Bundesliga Round 18, 22/01/21, Borussia-Park (Mönchengladbach), 19:30 GMT
Playing their 3rd match in 7 days in a very condensed Bundesliga season, B Monchengladbach will play at home against B.Dortmund.Gladbach is 7th with 28 points after beating Werder Bremen 1-0 on Tuesday and Dortmund is 4th after losing in Leverkusen 2-1.
Borussia Monchengladbach
After their amazing comeback and win against champions Bayern Munich 3 rounds ago, manager Marco Rose’s team continued their good run in their last 4 matches without losing any of them and winning in 3. They scored 7 goals in those 4 matches and conceded 4 goals. Gladbach hasn’t lost in 2 of their previous home games. But the main concern for their fans will be that they haven’t beaten Dortmund in 11 matches.
Borussia Dortmund
The BVB are not in a good form in their last 2 games. After a disappointing draw at home to Mainz last Saturday where they could have easily won, they lost on Tuesday in Leverkusen 2-1. They still kept their 4th place but they can’t afford any further slip on Friday if they lose. All teams from 9th to 2nd play each other in round 18 this weekend meaning any loss for Dortmund and they can end up losing 3 or 4 places. Looking into Dortmund’s latest stats we can see that they have scored in every one of their last 6 matches scoring 10 goals in total. They haven’t lost away to Monchengladbach in their last 5 visits
Verdict
We think both teams have the potential to score in this match although different tactics may be used for that matter.
Verdict: Both teams to score.
