Fortuna Dusseldorf vs Borussia Monchengladbach Predictions

• Five of Borussia Monchengladbach’s last nine Bundesliga away games have seen under 2.5 goals scored.
• Five of Fortuna Dusseldorf’s last nine Bundesliga away games have seen under 2.5 goals scored.
• Fortuna Dusseldorf have scored under 1.5 goals in nine of their last 10 Bundesliga games.
• Borussia Monchengladbach have scored under 1.5 goals in six of their last nine Bundesliga away games.

Fortuna Dusseldorf have struggled to find wins lately

Fortuna Dusseldorf will host Borussia Monchengladbach this Saturday in German Bundesliga action. Fourth-placed Monchengladbach will hope to earn three points this weekend as they look to close the gap to Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich. The visitors will be encouraged by hosts Fortuna’s recent poor run of form. 

Fortuna have struggled to find wins in recent weeks. They have won just one of their last 11 Bundesliga fixtures going into Saturday’s game. Furthermore, over the last six games, Fortuna have earned just five Bundesliga points. Only Werder Bremen have earned fewer points than Fortuna in that time. 

Fortuna have also won just three of their 10 Bundesliga home games this season. They will likely struggle to beat a strong Monchengladbach side this Saturday. 

Borussia Monchengladbach’s poor away form

One positive for Fortuna going into this weekend’s game is that their opponents, Borussia Monchengladbach have been enduring a poor run of form away from home in recent weeks. 

Die Fohlen have won just four of their 10 Bundesliga away games this season. Furthermore, Monchengladbach are currently winless in each of their last five Bundesliga away games. They have won just one of their last seven Bundesliga away games going into Saturday’s fixture. 

Monchengladbach have also earned just two wins in their last six Bundesliga fixtures. Their recent form suggests that they may find life difficult away to Fortuna this weekend. 

This fixture may deliver a low scoring game

Saturday’s hosts Fortuna Dusseldorf will take the Bundesliga’s worst goalscoring record into Saturday’s contest. They have scored just 20 goals in 21 Bundesliga games this season. This is at least five goals fewer than any other Bundesliga side at present. They have scored just nine goals in their 10 Bundesliga home games this season. 

Fortuna have scored under 1.5 goals in nine of their last 10 Bundesliga fixtures. They have also scored under 1.5 goals in eight of their 10 Bundesliga home games this season. 

This goalscoring record doesn’t bode well for them going into a game versus a Monchengladbach side who have been strong defensively this season. Monchengladbach have currently got the Bundesliga’s joint-best defensive record. They have conceded just 23 goals in their 20 Bundesliga fixtures. 

However, Monchengladbach have also found life difficult in front of goal this season away from home. They have scored under 1.5 goals in six of their last nine Bundesliga away games. Meanwhile, Fortuna have conceded exactly one goal in four of their last five Bundesliga fixtures. 

We feel that this game is unlikely to deliver too many goals. We are backing under 2.5 goals to be scored here. We also feel that recent form doesn’t paint either of these two sides in a favourable light ahead of this fixture. We are also backing a 1-1 draw in Saturday’s game.
