actually very good in the Bundesliga, and when compared to Werder Bremen’s poor away record I think odds of 7/10 for a Borussia Monchengladbach win are very fair. A 2-1 victory looks likely to me as well, so I’m backing that at odds of 15/2.
