Borussia Monchengladbach vs Freiburg Live Stats & Betting Odds
Borussia Monchengladbach Preview – Can Gladbach bounce back from defeat in Berlin last weekend to remain top at the end of this weekend?
With RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich both a point behind and playing on Saturday, it’s likely at least one of them will overtake Gladbach at the top of the Bundesliga. That puts pressure on the club who have been so impressive of late but have shown some vulnerability when away from home. Defeat to Union Berlin last weekend was their second defeat in three away games in the league and it means they are now only one point clear of the chasing pack. It’s a completely different story at home, though, where they have been excellent. It’s five wins in a row at Borussia Park in all competitions, four of which have been in the league. They have scored 14 goals in those four matches but also conceding in each of those.
Freiburg Preview – Will Freiburg get an unusual away win in this fixture to go level on points with Gladbach?
Freiburg continue to go about their business in very impressive fashion. With some of the top teams under-performing in the early stages of the season (and some continuing to do so) Freiburg have taken advantage of that to sit in and around the Champions League positions. Only Schalke’s win on Friday pushes them out the top four going into Sunday’s game but they are still very much in the hunt and there’s no reason to think why they cannot continue being involved in the European places, at the very least.
They head to Gladbach this weekend unbeaten in their last four (two wins and two draws) knowing a win would put them level on points and possibly ahead of their opponents depending on the margin of victory. Playing away from home will hold no fear for Freiburg either as they have lost only once on their travels this season. Somewhat ironically, that only away loss came against the same team that defeated Gladbach last week, Union Berlin.
Key-Facts – Borussia Monchengladbach vs Freiburg
- Defeat to Union Berlin last week has brought Gladbach pack to the chasing pack and they need to return to winning ways here
- Freiburg come into this game unbeaten in their last four league games and could go level on points with their opponents should they win
- The last six contests between these have went the way of the home side and the last away win in the fixture came back in 2008
Borussia Monchengladbach vs Freiburg Betting Advice
This a meeting of two of the most impressive and consistent teams of the Bundesliga season so far. Gladbach have been setting the pace for a couple of months now but the gap between them and the rest is narrowing. For Freiburg they will be looking to continue their very strong away form and ensure they keep pace with the others competing for a top four finish. This fixture has favoured the home team with the last six all going the way of the hosts. It’s not since 2008 that a visiting team has won which was when the two were in the 2.Bundesliga.
