Monchengladbach vs Furth predictions for Saturday’s Bundesliga clash at Borussia Park. Following two positive results at home, the hosts will be looking to move further towards the all-important top six, while the visitors are merely searching for a point. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Under the stewardship of new boss Adi Hütter, it’s been an up and down start to the season for the Borussia Monchengladbach boys, who currently sit in a modest ninth position. Far from terrible but far from great.
After a few disappointing efforts, especially from a defensive point of view, back in August and September, Die Fohlen have tightened up and there’s now something of an air of solidity about Saturday’s hosts, who’ve lost just one of their last six Bundesliga fixtures , conceding no more than a single goal in any of those six. Moreover, they’re unbeaten at home in five this season, again conceding no more than a single goal at any point. Such a record points towards success against a visiting side that has struggled immensely to make an impression at this level.
It’s early days and there’s still plenty of time for what would be an unlikely revival, but it looks as though the visitors are out of their depth in Germany’s top division. 11 games in an Furth is still without a win, obtaining just a single point from a possible 33. Just that one stat essentially says it all. We’re talking about a side that lacks both the resources and the quality to seriously compete at this level.
On their travels, Kleeblätter have lost six out of six, scoring five and conceding a worrying total of 20 in the process. They’re also yet to concede less than two goals on the road, shipping three or more in five out of six. Struggling indeed.
Whichever way we look at this fixture, it’s a huge opportunity for the hosts to extend their promising home record and gain an important three points. Bettors can make this fixture pay by siding with the hosts to win by at least two goals, which they achieved when last faced with opposition in the relegation zone. Moreover, the visitors have lost by at least two goals in 100% of their traveling fixtures against teams currently residing in the top half, losing 3-0 at Mainz, 4-1 at Leipzig and 3-1 at Freiburg.
