Borussia Mönchengladbach
Borussia Mönchengladbach are sliding into uncomfortable territory. The 2-1 defeat away to SC Freiburg last week made it back-to-back losses and stretched their winless run to seven Bundesliga matches.
With only a two-point cushion above the relegation zone and a daunting trip to Bayern Munich coming up next, this home fixture suddenly feels huge.
Goals have been a major issue. Borussia Mönchengladbach have scored just 26 times in 23 Bundesliga rounds, their lowest return at this stage in nearly two decades, and they’ve managed only three goals in six matches since the winter break – fewer than any other side in the division over that period.
Union Berlin
Union Berlin comes to Mönchengladbach in good spirits after a morale-lifting 1-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen last week, where Rani Khedira’s goal ended a seven-game winless streak and lifted them to ninth.
They have 28 points after 23 Bundesliga matches, five more than at the same stage last season, though they are still 11 points shy of the European places.
Away form remains a concern, however, with no win in their last four Bundesliga trips, drawing two and losing two.
The Betting Verdict
With Borussia Mönchengladbach struggling badly for goals and Union Berlin generally pragmatic away from home, this has the feel of a tight, low-scoring contest.
I lean slightly more to Borussia Mönchengladbach, as they must step up and earn points, while Union Berlin are now calmer and look safe at mid-table.
It will likely be tight, but I think Borussia Monchengladbach will emerge as the winners.
