B. Monchengladbach vs RB Leipzig prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2023-09-22 13:30.
Winless in four Bundesliga games to kick-off their season (D2, L2), things look bleak for five-time top-flight winners, Borussia Mƶnchengladbach. The visit of a high-flying RB Leipzig would suggest things are unlikely to get any better in a hurry, but interestingly Gladbach have won their last three home H2Hs, which should boost belief that a maiden win is just around the corner.
With a winless run thus far, youād be forgiven for expecting Gladbach to be short of confidence, but after turning around a 3-0 deficit to claim a 3-3 draw against Darmstadt last weekend, morale should be high. It was only the second time in Bundesliga history that Gladbach had turned around a three-goal reverse, but given Leipzig havenāt dropped a Bundesliga point from a winning position since mid-February, they can ill afford a slow start here.
After opening their UEFA Champions League (UCL) campaign with a 3-1 victory against Young Boys in the week, Leipzig should travel west in a buoyant mood. With a DFL-Supercup already under their belt this season, and three successive league wins in tow, things are looking rather rosy for Marco Roseās side, especially given all three of those wins came by at least a three-goal margin.
Translating that form onto the road on a regular basis has remained challenging for Leipzig, as a perfectly split win/loss record across their last eight away league games would suggest (W4, L4). Tipping the balance in favour of the win column here may not be as simple as the league table indicates, as Rose has struggled when visiting Borussia-Park in a managerial capacity, leaving on the end of a defeat āto nilā on both occasions.
Players to watch: Where thereās goals, thereās usually TomĆ”Å” ÄvanÄara, as his three goalscoring appearances in a Gladbach shirt saw at least six total goals in the game. Born in late May in 2003, Benjamin Å eÅ”ko became the youngest player to score for Leipzig in the UCL in midweek, and all three of his goals this term have arrived on or beyond the 85th minute.
Hot stat: Ahead of the round, Gladbachās Bundesliga matches this season have averaged a joint-league high five goals per game.
