A Sports Betting Pick by Niko
Football ; Germany : Bundesliga
Borussia Park – Monchengladbach
Tuesday, 18th December 2018 - kickoff 18:30 CET
Borussia Monchengladbach
Borussia Monchengladbach earned valuable point in the dull goalless draw against TSG Hoffenheim last weekend. That game lacked intensity and passion so the draw was the fairest result.
Now Borussia Monchengladbach are back at their stadium where they have been outstanding since the start of the season. Amazing fact is that they have won all of their 7 home matches this season with a goal difference of 21:3. They are big favorites to finish with a perfect home record this year, because this is their last home game in 2018 before visiting top team of Borussia Dortmund next weekend in the last match before winter break.
Borussia Monchengladbach are playing very dominant football at home and this match should be no exception. Another amazing fact is that Borussia Monchengladbach have scored two or more goals in each of their last 12 home games. All of their last six home games have been entertaining games, ending with at least three goals scored.
Nurnberg
It looks like Nurnberg will have very tough time saving their Bundesliga status this season. They are playing awful football at the moment, losing in 4 of their last 5 games. They were completely outplayed in most of their recent games, including in their last home match against Wolfsburg which they lost with 0-2 last Friday.
Luckily for Nurnberg, most of the other teams that battle against relegation are also dropping points so nothing is lost yet for them. However, they will need a significant improvement in the second part of the season because so far they have managed just 2 wins in 15 games.
Regarding away performances, Nurnberg are the worst away team in the Bundesliga this season. They did not manage to record a single away win so far, drawing just twice and losing five times both at half-time and full time.
The Betting Verdict
The perfect home team with 7 straight wins awaits the worst away team without away victory since the start of the season. That clearly points who are the big favorite here.
Anything other than a clear home victory would be a major shock, so I recommend backing Borussia Monchengladbach to win both at half-time and full time.
