Borussia Monchengladbach
Borussia Monchengladbach hit rock bottom last week. Their mind-boggling 4-6 home defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt, with them losing 0-5 at half-time, left many speechless.
This is a horrible start to the season, and many fear that they will battle against the drop this season. So far, they have lost three and drawn two of their five Bundesliga games, conceding 12 goals.
It has been a turbulent few weeks for them. First, they sacked head coach Gerardo Seoane and replaced him with Eugen Polanski, who is also under fire and may go away soon.
Then, their long-serving managing director resigned last week, and there is a power battle within the club. That doesn’t look good at the moment, and another defeat would pile up even more pressure on everyone in the club.
Borussia Monchengladbach’s dismal series now stretches to 12 straight games without a victory.
At home, they managed a meagre one point so far (in the goalless draw against Hamburger SV), losing their other two home games against Werder Bremen (0-4) and Eintracht Frankfurt (4-6).
SC Freiburg
SC Freiburg opened the season with defeats to Augsburg and Koln, but significantly improved since. They won back-to-back against VfB Stuttgart and Werder Bremen, before drawing 1-1 against TSG Hoffenheim last week.
They also secured a point in the 1-1 away draw at Bologna last Thursday in the UEFA Europa League, so they are in good form and with good spirits heading into this game.
Some player rotation is possible from the midweek game, but luckily, no one got injured, so their lineup would be almost the same.
The Betting Verdict
SC Freiburg has an excellent recent Bundesliga record against Borussia Monchengladbach, going unbeaten in 7 straight duels. They have drawn four and won all of the last three against them.
Borussia Monchengladbach is in shambles. Internal problems, 10 goals conceded in their last two home games, and nailed at the bottom, do not give many reasons to back them.
SC Freiburg improved and remained unbeaten in four consecutive competitive games leading up to this match, and I think they will continue that streak.
For a safer bet, I recommend going with SC Freiburg to win or draw this match.
