Bielefeld Draw No Bet
The hosts are hard to fault right now. They’ve been delivering strong performances and getting results, which is more than can be said for the visitors, who are struggling immensely to keep teams at bay. Three clean sheets in their last five games points towards a side that can grind it out, while Gladbach can’t keep a clean sheet for love nor money at present. Given the way the teams have been performing, the hosts deserve more respect in the betting, and thus the early odds available on ‘Bielefeld Draw No Bet’ are worth taking advantage of.
Bielefeld to Score Over 1.5 goals
The hosts have scored their fair share of goals in recent weeks, scoring two or more in each of their last five, as well as in three of their last four at home. This match against a gladbach outfit that continues be all over the place defensively, surrendering two or more goals in each of their last three, as well as in seven of their last nine, represents a massive opportunity for the hosts to continue banging them in.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Bielefeld vs Monchengladbach
Having gone two games without a win, it looked as though Bielefeld were on the slide, but they rallied superbly last weekend to ensure that their unbeaten run didn’t come to an end. After securing a fine away win, Saturday’s hosts ought to come into this fixture in high spirits, especially as they’re going up against a Gladbach side that is well and truly out of sorts.
Wins in front of their own fans have been few and far between, though that’s not to say that the hosts are easy to get the better of at home. Only three teams have left Schuco Arena with all three points this season, and all three of those teams currently reside comfortably above Gladbach in the table. Michael Frontzeck’s men are currently unbeaten in four on their own patch.
In stark contrast, the visitors come here in poor shape. They’ve lost four on the spin in all competitions, with the recent low point being their heavy DFB Pokal defeat to second-tier Hannover. Eight goals conceded in four matches signals a side that is struggling to keep teams at bay, that’s for sure.
Defensive insoldity really is plaguing Gladbach right now. They’re without a clean sheet since beating down-and-outs Furth back in November, conceding at least once in each of their last ten in all competitions, conceding two or more in eight of those ten, shipping three or more in six of those eight.
Safe bet
If a ‘safe’ option is what you’re looking for, then take ‘Bielefeld +1 Handicap’. The hosts have an excellent habit of getting results at home and this is an excellent opportunity for them to make it six games unbeaten in front of their own fans. Gladbach have won just one away game since October, while they have a habit of their own, a habit of coming up short when they’re favourites away from home, suffering against teams that can play on the break.
