RB Leipzig vs B. Monchengladbach prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-11-08 17:30.
[p]RB Leipzig’s first Bundesliga defeat of the campaign last weekend against Dortmund (2-1) was compounded in midweek as they went on to lose in Europe against Celtic (3-1), thus marking their first consecutive losses since January. Bouncing back to keep pace with league leaders Bayern Munich will be their aim and they should be confident of doing exactly that here given that the Red Bulls had completed a club record 19 consecutive unbeaten Bundesliga games prior to the last round (W13, D6). [/p]
[p]Playing at home should provide a boost for Leipzig, who are unbeaten in each of their last 11 Bundesliga home games (W8, D3), an ongoing record which was second only to Stuttgart’s 16 ahead of this round. Built on solid defensive foundations, Leipzig kept an incredible eight clean sheets during this 11-game period and conceded just three times, whilst seven of those victories ended with a multi-goal margin. [/p]
[p]Leipzig’s imperious home form will surely play a part in the pre-match planning of Borussia Mönchengladbach, who arrive here fresh after a full week of preparation following their stunning 4-1 win over Werder Bremen last weekend. Visiting coach Gerardo Seoane knows all too well the risks posed by this side, as since defeating Leipzig 3-1 in his maiden H2H, his sides have fallen to defeats without reply in their three encounters since. [/p]
[p]Playing away from home could prove yet another hurdle for Gladbach, who travel here on the back of four straight winless domestic trips (D1, L3). Compounding that sense of trepidation may be the fact that Gladbach have not won back-to-back Bundesliga games within the same season since 2021/22, although their last 13 Bundesliga games directly following a win did at least see goals at both ends (D6, L7). [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Loïs Openda scored in Leipzig’s latest home victory and could grow into the game, with five of his six competitive goals this term coming beyond half-time. For Gladbach, midfielder Tim Kleindienst recorded a hat-trick of assists in the previous round to take his run of consecutive goal-contributing competitive games to four (G3, A4). [/p]
[p]Hot streak: None of Leipzig boss Marco Rose’s six personal managerial matches against Gladbach saw both teams score (W4, L2). [/p]
