Dusseldorf vs Borussia Monchengladbach

In the continuation of the 27th week of the Bundesliga, Borussia Moenchengladbach will travel to Fortuna Dusseldorf headquarters. Gladbach are required to win if they do not want to lose their position in the top 4.

Monchengladbach’s position at rank 4 is indeed far from safe. With a collection of 47 points they currently have Gladbach only 1 point ahead of Frankfurt in fifth place. This is what forces Gladbach to win at Dusseldorf later on considering that if it fails and in other places Frankfurt is able to pick perfect points in the match against Stuttgart then Gladbach are certain to exit the Champions League zone.

The match at Spiel-Arena Merkur will certainly not be easy for Gladbach. One of the biggest obstacles that Gladbach might face is a matter of consistency. Noted, Gladbach only managed to win 2 wins and also suffered 2 defeats in the last 5 games in the Bundesliga.

In addition, Gladbach also have players whose conditions are doubtful to appear in this match. Florian Mayer and Ibrahima Traore have been ruled out with injuries. While Louis Jordan Beyer is still in doubt and is likely to miss this match.

Luckily, the host’s condition was also bad. Dusseldorf suffered 2 defeats in their last two matches before the last international break. In fact, in those 2 matches they had to concede 8 goals and only be able to score just two goals.

In addition to the matter of self-confidence, Dusseldorf will also be without several players in this match. Jaroslav Drobny and Jean Summer are certainly ruled out due to injury. While Dodi Lukebakio also had to be absent due to suspension. Alfredo Morales, Davor Lovren, Marcel Sobottka, Aymen Barkok, Emir Kujovic, Marcin Kaminski and Raphael Wolf are still in the recovery stage of the injury and the conditions are still doubtful to be able to go down.

Our Prediction: Over 2.5

Odds: 1.82
