Bundesliga: Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Wolfsburg Betting Preview, Odds, Prediction

This is arguably the most important match of the season for Borussia Monchengladbach. They now have a chance to reach that fourth place, the last one which leads to the Champions League, but needs to win here. On the other side, Wolfsburg’s mission is to come back home unbeaten and to stay in place No.6, the one which secures the Europa League.

Preview

Borussia (+120) is fifth in the standings with 56 points, one fewer than Bayer Leverkusen, and is waiting for their slip. That might not happen, but still, for Monch, there is no other way around but winning all the remaining matches.

Right now, they have just one victory in the previous five events, with two of the most recent defeats. Both of them were on the road, the first against Freiburg 1-0, and in Munich against Bayern, 2-1.

Monch is oscillating, and they are well aware of that. Several rounds ago, they had a much more comfortable position, but have to adjust to the newly appeared circumstances and forgot all that. Otherwise, that mental pressure could be too much for them.

Wolfsburg (+210) sits sixth in the standings with three points of an advantage over Hoffenheim and four over Freiburg. Their current place leads to the Europe League qualifiers, which allows the Wolves to reach the second most prominent competition in European football if everything goes well.

Ever since the comeback, Wolfsburg isn’t stable at all, losing games at home and posting wins on the road, which is a bit odd for German football. We are used to seeing home teams dominating the games, but it isn’t like that with the Wolves.

Four of six games after COVID-19 pause, ended with over 2.5 goals, and all of them were with both teams to score.

Latest News

Bensebaini is suspended because of yellow card limit, while Strobl, Thuram, and Zakaria sit out this one because of injuries. Fabian Johnson and Raffael are questionable, and we can say that the hosts have numerous issues with injuries.

On the other side, Camacho, Karamoko, Mehmedi, Octavio, and William are all injured and won’t appear for the Wolves.

Head to Head Matches

The first match of the campaign took place in Wolfsburg, and the hosts managed to win that one with 2-1. Arnold scored a winning goal in the 91st minute, igniting a massive eruption of joy at the Volkswagen Arena.

By the way, just one of the previous seven events didn’t end with over 2.5 goals, which suggests that goals should be in focus here.

Prediction

We really do have some feeling about Borussia’s comfortable win in this match. They are playing at home, and all the injuries and Wolfsburg’s inconsistency are just pushing us over the edge when talking about the final result.

Monch’s position is very tough, and they need to win, especially because this event takes place at their home, After the entire expose here, we are suggesting to bet on hosts win at +120. The odds are ok, and apparently, the risk is also low.
