Borussia Monchengladbach vs Werder Bremen Predictions

Bundesliga leaders Borussia Monchengladbach are set to host struggling Werder Bremen this Sunday in the German Bundesliga. It will be a tough ask for Werder to end their six-game winless run this weekend versus in-form Borussia Monchengladbach. We feel this fixture is likely to deliver an entertaining and high-scoring contest. 

Neither of these two teams have been strangers to high-scoring fixtures this season. Monchengladbach currently sit at the top of the Bundesliga table after 10 games. However, they have their attacking quality to thank rather than their defensive quality for their current league positioning. 

Monchengladbach have kept just one clean sheet in their last six Bundesliga games. Furthermore, this clean sheet is also the only one they’ve kept in their last 11 games in all competitions. Monchengladbach have frequently been able to outscore their opponents this season. However, they are unlikely to keep a clean sheet this weekend. 

Werder Bremen have been involved in no shortage of high-scoring games in their own right of late. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 11 of Werder Bremen’s 12 competitive games this season. Furthermore, both teams have also gotten on the scoresheet in 11 of Werder’s 12 competitive fixtures. 

An open and attacking style of play has favoured Werder Bremen much less than Monchengladbach this season. They currently sit 12th in the Bundesliga table, just four points above the relegation zone. However, they have scored the most goals of any team outside the Bundesliga’s current top seven. 

Werder’s attacking quality has been clear for all to see this season. But their attacking system has left their defence in trouble at times. Werder have easily got the worst defensive record above the Bundesliga’s bottom four. They have conceded at least four more than any other team above the bottom four. 

Monchengladbach have been involved in plenty of high-scoring games in recent weeks. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Monchengladbach’s last four competitive games. There have also been over 2.5 goals scored in Monchengladbach’s last four Bundesliga home games. 

We are therefore backing both teams to score, as well as over 2.5 goals in this match. We feel Monchengladbach have a good chance of nicking what is likely to be an entertaining and closely contested match this Sunday. Werder have failed to win their last six Bundesliga games. Meanwhile, Monchengladbach’s impressive recent form has given them six wins in their last seven Bundesliga games. 

Monchengladbach have scored at least two goals in five of their last six Bundesliga games. Similarly, Werder have scored at least two goals in each of their last five Bundesliga away games. No Bundesliga team has scored more goals than Monchengladbach over the last six games. We feel they are likely to outscore Werder Bremen this weekend, so a 3-2 win for Monchengladbach is our likely outcome in this one.
