Borussia Monchengladbach
Borussia Monchengladbach played a 1-1 draw against Mainz last week, again triggering their fans. They seem always to struggle when favorites and keep drowning in the bottom half of the Bundesliga.
They improved a bit recently, showing some brave performances and collecting seven points from four games, but the feeling is still like they are missing something extra to climb in the upper part of the Bundesliga table.
Borussia Monchengladbach also crashed out from the DFB Cup after losing 2-1 to Eintracht Frankfurt last Wednesday, so their only focus is now on the league. They haven’t had much luck against Werder Bremen in recent years, beating them only once in six games, losing twice, and drawing three matches. Interestingly, both their duels last season ended in 2-2 draws.
On a positive note, Borussia Monchengladbach has shown decent home form recently, winning their last two home games against Union Berlin (1-0) and Heidenheim (3-2).
Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen is sitting mid-table in the Bundesliga with a two-point advantage over Borussia Monchengladbach. They have remained unbeaten in four of the last six Bundesliga matches (three wins, one draw), so their overall form has been solid.
Werder Bremen did not perform particularly well in the German Cup, yet they won 0-1 away against SC Paderborn and progressed further.
Last week, Werder Bremen played a brave 2-2 draw against German champions Bayer Leverkusen. That was their fifth game from the last six that ended with at least three goals scored.
Interestingly, Werder Bremen is still unbeaten away in the Bundesliga, having drawn once and won each of their last three away matches against Mainz, TSG Hoffenheim, and Wolfsburg.
The Betting Verdict
This should be an open match between teams in the lower half of the Bundesliga table that struggle with poor defenses.
Borussia Monchengladbach has won twice in a row at home, but Werder Bremen is unbeaten in four on the road, so this should be an interesting match.
Both sides are unpredictable, so I would not touch a straight-win bet in this game and would rather go with over 2.5 goals to be scored.
