Borussia Monchengladbach vs Werder Bremen Predictions

• There have been at least four goals scored in each of the last seven Bundesliga meetings between these sides.
• Gladbach won both league clashes last season.
• Over 3.5 goals has landed in both of Werder Bremen’s Bundesliga clashes.

Gladbach and Bremen looking to kickstart seasons

Borussia Monchengladbach and Werder Bremen have both endured disappointing starts to the new season ahead of their meeting on Sunday.

Gladbach started the new term with a cup win over fifth tier Delmenhorst but have picked up just one point from two games in the league.

Bremen are out of the DfB Pokal and also have just one point on the board, although they should draw some confidence from a 3-3 draw at Bayer Leverkusen last time out despite playing with 10 men for most of the second half.

Goals the best angle

Gladbach may be yet to score in the league but games between these two sides tend to be entertaining. Over 3.5 goals has landed in each of the last seven league clashes between these sides and there have been at least five goals scored in both of Bremen’s league games – they’ve shipped seven themselves in two games – so backing over 3.5 goals looks a decent starting point here.

Gladbach won both league meetings last term and have dominated the recent head-to-head games with four wins in the last seven games, losing just once. Gerardo Seoane’s men were held to a 0-0 draw by Hamburg in their only home game so far but on the balance of play they were perhaps unlucky and they can edge out Bremen here, with a 3-2 win on the home side the pick.

Haris Tabakovic looked sharp without scoring against Hamburg and then sat out the defeat to Stuttgart due to illness. The Bosnian should come back into the Gladbach starting side on Sunday and he can open his account for the club after joining on loan over the summer.
