SV Darmstadt vs Borussia Monchengladbach Predictions

• Darmstadt have conceded 22 times across their last eight matches
• Gladbach have scored twice across each of their last four away trips
• The hosts have conceded 13 goals in four matches this term

Momentum not there for Darmstadt

While newly promoted sides tend to be out of their depth once they reach the top flight, they do tend to come up with some momentum and optimism behind them.

However, that’s not the case for a Darmstadt side who have lost seven of their last eight competitive games. They tailed off towards the end of the previous campaign and a tough start to this Bundesliga season means that across their last eight, they’ve scored four times and conceded a huge 22 in return.

The hosts have been thumped by Union Berlin and Bayer Leverkusen in recent weeks, going down 4-1 at home before a 5-1 defeat on the road. That poor return offers a great opportunity to Borussia Monchengladbach, who need points on the board.

Visitors to push forward

Gladbach have been beaten in their last two games, suffering defeats to Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich. Their defeat to Bayern saw them put up a real fight in a 2-1 loss, which gives them something to build off on Sunday.

The visitors opened their campaign with a 7-0 win at Bersenbruck before they drew 4-4 in an incredible clash with Augsburg. While they only have a point on the board so far, Gladbach should revel against a Darmsstadt side which has conceded 13 goals already this term.

The hosts are struggling to keep clean sheets, so look to the value available on Gladbach to score two or more, something they’ve managed in each of their last four away trips.
