Monchengladbach vs Hoffenheim: Preview and Prediction

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Hoffenheim
German Bundesliga
Date: Saturday 26th November, 2016
Kick-off: 14:30 UK
Venue: Stadion im BORUSSIA-PARK, Monchengladbach.

Can Hoffenheim stay undefeated after the 12th round in Bundesliga? The team led by Julian Nagelsmann survived the visit to Allianz Arena two weeks ago when they managed to hold the defending champions to a 1-1 draw. However, the visit to BORUSSIA-PARK will represent yet another super tough challenge, in spite of the poor form the hosts showed over the last couple of weeks.

Hoffenheim are currently enjoying the 5th position in a very strange season of Bundesliga where teams like RB Leipzig, Koln, Hertha BSC and Hoffenheim are in the top part of the league standings together with Bayern Munich.

Borussia Monchengladbach have had a pretty tough schedule over the last couple of weeks as they had to face the mentioned teams, losing to both Hertha and Koln. Andre Schubert can be happy with his team’s performance in Champions League match against Manchester City though, as Gladbach will enter the game with Hoffenheim full of confidence after holding the Citizens to a 1-1 draw in midweek.

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Hoffenheim: Head-to-Head Stats

Interestingly, Hoffenheim have been the more successful side ahead of the teams’ 20th head to head encounter. However, we must mention that each of the last six games between the two sides offered true goal fests with the options of both teams netting and Over 2.5 goals. Gladbach were better in the last couple of matches winning three out of last four games. The last match won by Hoffenheim was back in September 2013.

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Hoffenheim: Prediction

The bookmakers believe that the time has come for Hoffenheim to finally lose a Bundesliga match, offering 1/1 odds on Gladbach to clinch three points on home ground. However, we will go with Over 2.5 goals as the number one betting pick since both teams are playing attacking football, and we would be extremely surprised to see the end to the high scoring games streak in their head to head encounters!
