----------------------------------- 

Borussia M’gladbach is welcoming Borussia Dortmund to Borussia-Park in a derby match of round 18 in the German Bundesliga.

 

M’gladbach is playing well at the moment, and they have won 4 of their last 5 games, while one game ended in a draw. With this streak, Borussia is slowly climbing the standings to the desired Champions League spot, and they are now in 7th place with 28 points, just 1 point away from that spot. Offensively, Borussia is doing well with 31 scored goals, while their defense just wasn’t working for this part of the season, and they have conceded 26 goals. In their last Bundesliga game, Borussia was playing against Werder at home, and they have had 59% of ball possession, 6 shots on goal, 7 corner kicks, 0 big chances created, and 84% of the correct passes. It was a tough game, for both teams, but Borussia was slightly better, and they have won this match 1-0 by a goal in the 66th minute. Lars Stindl has scored 9 goals and added 3 assists, while Hofmann added 4 goals and 6 assists. Lazaro, Quizera, Reitz, and Scally are injured, while Thuram is still suspended. Borussia M’gladbach has kept two clean sheets in their last 4 games, which is a sign of improvement, but they need to keep it up now if they want to reach that Champions League spot.

 

Just when I thought Dortmund is finally on track to catch up to Bayern, and that their struggles are over, Borussia Dortmund’s goes winless in their last 2 games, and even though they are creating chances, they are struggling with scoring goals. The biggest problem for Dortmund is that when Haaland is not scoring, Borussia is not scoring, and that is exactly what is happening. Haaland has scored 12 goals so far, but he hasn’t scored in the last 2 games. Sancho has added 7 assists. Hazard, Schmelzer, Zagadou, and Witsel are injured, while Delaney is suspended because of the yellow cards. Borussia Dortmund is now in 4th place with 29 points, 33 scored goals, and 22 conceded goals, and they are now massive 10 points behind Bayern. Earlier this week Borussia Dortmund was playing against Bayer Leverkusen on the road, and they have had 53% of ball possession, 3 shots on goal, 5 corner kicks, 2 big chances created, and 84% of the correct passes. After conceding a goal in the 14th minute, Borussia was determined to tie the score, and they did in the 57th minute. After a brilliant counterattack, Borussia has conceded a goal in the 80th minute, and they ended up losing this game 2-1. Borussia is dreaming about the Bundesliga title for a while, and they will keep dreaming because it will not happen this season.

 

M’gladbach has lost only 1 game so far this season, but they haven’t lost any of their last 5 games. Dortmund has won their last 5 games on the road against M’gladbach, and the trends are on their side. Because of Dortmund’s sloppy defense, I think we will see some goals here, on both sides because I don’t think Haaland can stay quiet for 3 games in a row.

 

Pick：Borussia Dortmund
