Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Handicap – Monchengladbach +1 – 2.25
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Team Goals – Monchengladbach to Score Over 1.5 Goals – 2.62
Monchengladbach +1
The visitors are big outsiders in the betting, and while they certainly shouldn’t be favourites, given recent events, they do appear to have been disrespected a little. After all, they’ve had longer to prepare, are no strangers to getting a result in this sort of game, while we all saw just how easily Dortmund can come unstuck on Thursday evening. Against useful counter-attacking opposition, the hosts don’t warrant such strong favouritism, thus a bet on Gladbach with a goal headstart stands out as a value option.
Monchengladbach to Score Over 1.5 Goals
The visitors found their higher gear in an attacking sense last weekend, which bodes well ahead of this fixture. We also saw how dangerous they can be in such games when scoring twice away at Bayern Munich not so long ago. Combine this with Dortmund’s love for conceding multiple goals and ‘Monchengladbach to Score Over 1.5 Goals’ comes into play at an attractive price.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Dortmund vs Monchengladbach
Dortmund’s up and down run continued on Thursday night as they were humbled on home soil by Scottish outfit Rangers. As has become the norm, a dodgy back-line put paid to any hopes of a first-leg lead. BVB once again looked easy to breach, conceding more than three goals for the second time in three matches.
If we focus just on Dortmund’s domestic form, we can still see that the hosts really have been plagued by defensive insecurities, their clean sheet against Union last week a first since the second week in December. Marco Rose, who left Sunday’s visitors to take over at Signal Iduna Park, has witnessed his side concede two or more in four of the last six in the league. Yes, they have a formidable attacking line up and can often threaten teams for fun, but unless they tighten up, seriously challenging for the title will remain a pipe dream.
Gladbach finally returned to winning ways last weekend, scoring three goals en route to a pleasing win against Augsburg. Defensively, they were far from perfect, conceding two goals, but there was lots to like about the way they adopted a front-footed approach. A similar attacking showing could pay dividends against a home rear-guard that is anything but secure.
The visitors are now unbeaten in three on their travels in the Bundesliga, including a win against Bayern Munich, so we know that they can tussle with the big boys. In fact, these sort of games rarely fluster Adi Hutter’s men, who are well equipped to play on the break in games where they’re not fancied strongly in the betting.
Quick Rich
Something with even more juice in the price than the selections above is ‘Alassane Plea to Score’. The forward found his scoring touch again when Gladbach were last in action on the road, while his numbers point towards him being a solid bet at the current odds. The Frenchman averages 0.31 expected goals per 90 minutes, while he also averages 2.98 shots per 90 minutes.
Dortmund vs Monchengladbach Team News

Highlighted Player
Jonas Hoffmann
Integral to Monchengladbach’s attacking plans, Jonas Hofmann continued his fine season last time out, scoring for the eighth time. The dynamic attacking midfielder averages 0.66 goals and assists combined and is likely to be key to any success the visitors may enjoy on Sunday.
