Wolfsberger vs Borussia Monchengladbach Predictions

Things are wide open in Group J with just three points separating top from bottom as both Roma and Monchengladbach perform below expectations. A win here for either side would give them a big advantage going into the final matchweek and a loss would likely match qualification very unlikely for either team. 

Wolfsberger are the team at the bottom and two losses from their last two games has really set them back after a promising start. Their opening two results saw them pick up a commanding 4-0 win in the reverse of this fixture before holding Roma to a 1-1 draw but two losses to Baseksehir have really hurt the team’s chance of qualifying. 

Borussia Monchengladbach have been the opposite, putting that 4-0 loss behind them quickly to pick up draws in Rome and Istanbul before beating their Italian opponents at home in matchweek four. They’ve looked a lot more confident and should be considered favourites coming into this match although, with only four goals scored, they need to be more ruthless in front of goal. 

We’re backing Monchengladbach to end Wolfsberger’s chances of qualification here and at a price of 4/5 should be looking at almost doubling our money. The Austrians have looked bereft of confidence in their last two games and with Monchengladbach growing stature, an away win looks to be a good bet in this one. 

It won’t all be one way traffic though and Wolfsberger have enough about them to get on the scoresheet and cause the visitors some problems. Ultimately it should be Monchengladbach who come away with all three points however and we’re predicting a 2-1 win for the Germans as they look to qualify for the round of 32.
