B. Monchengladbach vs Wolfsburg prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2023-04-08 13:30.
Sunday’s triple header of Bundesliga action begins at Borussia-Park where mid-table Borussia Mönchengladbach look to end a rotten five-game winless run (D3, L2), four of which saw them fail to score. That streak was extended by a drab goalless draw in the Rhine derby last round, sealing their longest winless league run under Daniel Farke’s leadership in the process.
A home return could be just the tonic to stimulate a Gladbach resurgence as they’ve lost just one of their last seven games here (W3, D3, L1). The Foals are currently enjoying their longest ever unbeaten run of top-flight H2Hs against Wolfsburg (W2, D4) and may fancy their chances as a result. However, with no realistic prospect of a European finish or relegation, Gladbach’s season is at risk of fizzling into obscurity with just eight games to go.
Just one place separates these sides in the standings, but with a seven-point gap ahead of their hosts, Wolfsburg’s European prospects look much brighter. The Wolves have put together an impressive five-game unbeaten run (W2, D3) and with each of those draws being earned from losing positions, one can hardly fault the fighting spirit of Niko Kovač’s men.
Playing away from home has rarely slowed Wolfsburg’s progress, with the visitors picking up more points than all clubs bar Bayern and Dortmund ahead of the round (W6, D3, L4). That impressive travelling record has been built on solid defensive foundations; Wolfsburg have conceded a league-low 12 away goals and they could even set a new club record of away Bundesliga clean sheets with what would be a fourth in succession here.
Players to watch: Gladbach’s Marcus Thuram has scored his last five goals at home, including three match winners, with his last away goals being a brace at Wolfsburg! As for the visitors, Maximilian Arnold became the first player since 2000, and only the third in Bundesliga history, to miss a penalty and score an own goal in a game last weekend, although he made up for it with a second-half assist.
Hot stat: Only Bayern Munich have scored in both halves in more Bundesliga games than Wolfsburg’s 13 this season (50%).
