Borussia Mönchengladbach Preview
Mönchengladbach has had a good season in which in 18 matches they played they registered 7 wins, 4 draws, and 7 defeats. In these matches, they have scored 34 goals (one of the highest scoring teams in the German league) and conceded 29. This leaves them with a goal difference of 5 goals and 25 points.
In the last five matches they have played in the Bundesliga, they have had 2 wins (4-2 vs Borussia Dortmund; 1-4 vs Hoffenheim) and 3 losses (2-1 vs Bochum; 2-3 vs Bayer Leverkusen; 1-0 vs Augsburg). In addition, they scored 11 goals and conceded 9 in these matches.
This may be a rather easy game for the team considering Schalke’s poor run and the large amount of goals they have scored on the season.
Possible lineup (3-5-2): Jonas Omlin; Joe Scally, Ko Itakura, Nico Elvedi; Ramy Bensebaini, Christoph Kramer, Hannes Wolf, Lars Stindl, Jonas Hofmann; Kouadio Koné, Marcus Thuram.
Schalke 04 Preview
On the other hand, we have Schalke 04, who are in the lowest position with a stressful and demanding situation that is crying out for them to win as much as they can to try to avoid relegation. Like the rest of the Bundesliga teams, they have played 18 games, of which they have won just 2, drawn 4, and lost 12.
They have scored 14 goals and conceded a gigantic 41 goals, leaving them with a total goal difference of -27 and just 10 points in the standings. In the last five matches they have one win (1-0 vs Mainz), one draw (0-0 vs Cologne), and three defeats (0-2 vs Bayern Munich; 3-0 vs Eintracht Frankfurt, 1-6 vs Leipzig).
This desperate situation must necessarily bring out a better performance from Schalke 04 against mid-sized teams that can catch up. Besides, Simon Terodde will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Possible lineup (3-5-2): Ralf Fahrmann; Cédric Brunner, Maya Yoshida, Moritz Jenz; Jere Uronen, Tim Skarke, Tom Krauss, Danny Latza, Soichiro Kozuki; Kenan Karaman, Sidi Sane.
JefeBet Prediction
While Schalke 04 will want to avoid relegation at all costs, it is highly likely that they will not be able to beat Mönchengladbach even if they try. For their part, Mönchengladbach comes in on a great scoring streak and will be able to beat Schalke without much trouble.
Prediction: Borussia Mönchengladbach win by 2-0.
