Stuttgart vs Borussia Monchengladbach Predictions

• At least four goals have been scored in three of Gladbach’s last five Bundesliga games
• The average number of goals in Gladbach’s Bundesliga games this year is 4.67

Stuttgart host basement club

Stuttgart host bottom-of-the-table Borussia Monchengladbach at the MHPArena on Friday, just a few days after a draining 1-1 Champions League draw with Atletico Madrid. Gladbach may be the Bundesliga’s only pointless team after six straight defeats, but there is some hope for them here.

Sebastian Hoeness’ side have been inconsistent, winning just two of six, and they lost both of their league games that followed European midweek, including a 1-0 reverse at Hamburg last weekend.

Stuttgart have scored in nine consecutive home league meetings with Gladbach and average two goals per home game this season. Gladbach, meanwhile, have conceded 20 goals in six matches—the worst defence in the division—and have shipped 10 goals on their travels.

Go for goals when Gladbach play

Alexander Blessin is still searching for his first point since replacing Eugen Polanski, and injuries have compounded the crisis, with several key players unavailable. However, Gladbach have scored eight league goals themselves, and their need to chase the game could open space for Stuttgart’s attacking players, including Josha Vagnoman.

History also points to goals with seven of the last eight league head-to-heads producing at least three goals. But it may be worth pushing the boat out here and taking a risk on over 3.5 goals. At least four goals have been scored in three of Gladbach’s last five Bundesliga game with the average number of goals in their Bundesliga games this year a staggering 4.67.
