Predictions & Statistics

Borussia Mönchengladbach sit 14 with 30 points after 29 matches and remain under pressure to produce steadier results. Across the season they have posted 7 wins, 9 draws, and 13 defeats, and the 35:49 goal record continues to suggest poor form over their recent run. Their attacking burden often falls on H. Tabakovic (11 goals), Kevin Diks (4 goals), J. Castrop (3 goals), with creative support from F. Honorat (6 assists), Joseph Scally (3 assists), L. Netz (3 assists), while at the back they have been quite vulnerable. At home, they have returned 4 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses, which indicates a balanced but draw-heavy split record. They are operating from a relatively stable mid-table position. Stylistically, they tend to play with a more cautious and defensive approach. They are not at full strength, with T. Kleindienst unavailable, although the overall attacking core still looks largely intact.

Amiri (2 assists), while at the back they have looked quite vulnerable. Away from home, the record of 4 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses points toward a fairly balanced split record.
