Darmstadt 98 vs Borussia M'gladbach Betting Tips and Predictions

Borussia M’gladbach haven’t been as successful away from home as they would have hoped for this season, but they managed to take away a point from the Allianz Arena with a solid 1-1 performance against Bayern Munich in their last match on the road. M’gladbach have rebounded back into form, after a recent run of two consecutive losses, taking seven points from their last three matches (W2 D1) and beating the most in-form side in the Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen, 2-1 at home last Saturday. M’gladbach have all but secured themselves a fourth place finish and the last available UEFA Champions League qualification spot as they stand three points above Mainz 05, Hertha Berlin and Schalke 05 with only one match remaining and a mathematically improbable goal difference for the trailers to overcome.

Darmstadt 98 had gone a club-record six games unbeaten in the Bundesliga (W2 D4) before their back-to-back defeats against FC Koln and Eintracht Frankfurt in the past weeks. Darmstadt had fallen right back into the thick of the relegation fight, having avoided the relegation zone for their entire season in the top flight, but with an unlikely 2-1 win away to Hertha Berlin last Saturday they secured themselves another year in the Bundesliga. Darmstadt 98 have achieved their target for the season and play just for pride when they host the in-form Borussia M’gladbach.

Borussia M’gladbach may have one of the worst away forms in the Bundesliga (W3 D3 L10), but Darmstadt 98 have the “honour” of worst home form in the league (W2 D6 L8). Both teams are, however, in decent scoring form; Borussia M’gladbach have scored an average of 2 goals per game in their last three and Darmstadt have scored an average of 1.3 goals per game over the same period. With Darmstadt 98 having secured another season in the top flight and missing their star striker Sandro Wagner due to suspension, Borussia M’gladbach are the favourites in this match and should see this match as a decent opportunity to close off their season with a win and confirm their place in the Champions League for the next campaign. Combining this analysis with the statistics below, we expect Borussia M’gladbach to prove the doubters wrong and turn around their away form with a win against a weakened Darmstadt 98 line up. Both teams have scored in all three of M’gladbach’s wins on the road this season and hence, Borussia M’gladbach or draw and both teams to score seems the safe bet. Borussia M’gladbach to win 2-1 at 15/2, meanwhile, seems a top value correct score bet for this match.
